I don't think he's trying to kill me

My session with the trainer today was rather intense (I love running stairs, really, at least that's what I'm telling myself). I ended up a little queasy and couldn't finish the ab work in the last 10 minutes. The last few sessions have been fine so I think it has to do with what I'm eating for breakfast, I need something other omlettes, anyone have any suggestions?

Last full week of classes. I'm putting together a review session for tomorrow for one lecture class and the other ends next week. (Okay now I'm sitting on the couch whining about how my legs hurt instead of working.) I'm looking at lots of grading but also a more flexible schedule.

On the plus side SciFi is showing the Sentinel, the episode where Blair has to move in with Jim. And tomorrow we're going to Cirque du Soleil!

I usually have coffee and either a protein bar or a protein drink or a piece of bread with peanut butter on it or something, depending on whether or not I forgot I have to go to the gym that morning. The coffee is essential for me. I've noticed I always work out better/harder if I've had caffeine.

My guy makes me do stairs too. Every time, I'm like, "You know I live in a 4th-floor walkup, right?" (not technically true since they fixed the elevator, but still...)

I always have a bowl of oatmeal with milk, walnuts, and dried cranberries before working out. It has to be old-fashioned oats, not quick or instant, because they have more fiber and take longer to digest. Even so, I'm usually starving by the time I'm finished working out, so then I have a low-fat mozz cheese stick (string cheese!), an apple, and a sometimes a bottle of water with Special K2O protein powder mixed in.

I have no suggestions; I get queasy unless I work out fasting and eat afterwards.

My standbye pre-exercise breakfast has tended to be toast with peanut butter which usually sustains without making you feel sick during intense activity. Recently, I've found that adding milk and or a banana helps too.

An un-recommendation is chocolate covered espresso beans. Just so you know.
