In Need Of a Rest!
So I’m starting to get really weak and tired. I think I’m in need of a break. I hate taking breaks cause I always lose muscle and I’m JUST starting to make some great progress. When I take breaks I always feel fat, lazy and gross! But I know that if I don’t take a break it can only bring bad things. I will just continue to get increasingly more tired and soon enough I won’t show any progress. When I take breaks, I feel like ALL my hard work just went to waste! Maybe things will be different this time since I’m eating clean now. Ugh! I don’t want to take a break!

I’m starting to get into the same situation where it’s time for a break. Forntunately my break will be in Cancun, Mexico relaxing on the beach, so looking forward to the vacation break. If you’re body is telling you to take a break, TAKE A BREAK. you will lose even more muscle if you continue to work at the current state you’re in. You won’t lose muscle and gain fat if your diet is intact. It’s just a break, not retirement so take a week off or even two. Maybe do some low to moderate cardio during you’re break if you really must do something. Other than that relax, take a break.

how did your break go. I just made myself take one after 15 hard weeks. I was trying to fight it and kept going to the gym. I was becoming tired and today i just walked out and said see you next week.
