tired? or under-nourished?

I guess I was a bit more worn out from the night's hike in the inclimate weather than I thought, but NATURALLY Friday night was gorgeous. Sheesh.

I did go work out, only to find that I might not have "fueled" up enough but that was ok. I plowed through the eliptical cardio, then did some upper body weights for my back and arms, then off to use the 8lb non-bouncing ball to do ab work - yes, the side to side thingy with the ball as I balance on my butt...sheesh, then finally off to do another fast walk before calling it a night.

I was pooped and realized I didn't drink enough water or had not eaten enough prior to the workout. A lesson in the fueling of the body the guy from RMI spoke of when climbing Mt Rainier...wow, didn't realize it before when I did the same damn thing, but now that I understand what is happening it made total sense. Doh!

So, the training lesson of the day (which I have experienced before but didn't "know" what happened)...yes, you need to eat and drink or the body will just say "done" and quit on you.

Now the better planning of my meals will happen and timing of when to eat will happen too. Eat only when I am hungry but make sure there are small snacks or something throughout the day even if the day only consists of snacking of the proper fuels my body needs ESPECIALLY prior to a hike or workout and during said hike or workout. :)

Headspace is coming back again...YAY!
