Not only that but I'm starting to feel mentally more rejuvenated and have discovered some interesting things in regard to listening to my body closely, the first already mentioned and the second in regard to nutrition. I have been really paying close attention to what my body has been calling for, and have discovered that at all times I "crave" healthy foods, but the macro nutrient profile changes upon training and resting periods. For example, during high volume blocks my body calls for protein, produce, fruits and veggies and a little carbohydrate from non-gluten grains. During this resting period I am finding that my body is not calling for any animal protein but instead a teensy bit more complex carbohydrates (from non-gluten grains, fruits, veg) , Raw foods, fruits, nuts and of course, as usual, LOTS or VEGGIES! Interesting how if we truly listen to the signals God has implemented in our bodies we will live optimally according the phase and season that our lives our in! God is amazing!
Lesson learnt: Listen to you body, rest when you truly need it.... so that you can rock on and get fitter!! Rest today, rock tomorrow!
Flourish
