I did my yoga late last night, after dinner and right before I went to bed. The reason I mention that is because after an hour and half yoga, I opt not to eat anything since I was going to bed, even I felt a little hungery - bad idea.
As I got up early this morning to get today's workout done, I was fasting for about 11 hours, and I did an hour and half yoga during that time. My energy was depleted. It was hard to push myself to workout hard. Matter of fact, it was hard to just keep up. Towards the end, I was about to threw up. So here is what I learned: before going to bed at night, eat a banana, or a spinach ice cream with protein or something. At night, when we are asleep, our body will go for those for energy to run through the night, otherwise, it will go to the reserves, or your muscles for energy. You actually is risking of your body breaking down your muscles if you don't have some protein or complexed carb in you before you go to bed.
The next bad thing I did today was that I went to the shop, while I was there, I was so busy, I didn't eat anything till almost 3p, that's 6 hours in between the meals, not good. This actually made me realize how hard it is for those who work and go through the program, and if any of you are doing it, I really admire you.
