Boring Weekend Recap
source Monday, we meet again. You come on like lightning you saucy wench. I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool. We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun. I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to. The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart. The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise. It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know. It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay.

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.

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.
