UPDATED: A couple of NTTCALR questions

edited October 2013 in TTC After a Loss

Morning girls! I have a couple of questions for ya.  1. Since I am now serious about getting into better shape, what day is the Healthy Living thread posted?  2. And also, is it better to eat before or after a lunchtime workout?   Today will be my first day at the gym and I'd like to begin the Couch to 5K on the treadmill.  Thanks for your input and/or suggestions!  Looking forward to beginning a new healthier life TODAY!  Hugs to everyone in need!

 

UPDATE: I did it!  Day 1 of C25K...done.  Tomorrow some very light strength training then Day 2 on Wednesday!

    Hi Quig!!

    I try and eat after a workout. I find it makes it easier for me. If I try and work out on a full stomach I just don't feel as well throughout. Although, I do try and have a snack right before for a little extra energy.

    Best of luck to you!!! Enjoy the Gym!

    Thanks PC! I think I'll try that today and see how I feel.  :)

    I agree with @pink camino that if I eat more than a light snack before a workout I feel super full and miserable. I usually grab a banana or eat a few crackers with peanut butter at least 30 minutes before I workout or run. Have fun today!!

    I agree with PC. Eating before a workout does not agree with me.

    I like to have a light snack a couple of hours before I work out, so my stomach doesn't feel full, but I'm not starving.  And then I will usually eat an hour or so after I work out.

    Eat lunch after, but make sure you eat a good breakfast or a snack a few hours before. Working out hungry is also not a good idea. Have fun today!

    I have to eat something light about an hour before a workout. I usually eat a banana, or something similar. A little more if I'm doing a hard workout or long run. This is to ensure I have enough fuel in the tank. But if it's your first day of c25k, you'll be fine with something light! Eating less than an hour before a workout makes me nauseous during the workout.

    You should definitely eat afterwards. You need to replenish your energy stores. It's important to make sure some of what you eat post-workout is carbs.

    If I have eaten a full meal, I wait about 1 to 1.5 hours to workout (depending on what I'm doing--cardio def wait 1.5 hours).  If you are just going to snack, a banana or cracker with pb are very good snacks for energy purposes. Make sure that you eat within one hour of finishing your workout!

    After! You will burn the meal instead of calories! Your after workout meal should contain protein to help increase the benefits from you workout! If you need to war breakfast first I agree a banana, light yogurt, or a scoop of peanut butter then wait about 30 minutes. Good luck on your journey! Keep us posted!
