I'm really upset and down in the dumps so my friend suggested we do a workout so I wouldn't just be sitting in my room on my own feeling crap. It was a really intense workout and I'm intending to keep it up in the future. I feel really sick now though, I actually thought I would vomit a few minutes ago! Is there anything I can do to prevent it happening again in the future? How soon after you eat a meal should you do a workout, for example?

I'm going to enjoy a cool shower in a few minutes, when (hopefully!) the sick feeling subsides!

Depends on the meal (heavy or light), but waiting two hours is okay.

You probably felt sick because you're either not used to exercise or the intensity was too great. A lot of athletes train to near vomiting. Ever been to a marathon, people vomit after the finish line!

Drink lots and lots of water. Don't let the vomit feeling put you off working out. You may have overdone it this eve. Exercise is good.

That generally just means you worked out more than your body was prepared for or used to, you see it a lot on the programs about morbidly obese people, they make them lift a few weights or jog a bit and next thing they're retching away in the corner. The more often you do exercise the more used to it your body gets and it won't happen any more.

Ah okay, glad to know I'm not slowing dying or anything :P Feeling pretty amazing now actually, it's great! I definitely need to drink a lot more water, I'm quite prone to dehydration generally so probably best to combat that now. Definitely going to keep it up and build up some fitness! I found the strength training a lot harder than the cardio, so I know what I need to work on.

I'm also very excited that I'll be learning how to swim really soon!

Something I've always wanted to do. Really glad I didn't just stay in my room and wallow all night

I have an odd thing that if I get up very early in the morning, like between 3 and 7am (you know when you'd be getting a flight or anything) I nearly always get a cough, and every time I cough I feel sick, and can get a bit gag-gy. Also happens on very cold mornings when I'm up before 9 (which is all winter!). Doesn't happen when I exercise.

Ikea meatballs for dinner. *drool*
I'm bored out of my skull right now. Might crack open the sketchbook and attempt to draw some pin-up girls. Inspiration is running low at the minute...

Saw a lovely quote in last night's Evening Herald horoscope (Aries):
"Cherish your visions for they are the children of your soul."
Lovely stuff. Might even consider getting that tattooed on me at some stage.

If I can just find a feckin' reliable studio!!

I still have one.

(CC - we're also getting a sack of them for our party

I know someone who can't get hiccups because they have a paralysed diaphragm. True story.

For some reason, everytime I come into close proximity of a glowstick I end up with half the contents splattered all over me. I went to a panto once in my youth and came home with a rake of the things. Being a destructive tyke, I ended up splattering the glow-juice all over the wall and whilst it did'nt look like much in the light of day due to the chemicals being largely transparent, by night it was GLORIOUS.
Imagine a galaxy of spackled stars and splotches of white glowing in the dark. It took a month before it stopped glowing.

I've had similar as well. I'm not great with lack of sleep and early mornings.

Scariest was a few weeks ago though. I was up early after having a rough night trying (and failing) to get to sleep. I got out of the shower and my vision started getting very blurry and I couldn't stand. I ended up sitting with my head in my hands against the bathroom door with my head in my hands trying to get myself together in just my towel! I think both my mum (who I had grabbed for help) and I were quite frightened!

Remember when glo sticks were used pretty much only by mariners?

Back in the mid-late 80s our cousins were down from Dublin. My brothers (14 and 15) and our guy cousins of the same age were hanging around town. They said a Swedish guy came up to them, and told them he had something cool to show them "in his boat". !!

They four went with him (!!) and boarded his boat (!!) He brought them down into the sleeping quarters (!!) and turned off the lights (!!)

The whole place was lit up in glosticks. Remember the ones that looked like tin whistles?

The lads came home with a couple of dozen of them each. Yer man gave them to them apparently for no reason. They said the Swedish dude didn't know the English word for them. So to this day everyone in my family calls them "Squerden Verdens"
