well, last thursday 23 was my last day working out.
tomorrow i will have accomplished my week of rest. althou the gym is going to be closed ´til monday so i am taking more or less 1 week and 3 days of resting after 4 months hard work.

i have been cheating all this week, i feel fantastic. ir is really a change. i am thinknig on going for a run on treadmill and do some abs but i am not sure. should i or just wait ´til monday? and do you think one week is enough?

i know i should have taken this week earlier but i just couldnt. but better late than never right? LOL

If it is a week off then so be it. No exercise and stay focused on the diet. Rest is rest! Our abs work all the time even when we don't train them.
