Well last night I felt like I was in dire need of a workout after swallowing a much needed shot of iron from a medium rare steak and once my stomach had settled, I threw on my work out gear.
I didn't really want to do it, but I knew I had to, I needed this food to work through my body faster as I was feeling so uncomfortable :( A few months ago I decided that I was going to cut down on my consumption of meat because it makes me feel sluggish and bloated after eating. The problem with this is that I am iron deficient and rather than pop a ton of iron tablets and other supplements, I try to use food to get my needs.
Yesterday however, I felt so dead and lifeless I felt a much needed steak was in order and an egg. Sure enough I felt better afterwards and then 30 minutes after that ugh...... uncomfortable....gluggy....blah!
So then I worked out and I felt fantastic! I pushed and pushed, jumped and lifted, twisted and crunched and 45 minutes later dripping in sweat I finally finished, dove into the shower and relaxed feeling so much better. This morning however, the thighs, the thighs are burning, my squat session has left my muscles rather tender. Last week aside from walking, I never lifted weights or did my calisthenics so today I am paying for it with pain, great pain, fantastic pain, but pain nonetheless.
So a lesson learned, find another iron source to consume and never, NEVER become lazy about lifting weights, just do it!
