Hi Cathe...and everyone,
Very rarely do I take a day off from cardio. Lately I have been trying to do more weights and a little less cardio. Normally I would do cardio everyday, sometimes even twice a day.
So today I went for a short bike ride and then I did the bicep and the chest exercises from the CTX series. I had planned to go for a jog when I got off work at 9 because it felt as if I didn't do any cardio today.
But now it is pouring rain outside and I thought that maybe I would do aerobics but then I am going to get up at 6 tomorrow morning and work out because I am going to work in the morning and then we are going out of town for the weekend.So now I am sitting here because I decided not to do anything and I feel just as bad as I would if I had eaten a tub of ice cream and 7 big bags of chips.
Now is this a normal way to be? Can I not get a break with out my mind getting the better of me? I wish that I could take 2 days off a week from cardio and actually be able to rest.Not just my body but my mind.And now I am going to pack my sneakers to so that I can get up and go for a jog on Saturady morning before we go out shopping.
Please tell me I am not alone...I think that I have the awful feeling that if I take a day off I am going to gain weight.
