Woke up this morning 1/2" down on my waist and 1/2" down on my hips. I am now officially at 24% body fat! I am so happy I could cry! I felt a little lazy yesterday, but I really needed the extra rest day, so I didn't push myself.
You absolutely have to take rest days to see the gains you have made from all of your hard work. I pushed myself really hard the last 10 days and lost several pounds - my body needed a little bit more of a break.
Now I can go back to my 2 days on, 1 day off schedule because that works for me really, really well. I used to work out 6 days a week (14 years ago), but now my body likes this new schedule. So I need to just listen to my body.
