I need a real break

The last few weeks, I've been trying my best to play tennis as best I can without making my elbow worse. I've been staying away from the gym, too, and I end up with a mysterious muscle injury on my non-playing shoulder. On top of that, I don't seem to be improving in any way at the court. All my timing's off and my blood sugar yo-yos if I take just 300gm less of carbohydrates before I go to train. So now, I'm carrying an extra 12 or so pounds of fat and I'm feeling worse than depressed again.


I think it's time for a holiday. I think I just need to get away from familiar surroundings and see new stuff, eat different kiinds of food, wander new lands on my own for a bit and come back refreshed and ready to go again.
