wednesday

I have no idea if this has anything to do with the diet or something else but yesterday I didn't feel myself-a little dizzy, a little headache.
I had a bunch of things to do in the morning: dye my hair-because purple isn't really my natural color even though I tell people it is :)-shower-clean the bathroom, especially the wall where your purple semi-permanent color splatted. Stretching up high, bending down low....then got up fast and walked into the closet and as I looked at the hangers I got very dizzy so I thought that I leaned back into the shelf behind me and reached to grab the bar in front of me to steady myself but the next thing I knew I hit the floor very hard! Effing concrete floors under the carpet! Oowww!
So, apparently I fainted momentarily and slammed the side of my face and head into the rough carpet and concrete, hurt my neck and my wrist. I was laying there thinking why does everything hurt and why am I sleeping on the floor in the closet doorway?
The rest of the day I still felt crappy and dizzy and sore and my head hurt and wahwahwah!
Today I am even more sore, can't turn my neck and have my wrist in a brace and a headache that radiates from where I impacted the stupid floor...wah!
My blood pressure was lower than normal but not terribly low: 110/70, so well within the normal range.
No idea what was up with that. I figure if it happens again, I'll go to the doctor, so don't worry.
The scale this morning shows the same loss as my official weigh-in from Monday.
I only had 2 protein packs yesterday. I felt so weird after fainting, I just wanted some salad and some tuna so never had the Ideal Protein soup or cappuccino drink at lunch-time. Ate a light normal dinner, had the protein pack snack of one of the cran-granata bars. I really like those-very satisfying.
Today I am eating the normal diet. I was kind of tired of soup so I got more cappuccino drinks this time. For lunch, I had a salad with some cukes, red cabbage, red onion, baby spinach and then one of the cappuccinos for dessert. A nice change of pace. I think my last week's experiment was ok having all the same protein pack foods because I didn't really do any cheating all week. By this week, I was bored with all the sameness, but might try that again because it made it easy.
I also took a 25 minute walk. I wore a pedometer and I did about 3600 steps so it makes me wonder how the heck I will ever get to the recommended 10,000 a day! Damn you, Dr. Oz! I want to listen to you. You're so sincere and so knowledgeable and pretty darn handsome, as well! I want to do what you tell me!
Thank God you lose weight with this plan, exercise or not, though, but I really want not only the help with weight loss you get from exercise, I want the health benefits. I want better sleep(I really need help in this department), more muscle mass, more bone mass, less chance of heart disease and cancer...and probably things that I am not thinking of right now that it's also good for! I want those, too!
