Just when I thought that I was feeling strong..that I could bump up to the next level...my body decides to disagree. I went out last night and ate a really "rich" meal and I was regretting it during the movie after dinner...so maybe it was the after effects of that bloody steak or that fried appetizer or the heavy salad dressing that I usually don't eat. Maybe it was because I moved the elliptical up yet another level of resistance...maybe a combination of the two...I dunno...but I struggled with cardio today.
I kept feeling really sick to my stomach...like I was about to throw up at any minute. I usually just push through, but it was a real uphill battle this afternoon. I finally had to give in after 30 minutes...stop...do my upper body work...and then finish the other 15 minutes of cardio I wanted to do at a lower resistance.
I'm a little worried. My stomach is feeling kind of strained on one side. I thought I was being careful. I don't know what to do. I guess it's a good thing that tomorrow is Sunday...my rest day. I just want to be better...
