Time to rest

I met with my trainer yesterday. She told me that my muscles were tired, I could not do as much as I normally do (I was a bit upset, but understood at the same time). She told me to take today off - NO cardio and NO weights and NO Wii fitt! I looked at her as if she was nuts, as I have become addicted to the exercise. She assured me that all was going well, and that I will hurt myself if I don't give myself at least one day off each week. So today, I am going through withdrawal but instead of blowing or straining a muscle, I am taking her advise. It is so hard to sit back and not do it (the exercise). I am finding myself doing things that need to be done around the house, that I have procrastinated on, I am also finding myself getting bored today - mind you the time is only 9:18am. I have a long ways to go today. I have checked some emails, sent some out, booked a Tupperware party, and vacuumed my floor. This afternoon I have a First Aid class to attend, then tonight we have family game night. Sounds like a full day, right? Other than the class and game night everything is done. SO I think I will sit and read, then work on some of my girl scout files updates. Then maybe take a nap. Hopefully I won't returned to the "I'm bored, lets see what there is to eat" today. A year ago to be told not to exercise, would be no big deal - but now? I'm fighting myself to take a breather!
