I'm So Dizzy (In Many Ways)

Yesterday I made lunch for myself and a couple co-workers. I might not have ate enough as I'm watching the fill and taking it easy. Ate around 11:30 and didn't eat again before going to the gym at 5.

 

Got on the elliptical and started kicking it up. I am off my bp medications and I can get my heart rate into target with a little effort, so I was working pretty hard. About 30 minutes into a 45 minute workout I got really hot, sweaty and a little dizzy. My stomach was GROWLING. Loud. I stopped, took several sips of water, and kept going.

 

I got off at 45 and I was downright dizzy. I sat in a chair along the wall for about 20 minutes before I was able to get up and walk to the car. Then I waited about an hour to meet a friend for dinner. Headache, dizzy, not good.

 

I need to pack more snacks and protein, and try to eat more at a single setting. I'm pretty sure I had a cup of food at lunch, but working out on an empty stomch didn't go well. Iget all my protein in for the day, so I am missing something somewhere.

 

I was still a little lightheaded this morning, and skipped the gym. Brought some fruit, tuna snacks and deli turkey to work. If I'm going to work out I am going to have to eat more than 1000 calories a day for sure.

 

If anybody has any suggestions, please let me know. I did not like this feeling.

 

And the kicker? After the fill Monday and fun Tuesday? I have what feels to be less restriction now (at 5.5ccs) than before the fill (at 4.0 ccs). And next fill can't be until 8/6. Ish.

 

:rolleyes:

My suggestion would be ramp up your protein in food and in your protein shakes. And yes carry around with you healty snacks druning your day. This will help some. All the best to you.

Are you drinking enough water? Sometimes if one is dehydrated they often get really dizzy and weak? Make sure to drink plenty of water Keep up the good work

I'm a little lacking on the water front, thank you for the suggestion, and support!

I'm still out of it today. I've been taking it a lot easier :-).

It's all about the water I have it in my hand 24 7. But NOT while eating. Stay hydrated. That has happened to me too. Best wishes imaluckydog

I eat a Greek yogurt 30 min before I run, it gives me enough carbs for energy plus protein and only has 140 calories. Good luck.
