in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Ever since I began lifting weights theres a good 2-4 hour period where im super spaced out and forgetful. For example i just made a tuna omlette....and forgot the tuna. Again. Yes its happened twice. In only 3 days LOL.

Im in no way worried im just curious is anyone else spaced out after a good workout? If so any thoughts on why it may happen? Im a curious person

    No. That's interesting.

    I can be spaced out during my workouts sometimes, but since I go at 4:30 a.m., I think that's to be expected.

    This happens to me in the morning after I wake up and before I have coffee.

    I do find it super interesting, I like to focus on my body and any data points around it. I make tuna omlettes commonly for years now lol. Its funny to me to suddenly start feeling spacy and forgetting things that should be routine to me. I go at 7-8am till about 930-10 i thought i woke up early at 6 hah

    2-4 hours seems too long for low blood sugar, in a healthy metabolisms shouldn't that self-correct in 15 min or less?

    I don't notice getting spaced out AFTER a workout...I do sometimes get pretty spaced out during the workout, but usually afterward I have salt/water and I'm back to normal by the time I'm done stretching/foam rolling.

    Maybe try a bit more hydration or a snack before working out? If the workout is intense oxygen can be an issue during, but that should clear up post-workout.

    I've absolutely done this- it's one of the reasons I make my coffee the night before. I've more than once put a filter in and water and just pushed "start".
    Womp womp.

    Sounds more like an attention deficit rather than memory. You might have lowered blood sugar but you might also have other issues with switching your attention and focus back after a workout. If it's bothering you just talk to your doctor but I'm pretty sure it's nothing serious.

    Yes, this happens to me. I think it’s an endorphin high and I really enjoy it
