Nothing came easy in the gym this week. Wondering if taking a few days off to give my whole body some rest might do me some good. At some point I will need to start eating more, and that should probably be sooner than later.
For me a few days of rest certainly helps. I used to be somewhat nervous about doing it because my diet wasn't great and I needed to burn a LOT of calories on a regular/daily basis. Now that my diet it a little bit better I don't feel like crap or notice any notable weight gain if I don't workout a few days to let my body rest.
A normal routine with regular intermittent rest days is still my best option, but not at all worried about taking 2-3 days off if/when my body is telling me to.
