Seems the hardest thing for me are rest days. I want to push the iron on rest days, knowing that rest is important. I do some cardio on these days, but have read that total rest is needed. I feel like a slug if I just sit idle. What to do, what to do?

  Forgive me for popping up in your flog but I often feel the same and so felt the need to connect. I try to focus on recovery like foam rolling, massage, Epsom bath and light stretching/movements (tai chi, yoga, swimming). It's difficult for me (glad I'm not the only one!) but I try to make the effort to obey those rest days. Good luck!
