What Makes Me Sick

One word of advice: Don't eat too much before a gruelling workout.

Today I attempted my second crossfit workout. Prior to the workout I had been snacking on raw almonds.

I tried a "lite" version of the workout - but even so, about half-way through the workout I found myself on the floor - panting like a dog - and struggling to retain the contents of my stomach.

It makes me realise how slack I have become in my exercise habits recently. I mean really slack.

Today's workout combined pull-ups, press-ups, sit-ups, and squats. That's a lot of "ups". Fortunately the squats are without any weights.

It's funny how you can train in a gym full of a hundred different machines - but still be completely out of shape.

  • Maybe you were also ill.
    Just take a little bit at a time.
    How about ten min crossfit workout.
    Then every week or two add a min.


    PS keep up the good work.

  • I here where you are coming from. At the beginning of the year I weighed around 212lbs and I'm now hovering between 200 and 198 but can't seem to get below there. The "charts" say ideally I should weigh about 164lb but I'll be happy to get to 175-180lbs. I'm not sure about these charts however. The BMI chart says I am obese but I barely look overweight. I have a blog very much like this. You can find it in my link.

  • The best thing to do is to give yourself a break if your workout are making you feel sick. Working out when sick will not help you at all exact on running your body down even further.

  • Acid reflux sometimes acts up so I can get that way if I eat too much or two little. Right now it's not bothering me.
