Yesterday, I overdosed on chocolate M&Ms.

I love M&Ms.

Especially the peanut butter ones. But I’ll settle for chocolate, almonds, minis, crunchy, pretzels, dark chocolate, and coconut. They are all delicious. (Note: I do not like peanut M&Ms.)

After letting the M&Ms settle, I decided to hit the gym.

Talk about the WORST idea ever.

I ran a mile in 9:40, then hit the elliptical for 30 minutes. During the elliptical, I started getting woozy. I felt like puking. I could feel the sugar rushing to my head, not in a energetic way but in a debilitating manner.

You’re a genius, Jess. M&Ms are NOT running fuel.

I couldn’t call it quits though. I had to make the most out of my expiring gym membership.

I decided to push myself into sprinting. I did 2x400m sprints, both under 2 minutes, but then I really started to feel it. My stomach muscles were cramping up. My legs wanted to give in. My head was throbbing.

And I couldn’t stop burping. (No, not the loud, obnoxious kind.) All I wanted to do was hurl.

Stretching didn’t help. Kneeling over the toilet didn’t help. I only felt a bit better after I drank a liter of water. Maybe that helped dilute all the processed sugar floating around in my blood stream.

Lesson learned.

Too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing.

 
If you drink too much water…

…you can get hyponatremia and become water intoxicated.

 
If you take a bubble bath for too long…
…you become wrinkly and your fingers turn pruny.

 
If you eat too much fiber…
…your stomach starts hating you because you’ll be visiting the bathroom. A lot.

 
If you run too much…
…you might become injured, get tendonitis, or have a stress fracture.

 
If you exercise and train too often…
…you won’t have time for the other things in life.

 
If you have too many bananas in one day…
…you’ll have problems going number two.

 
If you consume too many beans…
…you become very gassy and you start farting way too often.

 
If you scuba dive too many times in one day…
…you’ll get nitrogen poisoning and suffer from decompression sickness.

 
If you eat too much pineapple in one sitting…
…the roof of your mouth will feel like it got stripped down by sandpaper.

 
Note to self: M&Ms are not fuel. Do not treat them as such.

 

What have you eaten that has made you feel like crap?

What is the worst food to eat before you exercise?

What have you done too much of that it ended up becoming a detrimental thing?
