Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 154

Day 154 I wasn't sure how my workout today was going to turn out. I had a terrible sleep the night prior and wasn't feeling great. I had a client cancel just before lunch which opened up a perfect window to get in a workout. I like working out before a meal, so I can take advantage of the post-workout window and get the most amount of nutrients absorbed. I started warming up, but had to stop. I was just too tired and decided to get some food instead.

After lunch, I was teaching a class and started to feel light headed, which I thought was a bit strange as my blood sugar certainly wasn't low. I finished the class and was about to start with my 1:00 when I started to feel really uncomfortable. I chalked it up it being tired and probably a little dehydrated. I ended up asking my client if we could post-pone our session, then went home, drank a bunch of water and took a 45 minute nap. I woke up feeling much better and went back to work.

My 3:00 was really nice and let me be her workout partner. We hit the weights for some relatively heavy lifting. The possibility of doing some more exercise later was a possibility but I'd have to wait and see how I felt.

Later in the day I ran my conditioning group. I thought about joining them but I figured that seeing as I needed to go home and lie down this afternoon, it would be better to hold off. They did a really tough session of stair sprints with body weight drills. It looked like fun. I look forward to joining in with them on Wednesday. Hopefully, I'll get a better sleep tonight.
