So I have been having this problem with my arm after I swim. It hurts. If I give it few days after it starts hurting really bad, it will stop, but sometimes it wakes me in my sleep, just throbbing. Everyone has a suggestion, even the doctors, but no one has come up with a solution.
So I let it rest and then it feels fine and I go and swim a couple of days and it hurts again. So while I was swimming it was hurting, so I stopped using my arms and did the rest of the workout kicking. I am not much of a kicker, so it took much longer, and I didn't do the whole workout because of the time constraints. We had to get to Kaiser for blood work and to GV.
But I was tired when I got out, grumpy and very hungry, yes I was hungry. I felt like my stomach was eating itself. A very unpleasant feeling. I did eat before I swam (had a bar) and I had something after (a shake) plus while I swam I followed Dr. C advise and had Water Zero or something along those lines (like Gatorade but without the calories) and that did help with the cramping, but not the hunger.
So when we ended up in GV it was the first time that I can remember on this diet that I was still starving. I was hungry. It hurt. I drank a shake, but that didn't help. But I didn't want to eat all my food at once or I wouldn't have anything for the evening, so I suffered. I just wanted the pain to go away, so I watched the food channel. I watched this guy being challenged to heat five pounds of hot dog and five pounds of chili and two pounds of french fries in 20 minutes. And as I watched I thought boy am I glad I am hungry, he must be feeling really really sick about now. I remember what it felt like to eat too much. I remember feeling the nauseousness, the heartburn, the belly ache, the general feeling that you just can't get comfortable, and I became okay with my hunger for a few minutes.
But then the light headiness started. I would get up and feel like I was going to black out. I knew that I didn't have enough food, but I couldn't eat yet. I don't like being this hungry, I don't like it at all. TH told me to eat an extra product, but I am trying to follow it for the best results so I don't have to keep losing weight after the 30 weeks.
So when I got my test results back it all became clear. My blood sugar was really low. Well below the norm, so hopefully today it is back to normal.

EAT AN EXTRA PRODUCT DOOFUS!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you can't work out as hard as you do on a starvation diet. Should we watch the old movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai", so something similar?
Cramping hurts!
I don't know how to check your blood sugar without going back to Kaiser, so we'll have to check & see how you feel.
Tabitha, the Grass Valley cat, is eating enough for 3 folks, so at least someone is eating.
Ted went to Chico this AM (Saturday, 4/21/12) to pick up 50 pounds of wild boar & swiss cheese sausage - we now have a freezer full of sausage! Yum - the sausage is courtesy of Ted & Chico Meat Locker - also thanks to the Dye Creek Nature Preserve that is happy with one fewer boar/pig.
