For the past couple of days I've eaten a full (190g) pack of wine gums before my workout at the gym. Yes, I know this is shocking. My only defence is that it's that time of the month and my body does crazy for sugar. Anyhoo - on these days my workouts were much better than usual, I felt I had much more energy, could go for longer, etc. I'm well aware this is probably simply attributable to the tons of sugar I'd ingested but still....it felt good.
On these days though, I haven't had my usual large bar of chocolate in the evening. This is a staple of my life and all I have to look forward to (violins please) so it's rather strange that I've been able to avoid it. Clearly it's because of the wine gums. So calorie wise, everything is still in synch.
So, my AIBU is this: Am I BU to ingest something sugary before my workout in future, where it at least contributes to a vigorous workout or have less groovy workouts then come home and eat the usual 100g bar of chocolate?
Honestly, in my head it all makes sense....
