Morning Exercise Habit - Page 10 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

A question for you morning exercisers. What do you do about food? I tend to not be hungry right after I get up in the morning, but if I don't eat and then workout I have occasionally gotten a little light headed part way through my run. On the other hand if I eat, I feel gross/sluggish and can end up with pretty bad cramps. Any thoughts or solutions? Something special you eat in the morning?

I am a walker for exercise so not too strenuous. If I actually do exercise right out of bed, I generally don't eat anything unless I'm planning something a lot longer than my usual 45 min walk.

Glad to see you Tracy! Was wondering where you were.

Hope you have a nice fresh start tomorrow. I'm off for a 5 mile hike tomorrow so calories will be burned!

Look forward to hearing a report tomorrow.

Hugs,
Peg

I am exhausted. I hiked for 5 miles with 1600' elevation gain today. It took me over 4 hours of hiking to do it. It was gorgeous though!

Sorry I fell off the face of the earth. Crazy weekend...I have to go back to work to rest! LOL

I did my 5 mile hike on Saturday and I'm still sore.

I also hit TOM so have low energy. I was running around both yesterday and today allllll day so no intentional exercise. I'm going to try tomorrow night to at least do 30 min after my drive home.

How's everyone else doing?

Good job Tracy! I'm here but busy both work and home. I'm checking in occasionally. Trying to get a walk in tonight. We'll see if it happens!

HI Peg,
45 min elliptical before 10am !

Hope you're having a good day!

p7eggyc · 08-06-2009, 12:43 PM

Look who's back on track! I did walk for 30 min last night even though it was dark and buggy. I felt so much better afterwards. It really helped decompress me after a stressful day.

Hi Peg,
I think I got my groove back!

50 min on elliptical before noon!
I better not speak to soon

Have a good day!

p7eggyc · 08-07-2009, 01:50 PM

Look at you go...met the mini goal, less than 100 lbs to lose and you are back in your exercise groove! You are doing so great!

I need to get exercise in the next 3 days to meet my Labor Day goal on another board. I'm behind the 8 ball this week in a big, big way. I can do it though!
