I guess I am not workin' it hard enough. Last night I watched in disbelief as one contestant on the Biggest Loser vomited while running on the treadmill and kept right on going. I am a nurse, so I am used to people "giving it back" so to speak....but usually they stop, find a bucket or something, and give themselves a moment to get it all out.
I have NEVER worked out so hard that I felt like throwing up. Granted, I have gone on long walks, uphill hikes, and such, where I felt just spent afterwards. Shaky legs, weary to the bone. But I have not been pushed so hard that I can't keep my food down.
Honestly, I don't think I want to be pushed that hard. I want to do a reasonable amount of exercise, every day, to be healthy. I want to be able to maintain that amount of exercise every day for as long as I can move. I someday want to be one of "those" people who say that they LOVE exercise. (That day can't come too soon, as far as I am concerned.)
So I will be on the treadmill tonight. My nice clean, non-vomited-upon treadmill. And I will walk for my team....Team Angie! And I will walk for myself! Team Shrinking Sue! But Iwon't be spewing forth for Jillian. Not tonight.

Go Team Angie!!
ReplyDeleteLast night I kept thinking...I will never exercise that hard. I hate working out, so I will not push myself in order to puke on the treadmill while continueing to walk?! LOL
Looking forward to following your progress.
I was thinking the same thing while watching last night. I have even spent 8 hours solid rowing a boat and never puked. I think I read somewhere that puking from heavy exercise happens because of serious muscle shredding and it is something body builders try to achieve in a work out. I think I will pass !
ReplyDeleteGO TEAM ANGIE !!
My trainer used to push me really hard to point where I would get nauseous. I HATED it...probably why I stopped going. I told them when I started that if I didn't enjoy what I was doing there was no way I would stick to it and that went in one ear and out the other.
ReplyDeleteI'm making the rounds and say hi!

My trainer used to push me that hard - without all that awful yelling. I actually did throw up once, but made it to the washroom to do it. In an odd way - it made me proud.
ReplyDeleteThere's no puke on my treadmill either, and personally I don't feel bad about that!
