Hi everyone!

I'm a 19yr old female and I'll been lifting for about 2 months now. Recently I had to miss 2 of my lifting workouts because i had to go away and there werent any facilities where I was. I'm a natural worry wart and let things get me down, so I was actually quite depressed about missing my workouts. Please can you let me know whether I need to worry about this or just let it go. I'm really serious and commited to gaining muscle mass. Also (god I'm going on arent I!) do interruptions to my workout schedule every now and then have a dramatic effect on my gains? I'd be really grateful for any advice! Sorry to be such a whinny old fart!

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain

Actually a rest period of a few days to week every 3 months or so is a great idea. You really build muscle whil resting so you actually grow while taking abreak! Good LUck
