Last Weekend of April Recap
It's the start of another week. How did that happen? I have been battling with Walmart for two weeks trying to get these ultra cheap pots I need for the clematis and I'll be danged if they don't sell out in minutes before they can even get to my order. I can't go paying top dollar for these things and I have an "oops" coupon for them coming to a close that I need to use. If not, I'll have to poke around the two other stores we have freebies for but I don't think they're as cheap so I can't get as many. Apparently ALL of the gardeners are chompin' at the bit to get stuff planted this year. May I please get my 4 pots and y'all can have the rest? 😝 We have blown through season after season of Alone for like a week and a half. I know we're late to the party but has anyone else watched that? I have to say my brain feels like I could do it to some degree. The things I say they should be doing or thinking about in the beginning...
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.
