Eating Bad Then Workingout

I am scheduled to go to the gym after work this evening. However, I am almost through eating a bag of potatochips (not a generously sized bag - this one is about 4oz of chips or 600 calories) by myself. Will working out be silly now? Should I stay home and watch TV/Drink and work out next week?

Halp!

If you usually work out at the same time I would say "go". A lot of it is maintaining a schedule and sticking to it.

Give in to the mediocrity of the pot-belly.

This has been my reality all week. Eating like s*** and working all night.

My solution is to drink a huge, strong coffee. You'll be so hyped out that the potato chips don't matter.

a few years back I headed out for a long training run in a local park, roughly 12 or so miles, and it was Sunday, and I was hungry. Stopped by Jack in the Box and got something greasy in a bag. Ate it, whatever it was, figuring that it would all burn off in a few miles and all would be well.

Yeah. about that.

My stomach cramped for the first five miles. I mean, I never wanted to quit so badly in my life. It was like I pulled my stomach or something. After the fifth mile things settled down a bit but I never got comfortable and since then I look at pre-run meals with a new level of suspicion.

Now, before those days I had a friend who lived on potato chips and orange juice. Seemed healthy enough but he lost his hair young so ever since then both of those have been stricktly verboten.

Suck it up man, that's what I do. One time I pigged out on 6 or 7 slices of pizza and did my routine a couple hours later. It was rough, but I'm only 20 haha.

It would be stupid NOT to work out. Squeeze some energy out of those chips and hit the weights.

I find I work out better when I eat like shit. I usually have more energy and I just want to work harder. My advice is to go work out. Stick with your routine regardless of what you eat.

Whoa nellie. How in the hell does a person do that? Dinner (right now) is a bowl of salad and a bottle of cider. Maybe a cookie if I feel like it later.
