laurenjanu: Don't Do It

How do you feel about fasted cardio? Some people love it, some people dont like it. I for one do it either way. I have no preference. Most mornings, I eat my reals regular and fit in a workout when available. However, some days I just dont get breakfast. I wake up just a little bit late and the kids need me for everything (psh, you'd think a 2yr old and a 9 mo old should be able to change diapers, wipe bums, get dressed, feed themselves and clean the house by themselves now right...?) so breakfast becomes a thing of yesterday. Before I knew it, it was 2 hours after I had woken up and I hadnt eaten anything. But it was my little window of opportunity to work out. So... Yeah, I did it. I worked out. BAD IDEA, LAUREN. Meal prep fail, I had nothing to just pop in my mouth so i could have something pre-workout. Plus it was a 55 min workout too. You know its really bad when your stomach is growling through the warm-up. So long story really short. I made it through 30 mins before I hit fatigue. Its crazy when you feel it. I was warm and doing great, and then my muscles started to hurt, and then i lost my breath and I just couldnt do it anymore. My energy was all gone. Literally my first thought was, "...man i wish i had a Gu or something..." I hate those things, but they give you a fast energy boost. The rest of the day I spent trying to catch up to my stupid mistake, I had a headache all day and I was in so much pain. I couldnt even do yoga (sad face.) Never doing that again. Worst ever. Ugh. Well I got lots of sleep and feel better today but here's how I was yesterday... watching the rest of the workout finish...
