Exercise Log

Starting last week, I've been getting back onto an exercise schedule. I -have- to improve on everything if I want to go to Italy. This is mostly for my own benefit too

I approve of this.

When is it best to take protein? I usually do try to take it right after my workout but sometimes I forget.

Also, I felt kind of woosy after wednesday's work out. What does that mean?

As soon as you wake up, 40 minutes prior to working out and immediately after working out. If you're gonna be taking whey protein only once a day, go for the immediately -after- working out.

Also, you need consistency when consuming protein otherwise the benefits will be negligible.

You felt woozy after finishing all exercises or after transitioning between exercises? Sometimes wooziness boils down to not having consumed enough calories in the day.

I made that mistake once, I only had a side salad for lunch because I was busy at work then headed to the gym... I quickly collapsed after finishing weighted sit ups.

Hm.. I think it was transitioning this time. Yeah, after I did 20 minutes on the elliptical.

I'll have to make sure to eat more in the morning. Usually I just have a small bite to eat, then head off first thing in the morning.

Yeah right now it's cardio, flexibility and core-muscle stuff. I think I'm adding some light weight training soon. Not sure what yet.. need to consult my friend/trainer. Do you have suggestions? I just hope I can keep this up and keep improving x.x

I'm getting a bit obsessive over this.. mainly because I don't want to be a burden to my friends as we backpack through parts of Italy.

Do you ever feel bad afterwards? My stomach was pretty upset most of yesterday after my workout. Don't know if it was from that or maybe I didn't eat enough in the morning before I went. Felt lightheaded too.
