Week Two - Day One - 284.4 - Cornius Interruptus

Okay - there's a lot to get to today - let's start with weight.

I'm DOWN everything I gained last week - PLUS .2 pounds. This is a great place to be going into my Boston trip. And knowing I'll be able to keep up my exercise while I'm there, and knowing I'm not going to splurge with food (except for maybe one nicer dinner) will really help keep me on track to finish the month strong!

Speaking of food...and exercise.

Today I learned a VERY valuable lesson. We must be careful what we eat the night BEFORE we exercise.

Now I'd known this already. I'd planned out a good lean protein dinner with a good simple carb for the nights before the race - and generally do just fine exercising.

BUT....

Yesterday we had two things together that made for problems this morning. Around 3pm we had a snack while out in the heat. We stopped at TCBY, our new snack stop for some yogurt. Generally dairy messes with me a little...but I can cope.

And with dinner? Yup...you guessed it. 

CORN.

And this morning, while starting my exercise, I encountered what I will term "Cornius Interruptus". Without grossing people out, let's just say that about a half mile out into my workout, my stomach spoke up and said "GO HOME. FAST."

So I did.

And we chalk today up to a learning experience and keep moving onward.

Today's lesson, children? Corn plus dairy = BAD COMBO FOR EXERCISING.

MAIN STREET AWAITS!
