enough for a work out...

So, I know today I have not felt very well, and everytime I thought about food, it only made me that much more nauseous. BUT, Friday was the last day I went to the gym. I called in sick yesterday, and the age old "if you are too sick for school, you are too sick to leave the house" I felt applied, but today I am at work and have only eaten about half as many calories as I have since being put on this plan, and really want/need to get back into the gym. Is one day of less calories really going to hurt me when I do a full workout? Even sick at home yesterday, I forced myself to eat my daily 5 meals/protein, knowing I wasn't getting out to the gym. I'm hoping one day isn't going to hurt......

I don't think it will hurt you really but you might get dizzy. If I try to work out with out enough calories I get super dizzy and I have to sit down a lot. I've also noticed that I don't preform as well because I just don't have the energy.

Try eating something right before.

Thanks! I will keep that in mind. Eating at my desk (as much as I can force) just in case, so hopefully that doesn't happen. I might do another shake before, too. I'm hoping the work out will also help give me back my energy and will to eat some (healthy) calories afterwards, too. This feeling icky is not at all fun. :sick:
