Guest guest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Darcy, When you workout for 2 weeks straight without a rest do you find that fatigue starts to set in or you just start feeling overall badly? I journal all my food intake and noticed how high my carbs have been so I've been trying to lower them a bit and up my protein so that might contribute to why I'm feeling bad also. ~*~ ~*~Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 That could be it (the carb thing). I find I need lots of carbs, if I don't have enough I actually get hungrier (for example, if I just eat protein and a non-starchy veggie, I find myself hungry in an hour - but if i add a grain product I'm good for a longer time) and I also feel weak. That may be it - plus you really work yourself HARD Thanks Donna! I've cut back only about 70 or so carbs since Monday and increased my protein by about 40g. I'm not sure if that can have any affect or not. For me, I've noticed just in these 3 days of adding that extra protein that I'm less hungry. I'm usually starving all through the day, but really haven't been. In fact, I've been trying to up my calories while going up in the protein as well, and I find that I can't even get in all the food I plan to eat. This is just something I'm doing a little test on myself. I just want to see how it ends up. Thanks for your advice. It is well taken. ~*~ ~*~Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi ,No, I feel completely fine when working out for that long straight. I've never noticed being rundown from it. I do vary my workouts a bit. I mean 80% of my workouts are very hard. But I do throw some lighter days in there as well. My motivation stays up and I do so much better w/out taking too many rest days. I have a hard time getting back into it after a rest day. I'm getting better though.....

That upper body workout probably broke down those muscle fibers but good and they need to recover to re-generate and grow stronger~ Donna Subject: Re: Last three daysTo: exercisevideos Date: Wednesday, June 11, 2008, 11:00 AM Darcy, When you workout for 2 weeks straight without a rest do you find that fatigue starts to set in or you just start feeling overall badly?
