    Muscles are torn in the gym, fed in the kitchen, and grown in bed.

    Rest days are important. Your body needs time to heal. I have to force myself to take Sundays off from lifting, and every other week I take a true rest day - no cardio, no weights, just rest.

    if you feel good with your program and diet, then no its not bad, its your new lifestyle. But if you feel like you are pushing too hard, physically exhausted , malnourished, etc then its ok to rethink your program and incorporate breaks.

    that sounds like its worse for your friends than it is for you. its ok to take a day off and have cheat days, if you want to . But if you don't want to, its ok to not let your friends pressure you to do something you don't want to do. I sometimes have to go out with my friends because they nag and i have a duty to maintain my friendships, , but they also understand that the gym is my life right now and they are always welcome to come lift with me :) but they never do.
