Rest

So when is it a good time to rest? For me I would say never. Some would say more than 2-3 times a week. I don't usually rest. I push my body and push my body. The past couple days - I have not pushed my body. In fact - I have had 3 good days of rest with today being one of those 3 days. I just haven't felt like going to the gym.

What?! Really!?

Yes really.

My body is tired. My hips are killing me. I needed a break. I finished the leg and booty challenge - which I still need to update my progress. I loved it. I loved doing 3 days of legs and probably will add an extra leg day in on my cardio days when I start the second Hardcore Challenge. I loved that my legs got stronger with this last challenge.

Did I lose weight - not really. I floated between 2-3 lbs up and down. It all depended on my water intake and my hard vs soft lifting days. So I basically would gain a few pounds - lose a few pounds. It happens and I'm ready to continue the weight loss so I have decided to do one more challenge. Then once that challenge is over - I'm going to do my own challenge to finish out the year.

Why you ask?

Well basically I want to see what I can get to by 1/1/15. I want to do my yearly progress pictures on 1/13/15 and see the dramatic difference. I hated taking pictures that day. I still am not a fan of looking back at what I let myself become. But frankly I was on a lot of medication that wasn't good. I had woman problems and that sucked. I don't anymore. I'm full force kicking butt and I love it.

So right now when my body says REST. I rest. My hips say REST. I rest. Come September 2nd. There is no rest. Well maybe my week trip to Oakland but that's hearsay haha I'm still going to eat right and we walk to the stadium and breakfast so I will be good :D I just need to watch my alcohol intake haha

So if you body says rest. Listen to it. It's the best thing you can do!

Smile :D
