    i did the same for a period but in the end i realised i couldnt keep it up indefinately--if you did you would get injured--you will adjust to eating the additional calories and when you stop it will be hard to rationalise for the drop in activity--my motto in life -everything in moderation!
    i am trying to shrink my calorie intake and keep fit--a life long balance

    Definitely take the rest. One thing I noticed is I had a week and a half of intense work outs and then a friend came to visit for a few days and I did nothing, and I noticed a weight loss. My body had been retaining water to repair from my work outs, and the rest let things get back to normal. Rest is definitely a good thing, you just gotta be sure to get back into it the next day after you rest (that used to be a big problem for me!). I'm sure that won't be a problem for you with how determined you seem to be. :happy:

    REST!!!!

    You should always give your body AT LEAST 1 day a week to recover and rest. Do not feel guility. By working out everyday, you risk overtraining, injury, etc.

    Exactly, over training will hurt you in the long run. Your body needs a break. You can take an active rest day where you do yoga (like mentioned), go for a leisurely walk, swim... do things that don't make your muscles have to work too hard.
