The popular star noted that she had learned about the benefits of resting and being consistent and vowed that the best years of her career were yet to come. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;As I\u2019ve gotten older and the longer I wrestle I\u2019m learning the benefits of actual rest, recovery, and consistency in what I eat daily. It\u2019s been a learning process this last year and key to these last 10 weeks. I\u2019m far from where I want to be but I feel better than I have in a really long time. I know these next 6 weeks are really going to test me! Thank you, Jay! I truly feel that I haven\u2019t even hit my prime yet.
