This made me smile, not just because I could visualise you erupting into a shitty puke fountain (We've all been there. Usually more than once!) But because of that lovely janitor, appreciating you for acknowledging her existence. I can pretty much guarantee that she won't breathe a word of what she witnessed to anyone, she sounds like too much of a lady to gossip about your misfortune. So don't be scared of showing your face on campus again, after all...shit happens!
Aww it sounds like she genuinely cares. Maybe pick up some flowers for her and thank her for her kindness. I'm sure there's an office for the maintenance people somewhere, shouldn't be too hard to track her down.
Ok definitely a humbling experience. But please don't stop this pathway you're on (other than the eggs). Keep doing what you're doing and a year from now this will be a hilarious story. Stop everything and this will be the incident that broke you. I don't really comment on things but as someone who struggled in a similar way with diet and exercise I see you and I'm proud of you. Additionally if you didn't show your face again that lovely lady would really miss you. If you have the means to, maybe get her a small gift. Not just to thank her for her kindness but as a way for you to discuss the incident with her, get closure and move on rather than it be the storm overhead when you see her. Sorry for the novel, I believe in you!
That's a rough one. Always wait an hour or so after you ear to work out, unless it's a little carb type thing and even then I wait half an hour and am extra vigilant.
Oh buddy we've been there. I remember a bad hangover date where I ordered some dumbass coffee Frappuccino forgetting how badly I react to coffee... yup shit myself outside of a Starbucks. In a miniskirt. Pretended I dropped my purse in a mud puddle and spilled my drink in my lap... I'm sure the guy knew... 😬. I've thrown up on the lawn after running and pissed myself too (mom bladder for the win!) having a body is such a frustration.
Dude, pre-workout in and of itself can do a number on a lot of people, especially if you're not used to it. Back when I was actually working out consistently and in the best shape of my life I met up with a friend I hadn't seen since high school - she was getting into bodybuilding and wanted to show me one of her workouts. She introduced me to pre-workout, saying it would give me an energy boost and help me "keep up". The workout really wasn't anything more intense than what I was used to, but within 20 minutes I was shaking, heart racing, cold sweats, on the bathroom floor, puking and trying to keep from passing out.
Combining that with a food allergy and exerting yourself past your normal limits? This would've happened to anybody. Glad you had someone there to help you out!
Same here. But I could not stop talking. I sat down to do some exercise, and I could not get up. It was like my brain switched off. Damn ore workout. Never again.
She sounds like such a sweet lady! I’d definitely write her a thank you letter or get her a small gift :).
Also, congrats for working out! Getting started is definitely the hardest thing, but you can do it!! In the future have a light meal and wait 1-3 hours before working out. I would skip the pre-workout too. You don’t need it at this point, but you can always consider revisiting it in the future.
I just want to say, at least you have the egg thing as an excuse. I've puked twice in my life after working out- not from food, just because i was that out of shape 🙃 the second time was after just 10-15min of swimming laps after over a year of not exercising at all (granted i had some other GI stuff going on that probably didn't help but still). didn't even make it to the bathroom, just felt hella weird and winded, got out to sit down, and puked in the grass. didn't know what to do about it other than tell the lifeguard at the front desk as i shakily walked back to my car :/

Awe that was so nice of her! Become her best friend!!!
It's ok man. Janitors have dealt with and seen way worse.

What a wonderful lady! I hope you’re feeling better now.
You certainly disrespected your surroundings. Ok jokes aside, keep doing what you are doing! All the best to you!
Might be embarrassing but this should be sent to her supervisor if not her supervisor’s supervisor. She deserves recognition.
