What I'm Reading This Week #26
Well you made it to Friday! I don't know where y'all are but unless you were near Glacier National Park that got snow this week, you were probably boiling in your own pudding to quote Charles Dickens. I do not dig 90 degrees by noon and it feels like everything is frying left and right including us. Most of the week I had the 50% shade cloths on the veggies to attempt to save as much as I can. I need to get the next batch of lettuce in the shade planter to see if I can successfully grow there over the summer since it never gets direct sun. I told the Mr the other day I feel like nothing is in the right place back there. I have a lot of containers and I don't know if I need to put some of them on a little ledge since the 5 gallon buckets take up so much room or not. The zinnias being in a long planter on the fence were a mistake but they were only put there because I had so many extras and didn't want to chuck them. I have a few struggling...
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.
ReplyDeleteI don't necessarily get sick if I eat before I work out, but I'm a lot more comfortable and can workout with higher intensity if I don't I used to go to curves right after work and an apple on the drive over was just about right.
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.
