Day 2

I needed it as yesterday I destroyed my muscle tissues, and have a big case of DOMS. Which is good, as I know I am working myself out enough. As for calorie intake, I had about 2300 calories today which for my size, I think in plentiful. Looking forward to waking up tomorrow morning, to see how sore I am. I also do my second weight workout session tomorrow as well. I do have one question for rest days, can I still do cardio on my rest days, or does rest day literally me do nothing?
