Rough night

[Guest guest]

Wow! I'm sitting here feeling like a train hit me. I did very well

yesterday:

Breakfast: turkey omelet (made with 2 eggs)

Lunch: Chicken fajita meat with a little melted cheese

Dinner: Chicken breast, 1 cup cooked spinach, 1/2 cup green beans

and 2 SF chocolate candies for dessert.

Oh, but during the night I hit the floor with a muscle spasm running

down my inner right leg! I got up so quickly that apparently my

blood pressure hit the floor too. The room was spinning, my ears

were buzzing, and I was in agony. So here I was trying for a few

seconds to stretch out the cramp, then having to lay across the bed

to keep from passing out. Then back up to stretch and then back down

on the bed. Finally after a few minutes I was able to lay down and

after some deep breathing, the buzzing stopped. I was really scared

for a few minutes!

No sympathy from DH though. I told him this morning that the thought

of calling an ambulance had crossed my mind last night. He was

like, " you had a leg cramp and you got dizzy, get over it! " Oh

well. My leg is still sore this morning, but I've taken some extra

potassium. I also " cheated " a little on induction and had 2 small

pieces of LC bread with SF peanut butter a while ago. The BRIGHT

side to all this is I'm down a pound .

So I'm off to the gym to try to do some cardio and stretching. Have

a great day everyone! I'll check back in later.

cathy are you taking minerals?? this sounds like classic potassium

deficiency its no joke you could pass out doing exercise.. you need to take

minerals calcium pottasium and magnesium on this diet because of the

diuretic effect they wash out of your body
