Day 9

Everything was going great today. I had a super walk this morning although it was about 9 degrees F! Then a good day at "the office"; a very strong workout ... then boom! I felt like crap. I think two things contributed to this:

1. I let myself get dehydrated
2. Too much time between shakes

After the workout I slammed down the post-training shake and ran out the door for some errands. After an hour or so I started feeling horrible and then realized I was very thirsty and hungry. I started drinking water but was not able to get a protein shake for another hour or so.

Anyway, I felt much better after a liter of water and my last shake of the day. I am certain that this could have been avoided. Lesson learned.

I have been using probiotic caps along with chewable fiber tablets. The fiber in this brand of tablet, inulin, works synergistically with probiotic beasties as they thrive on it.

I gratuitously included my iron supplement in the background :-).
