My Favorite Products That Make My Life Easier
I'm sure you probably know from today to Friday (11th) is Prime Day. If you remember my post about how I can keep this place up and running yearly, you know unfortunately Amazon is really the only way I can make that happen since I'm considered a 'mini' blogger. My sassy thoughts doth not jibe with sponsors, my following is small (which I love actually) so Amazon affiliate links are the only way I can hit that target. I will say that due to tariff pauses expiring at the end of day today, prices could go way up tomorrow (9th) so I would encourage you to buy today even though Prime Day doesn't end until the 11th. I know I will be. I'm going to share products I love and if you check 'em out and buy them or anything on Amazon once you click through, it'll help me keep the place jumpin'. Electric Spin Scrubber I can't begin to tell you the game changer this is especially for someone who isn't a clean freak. The last thing my mind but mor...
I cannot workout full but I seem to have a tolerance for a little something. My preference, however, is an empty stomach and water to stay hydrated. Then post workout I need something usually pretty soon after.

ReplyDeleteFor the most part I don't eat before working out, particularly if I'm swimming at the Y. That's a two hour session so I'm somewhat hungry when I get done and will have my Glucerna shake on the drive home. If I workout at home and feel hungry beforehand, it's pretty much the same thing which is a piece of bread and a slice of turkey deli meat.
ReplyDeleteI'm team empty stomach. Just thinking about exercising 30 minutes after eating a big snack, like yogurt and fruit, just makes me feel sluggish. Having an immediate post workout snack works best for me.
ReplyDeleteIt is a balancing act, I prefer to exercise on an empty stomach, but I have to keep my blood sugar levels in mind. It does me no good if I feel like passing out while exercising because my sugar levels are too low. I try to wait at least an hour after a meal to work out and even then I like to keep it light.
ReplyDeleteMy teeth hurt if I exercise too long without food. It's as if they sense the calorie deficit and are trying to pull nutrition through the roots. It happens if I go too long without a meal too but is more pronounced when combined with activity. When I would go to the gym, a banana on the drive over would help but I was never a fan of a meal within 2 hours of a serious workout.
