Protein Shakes and Working Out

[Dawn 16]

Today was an ERROR! LOL I am really trying to get my Protein in so I said I was going to make sure to do a shake each morning! So this morning I make my chocolate Peanut Butter shake at about 0715 and we left for the gym at about 0830 and I finshed it up on the way. Get on the treadmill and my poor tummy was "sloushy like" and just didn't feel good! I couldn't even make it 30 mins, after 15 I had to stop! Went to the restroom thinking I might be sick and wasn't thankgoodness but UGH I felt icky! Sat in the locker room burping! LOL

So, I have now learned to not do this again! LOL I think I'll make my shake and drink half in the morning and then half after the workout and see if that works!

Haha! Yeah, it's a fine balance between eating too much and too little pre-workout....I've been on both ends, from almost vomiting to collapsing because of low blood sugar (all pre-sleeve, actually!). As far as Protein Shakes, if you are doing whey, they are best right after your workout, anyway - it's a fast-digesting Protein and your muscles need protein most right after a workout.
