[QUOTE="Bebo321, post: 509594, member: 68730"] GlazedDoughnuts, if there was a prize for enthusiasm, you would win it! Okay, first things first - you had a Hypo. Sorry to hear that. Remember with increased activity your insulin sensitivity will ramp up, and make you more susceptible to hypos. I don't know your meds/dosing, but you may want to consider making some adjustments to better reflect your increased activity. If you are unsure what adjustments to make, you may want to seek advice from a healthcare professional. You mention being a little out of sorts? - that's actually fairly normal when you lower your carb intake. If you're feeling a bit sluggish, just imagine your head on Daniel Craig's body and stay positive! I think the idea to do a morning workout is an excellent idea - by working out in the morning, your insulin sensitivity will be sparked up for the rest of the day. What you will have to do however is to give your body what it needs after your workout in order to let it fully re-charge ready for anything else later on in the day. That means drinking a carb and protein loaded concoction soon after you finish. Ideally drink a sports drink/shake designed with that in mind, as it will have other essentials in there to ensure you recover quickly. Remember the carbs you take on board straight after exercise go directlyinto re-stocking your muscles and liver, unlike any other time of day (if you haven't been active) when carbs may be carted off to your fat stores. It would be sensible to check your BGs a little more frequently whilst you are doing such an intensive program of training. No point looking like an adonis if you have to do yourself damage in getting there! Also, you haven't mentioned taking days off? Remember to have at least one day of complete rest a week to allow yourself to recover properly. Have fun and stay safe! [/QUOTE]
