It came to a boiling point for me when I couldn't finish an entire 300 workout earlier this week. Not because I didn't have the stamina, but because I had 30 minutes with my trainer and I just couldn't get the whole thing done in that time frame.

I went through my routine, my diet, my daily schedule, and realized the only change is that I have worked out every day since June 24th. Most of those days have been at Anytime, a few have been with friends at other gyms, and a few have been "wogs" around my neighborhood with my dog (wog = walk/jog, aka my version of running). Huzzah, good for me! Except I think maybe my body needs a rest day.
I'm sure there are a lot of you that are like, "but Angie, I've worked out every day since 1994 and I feel fantastic!" I'm happy for you, and actually quite jealous.
So. Tomorrow, no matter how weird I feel skipping the gym, I'm not going. My first rest day in 6 weeks. Keep your fingers crossed that this is what I need to re-boot and start feeling amazeballs again!
Yes! Listen to your bod! It saying it wants rest! :) enjoy your day off! You will feel so much better & stronger! You rock!
