Tuesday 12/30 at the Gym

Just wanted to open the gym for Tuesday before I went to bed.  My youngest daughter wants to get up early and work out.  I will go with her, and do some weights, then to the walking group for a 2.5 mile walk in 35 minutes.  Then more cleaning/rearranging at my home.  That is the plan, and I'll post tomorrow what I actually get done!

How did you move to lose and maintain on Tuesday? 

 I did 25  minutes on the elliptical on a hill program and did just ok.  then I switched and did shoulders and biceps for 15 minutes.  My stomach wasn't happy this morning and I sat outside in the car for about 10 minutes debating on working out. 

I felt fine during the workout, but in the shower, I felt this fuzziness come over me and caught myself falling into the shower wall.  I guess I  blacked out for a few seconds.  I've got a call into my PCP.  He's got no appointments available today, but I left a message for him to call me.  I checked my BP and it was 114/106 and heart rate was 69.  The bottom number is a little high but I had just finished working out.  We'll see.  Say a prayer for me.

 I will pray for you.  Let me know what happens!  I am wondering if your blood sugar went too low.  

I called my surgeon's office and they said since I was more than 1 year out I needed to contact my pcp.  They she started asking me about what happened and urged me to go to urgent care clinic.  Talked with my PCP nurse and she said the same thing. 

So...I went to urgent care clinic and they wouldn't see me but wanted me to go to the Emergency Room.  Well, needless to say, I didn't go to the emergency room.  I checked my BP and it was 114/74 and pulse was 72.

I do have a headache, but I took some tylenol. 

I didn't think about the blood sugar, but I had eaten fiber one cereal with 1/2 banana so that shouldn't have been the problem

Are you staying hydrated? I can get dizzy if I'm dehydrated?

Yeah, Patty, I'm thinking that's the culprit.  I know I've not been drinking enough through the Christmas holiday.  I was back on track yesterday but I think it caught up with me.  i have a doc appt on Monday.
