He was totally cool and made sure I wasn’t too hard on myself. I am one of those people that over does it which leads to extra sore muscles for days and in turn keeps from wanting to exercise again. Not a good combination. I am sore but it is a good feeling. Like I said a while back, I am not a fan of traditional exercise but it helps to have a pal to workout with.
The big mistake of the night was that I had dinner before we worked out. Everything seemed okay but after we were done but stomach started feeling funny. I checked my BG and was at 160. A little high but I had eaten earlier. I did a ketone check which came up negative. I drank another bottle of water and that was it. I ran to the bathroom and (I’ll use my favorite word for this) “launched.”
I was a new man. And I just gained like 10 Weight Watcher points! SWEET
Note to self: EAT DINNER AFTER EXERCISE
What do you guys do when you work out in the evenings?

I have always been an "eat, then exercise" kind of guy. After your body acclimates to it, it gets easier. You also burn calories more efficiently. I just got my pump, we'll see how this translates with my new bionics.
Slimmons? *eye roll*
I exercise 'right after' work. I have a small snack at 4ish - like a snakc bag of those Ritz peanut butter crackers. Workout about 5:30 or 6 and have dinner after at about 7.
It makes for a late night but I can't imagine working out on a full stomach or feeling motivated to leave my apartment after I am home.
maybe I need a home gym?!
Barfing aside. I can't help but wonder if you were Sweating to the Oldies?
Well, what I do is neither here nor there since I don't have diabetes, but I workout before I eat dinner. If I'm really hungry, I'll have a light snack beforehand so I'm not so distracted by hunger during my workout.
Congrats on a great workout Richard Slimmons!
OMG, I just saw Jillian's comment. I guess we commented at the same time.
Great minds think alike, LOL.
Shawn-Maybe my body was just not ready for it.
Sara-My budy called me George Slimmons a while back it made me laugh. I forgot, you met Clay! :)
Jillian-Although I did "deal a meal" for a while i was not a STTO watchers. ;)
Shannon-what is weird is I wear dove short when I work out so maybe we are related! :P
it's a quandary. a lot of times i have a snack and then eat dinner really late (like 9 or 10), after i work out. but i generally have a weird schedule.
successful days usually involve me having a snack while still at work or on the way home. that way, it doesn't turn into all-out snackfest that is the size of dinner and defeats the whole purpose of not eating dinner yet, which is what tends to happen if i sit down at home while hungry.
Dude, I laughed out loud when you talked about gaining back WW points!
I was going to say "Dude, I LOL'd when you...", but it just didn't seem right. Damn IM language.
