not a very good day

Okey dokey, day 4 is not going very well.
We are having a blizzard today and about noonish we went out to shovel and it was the heaviest wettest snow! Thank god my sweetheart did most of it but I did plenty, as well. We are still getting way more snow and 50-60 mph winds so I am hoping he does the rest of the shoveling....and I wish we lived somewhere warm, dammit!
I suddenly got very dizzy and nauseous and headachey and it hasn't really passed and it's 5pm now.
I read the Ideal Protein info and some of my symptoms can happen in the 1st few days following the protocol. Headaches are common, especially for people who are insulin dependant or ate a very high carb diet before-I don't fit these criteria. Nausea is common with people who never eat breakfast or because of the sudden decrease in sugar intake-I fit the sugar decrease part( I miss fruit!) It doesn't say anything about dizziness....so I guess that's just me!
I haven't been using enough sea salt-less than they say so twice I did try the salt in a glass of water to help with the nausea that they recommend.
So, still feeling crappy and hoping at passes after dinner.
Today I tried the Blueberry Pomegranate drink from Ideal and YUCK, I do not recommend it! It smells yucky and tastes yucky and when you smell it as you drink it, the yucky smell is different than the yucky taste so yuckiness all around! Thank goodness I can return the other packet I bought! Won't be buying that one again!
So far that is the only bad tasting Ideal Protein food I have tried so I can't complain. Last night my 9pm snack was their pina colada drink which was pretty good but could have been made better w/ a shot of rum, but alas, I cannot imbibe!
I am down between 3-4 lbs so I am happy with my week so far. I look forward to my Monday weigh in to see where I am by then officially.
