There is no shame whatsoever to admit that I am embarrassed being me sometimes. Most of the time.<\/p>\n
I should start by saying that my eating habits have taken a turn for the worse – I’ve been working from home and eating the junk that’s lying about the house.<\/p>\n
So when Clif and I attended a trial session at a Gymnastic Strength Training class today that’s affiliated to my Pilates studio and next door\u00a0to where I usually do my sweating, you can imagine that I had no idea what was in store for my empty stomach.<\/p>\n
10 minutes into the training I was done. My throat was dry and I was getting nauseous. The instructors checked in with me to see if I was okay and I\u00a0excused myself to get some water.<\/p>\n
You should know that\u00a0I didn’t make it back.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Instead, I got my ass\u00a0on the floor\u00a0next to the water dispenser\u00a0in the changing area – because who cares about standing up when you’re feeling like death? I discovered soon that I could not feel my legs, and so I\u00a0dragged my body across the floor to the bench nearby and began to get a throbbing headache.<\/p>\n
In the end, I managed to tear up in front of my usual Pilates instructors and the Gym instructors there when they asked if I was okay. I mean, dude I cry watching Lion King (Spoiler Alert: Mufasa dies).<\/p>\n
It’s not like I was sad or disappointed – it’s completely logical that it was too intense for my physical level –\u00a0But the instructors felt like they had to justify that it wasn’t that I was weak or anything, the class had more men (I was the only female)\u00a0and they are\u00a0usually more physically fit so you know…<\/p>\n
…which only made me feel bad for the poor instructor looking at this teary eyed girl and I explained\u00a0to him\u00a0that I completely understood that I was way in over my head when I signed up for the trial session and “I’d much rather stick to Pilates thanks very much lol”.<\/p>\n
So…proper food? Pretty important to get some\u00a0before\u00a0you’re working out. I guess I had to learn that the hard way like how I learnt never to skip antibiotic doses. I’m only experimenting, right?!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
