    LOL! Silly...

    I've also heard that either a protein shake or chocolate milk after a workout is good for recovery. Plus, not sure if this is true but, I read that consuming a combination of good carbs & protein within 20-30 minutes of your workout helps keep your metabolism cranked up. Who knows...

    Maybe you didn't drink enough water or were already dehydrated? That might've made you feel woozy.

    Any chance you went under calories yesterday? Sometimes when my "fuel tank" is on "E", even eating a good breakfast of carbs and protein won't be enough to keep me going for long and I have that same overworked feeling after going to the gym. Thankfully it's lunchtime when I get back so I can fuel up right away.

    If I'm doing an intense cardio workout then I have to make sure to have enough carbs in the previous meal/snack. If I just have my egg white and reduced fat cheese scramble for breakfast, I will hit the wall hard after doing an hour of cardio. I find adding in a serving of oatmeal, a slice of whole grain toast, or a large apple makes a huge difference.

    LOL. As a non-native english speaker, I had to say I learned something today.

    Drink a Protein shake INSTEAD of those OREOS!! my favorite Protein shake is Premier Protein. You will have to try it both before and after a work out to see when your body needs the protein for recovery. I need mine after a hard work out...some people need it to fuel their workout and feel more energized after the work out. I always feel drained after a hard cardio though...

    Good luck!

    Carbs before, protein after.

    It'll get better if you keep it up...I promise.

    Yup...couldnt agree with her more!!! It really will get much better! I definately eat carbs before a good workout and plenty of protein after I am done at the next meal with at least 12 8oz cups of water a day!! Stick with it! You're doing great!! :flowerforyou:
