Rest week feels SO good

[Boybert]

I am relatively new to Cathe and began her gung ho. Boy do I love her workouts but they take it all out of you. I was traveling this past week w/ my son (tiring in itself) but I need a few more days to recoup. I found myself today thinking what I could do exercise wise and nothing appealed to me. I just feel a bit fatigued. I think I will pick back up Monday. I'm guessing this is my body's way of saying "let me rest" - and you know what? I don't feel a bit guilty for once. Ahhhh...now where did I leave my chocolate?

I hear you Debbie! For the past 10 days or so, the thought of going in my basement just depresses me. Nothing cardio wise has appealed to me and I have forced myself to do step/kickbox. I have done the strength workouts though. For the last three days, I have walked my dog briskly for 4 miles for cardio. It just feels so good to be out in the crisp air and sunshine. I've been cooped up for so long in my basement. I'm sure I'll get back down there as the weather here will take a turn over the weekend (rain/wet snow/bone chilling) So sick of it. Anyway, I'm enjoying my walks even though it's not intense cardio.

Oh my gosh, I going through this right now...it's as though my body is saying, "forget it lady, we ain't workin' for ya" I am normally so motivated, but this week I cannot seem to care! It's frustrating, but I think I am going to just take the week off, relax, paint my toes, have some coffee, read a book, and resume activities next week. And I refuse to feel guilty about it! I think its because my daughter has been sick with a stomach virus, which doesn't show up till the middle of the night, when she's waking me up every 10 minutes heading for the bathroom...oh well, this too shall pass...Pam

Good for you for listening to your body and taking some time off. I always find you come back refreshed and stronger!

This is exactly where I am this week, too! I actually had this planned for a while and had to mentally prepare myself, so that I wouldn't feel guilty! But boy, does it feel good to sleep in! And I'm pretty sure by Mon. I'll feel like giving it all I've got
