Health & Fitness - Awakening

Ok! So today was a weird day for me. I threw everything to the back burner to await my return tomorrow. At the same time, I felt the need to be doing something. It was as if I could not allow myself to rest and enjoy. My mind and body wanted to move and do things. I guess this mindset is what has been keeping me going for the past 65+ days. Go, go, go! Don't stop!

Well, something happened today that was quite a bit of an awakening. I had just finished my Power 90 3-4 Sculpt routine and jumped straight into Ab Ripper 200 without hesitation. I could feel myself beginning to feel a bit light headed, but thought nothing of it. I continued through my Ab Ripper 200 without any problems. As I stood up to do my side bends, after I finished my Ab Ripper 200 routine, I felt weak. I felt as if I had been without any sort of liquid or food for ages. I turned on the fan thinking it was just too hot, but that did not help at all. I dropped the weights and went to mix my Shakeology. The smell of the powder overwhelmed me and I could feel my insides beginning to heave. Oh My Gosh! I collapsed onto the kitchen sink and could feel the ever so unpleasant feeling of myself throwing up. EWWW! What the F*&k was going on with me?

Well, I figured it out. Apparently, I am not eating as much as I thought I was. I still am about 400 calories short and with all the rigourous activity that I have been doing, my body could not handle the amount of activity that I have been putting myself through. Lesson: Be sure you are eating enough!

This brought back a HUGE flashback of my last Power 90 attempt. It was almost exactly at this point that I had been having dizzy spells and ended up having a low sugar count.

So, I'm going to be seriously reviewing and calculating my caloric intake to ensure I am eating enough. I definately want to make it through my 90 days and with this adjustment, all should be good.
