Where have you been Cara???

Sigh ... yes I've been kind of avoiding my blog lately ... as if you didn't notice. I only hope that y'all are saying "Where have you been Cara ???" The reason I've been absent? my journey to fierce fitness has hit a bit of a bump in the road. That bump? Fatigue. The remedy? rest ... and lots of it. I won't go into detail about my issues (I may have mentioned it before ... adrenal fatigue) but I will say it has knocked me on my ass. I don't have energy to do much. My workouts would knock me out. I had a hard time pushing myself in the gym. It's not only frustrating, but a bit depressing as well. So I've been advised by a fitness/nutrition/wellness professional to take 30 days of rest, do restorative yoga, rest, relax, rest, read good books, rest, watch funny movies, rest, eat clean, and rest. Did I mention rest? Any good fitness professional will tell you REST is just as important as a good workout. I guess you just gotta know when you've gone too far.
