NOTE: When I woke up today I felt a little more exhausted and achy than I have been. With so planned classes to attend at the gym today, I thought I might go do some treadmill work this afternoon...but my body wasn't having any part of that. I decided this was a good day to take a break, get a little rest and get back at it again tomorrow. It's a smart move to listen to your body giving you these signals and respond accordingly. I enjoy good quality physical activity, but I also know my limits. As I'm approaching 40, I want to stay active with my healthy low-carb lifestyle and find the appropriate times for rest as well. It's a constant journey that I'm happy to be traveling on.
