A weak moment

This whole workout thing, is totally a work in progress. It seems like every day I learn something new to help enhance it. Well, today...I had to crash to learn something...lol I did my 30 minutes on the elliptical, and was feeling kinda sluggish anyway (though I ended up being faster than yesterday), but as soon as I stepped off the ellip, I started feeling weak and dizzy. So I headed to the bathroom to sit down fora mintue and let my heart rate come back down. I talked to my trainer afterward, and she said it was because I ate literally right before I started. (Had a pbj on the way) So all my body's energy was involved in digestion. Good to know!!! I felt ok enough eventually and went on to do a bit more, see below, but it was kind of scary. A very good lesson learned.

Ok food...breakfast was some sandwich crackers and an applesauce. Midmorning I had a Russell Stovers peanut butter egg. Yes I know. But yum. Lunch was a KFC grilled chicken breast and mashed potatoes. My afternoon snack was crackers and almonds. Before my workout, I had a pbj. And afterward, my workout buddy and I took the kids to Schlotzsky's. I had a turkey bacon club sandwich, a few chips, and one small piece of D's pizza to end my day at 2203 calories.

Workout: 30 minutes on the elliptical at 3100 strides. And then 30 minutes of slow walking on the treadmill to stretch out my legs.
