I threw up.
After the WARM UP.
But you know what? I wiped off my mouth, grabbed a swig of water, and got back to it. I went right back into the workout like nothing happened.
I was MORTIFIED, but atleast I made it to the bathroom.
Let me start over.
I woke at 5:10 for my 6 AM class, already dressed in workout clothes, sports bra,socks and pants, only needing to put on my shoes. I ate a small apple and a cheese stick, and grabbed my water bottle.
I was ready by 5:25.
My friend N picked me up and while I was awake and ready for the class, she was CRABBY and I found out she is NOT a morning person. 
We arrived to the class without incident, and after riding the elevator to the 39th floor, we walked the final 2 floors up (no elevator access to the gym).
We threw our things in the cubbies, and headed out to the floor to stretch.
I really haven’t stretched in ages, so it felt good to feel the pull at my hammies.
Anyway, the instructor apologized for not doing out body assessments today, her printer was on the fritz.
So we went right into a full 50 minutes workout.
You already know what happened 5 minutes in.
I used my inhaler 2 times during class, this exercise-induced asthma crap is really kicking my butt. I hate that I have a hard time getting a full breath. I hope it will get better as I lose some weight (though from past experiences, I know it probably won’t. I will be optimistic though). I will call the doctor this week and get an appointment to check out my lung functions.
Anyway, after 50 minutes of getting my but kicked, I apologized to the instructor for leaving class to throw up, and asked if she had any hints for next time regarding NOT throwing up. She asked what I ate before class, and said I would really have to test what my body would be able to handle before a workout- maybe nothing, maybe just a hard boiled egg white. I think the apple was WAAAAY to hard on my poor tummy. When I got home, I had a kiwi fruit, and a strawberry banana protein smoothie. MMMMMMM. I think i will have leftover chicken and rice for lunch. Not sure what I will make for dinner*.
Tomorrow is Bootcamp day 2( I will be going 3 days a week). I think I am going to ask miz fit what she eats before an early morning workout and go from there.What do you eat before working out?? After??
Even though it was not my finest morning, I am so excited to be doing this bootcamp again. It gets me up, dressed and out the door early so I can start my day.
*I was one of the crazy ladies out at 4 AM on Black Friday and was able to score a 5.5 qt Crock pot for cheap at Target. I have used it 3 times and I am in love. If you have any goodhealthy crock pot recipes, please share!!

I am so impressed that you got right back at it after throwing up!
I usually don’t eat before I workout in the am, but I can also eat lunch and then go right to the gym.

Hi AJ,
Hey, you stuck it out – that’s impressive right there! I don’t think I could throw up and then continue to workout, so what you did is awesome!
If I’m doing cardio in the morning, I usually don’t eat before I go out. If I’m weight training, I’ll have maybe a banana and a protein powder/gatorade/water mixture. That also doubles as my post workout drink too.
Getting out there and doing this, especially at a really early hour, is so good to see – woohoo!!

Thanks lady! I am going to try no food tomorrow and see how I do– update at 7ish tomorrow morning!
Hey Lance- thanks for the comment. I have chocolate protein powder that I am excited to make into a shake for after tomorrow morning.
Wonder if it would be good with milk and a banana….? I think your powder/gatorade/water mix sounds good too!
