Taking a week off weight lifting

[DCI]

Every once in a while I think it's a good idea to take a week off. I was drained mentally and physically from work a combo of other things. Thinking I was close to loosing my job etc. But got reassurance there during the week that all is good. But hat does everyone else feel? I wasn't in the mood for lifting this week and now I can't wait to get back in there and bang out the weight does anyone else feel like that sometimes or am I on my own.

I think I feel more depressed if I dont get in the gym and work out my agression lol

Ahh I know what you mean normally I am the same man. But just needed it too clear my head and to relax. I was way too tired to be honest. Esp when I do over 60 hour week with 2k miles driving.

I like to take a week off every 3 months or so but only if my body feels like it needs it. One thing I noticed about myself is that I must try very hard during that week to continue to eat right because it seems lke if Im not going to the gym, I lose my drive to eat good. Not to hijack but anyone else have a hard time with that too?

That's exactly what I was feeling to be honest. My body was just telling me to relax and I need the time off. Emm I still eat but not a 100% as I would when I would be training. It's about 90% good.

I feel the same, i just get to a point when i feel the body needs a bit more of a rest, usually about every 3 months, and have some of the same problems, during time off i also have to really force in the food, guess i work on habit, gym/eat etc

on a serious note I feel depressed and angry if I dont sepend time working out. I take one day off and still I manage to do 30 minutes cardio in it. For me excersice is the line b/w sanity for me I am pretty sure I will go insane If I dont do my excersice.
