1. 16-19 GHGs Daily: 3/7 days. Boohiss. This goal stands for next week. MUST have at least 5 days.
2. 4 Runs + Wii Fit: Got in 3 runs. I think right now with my time constraints, this is all I can *REALLY* manage. We'll see how it goes this week with only 1 day of work.
3. DO NOT GO OVER WPA + AP. -> FAIL. BIIIIG FAIL.
4. 20 APs. Also a fail. I'm thinking maybe that for now, this goal is *too* high for my lifesytle.
Still don't know how I lost .8. I decided that after last week's DISASTER, I am going to post my daily menus, and then whether or not I adhered to them, on the following day.
The Challenge lies in this: I am moving in a week, and NEED to eat from the food supply I have in my house. Hopefully I can come up with some creative menus to get all of my GHGs in. This means probably eating more processed food, but I have virtually no budget, and don't want to have to pack up food to bring back to NY - or discard it!
Blood Sugar: I'm having what I'm GUESSING to be low blood sugar issues. It's really scary. I have no health benefits and cannot afford a local clinic (we don't have free care in my region). Today, after WI, I had a particularly scary episode. I always bring my iced coffee & a breakfast bar of some kind to WI. I WI, and then if I lose, I allow myself a SMALL non-food purchase as my reward.
I went into Ulta to look for a nail polish. While there, I began sweating profusely - I wasn't sure if I needed to pee, vomit, sit down, or poo. I felt faint. Thankfully, I was only 5 mins from home. I flew home, where my body had begun shaking. I guzzled approximately 2 tbs of honey from the container - which was difficult to hold in place due to the shaking. I ate another cereal bar, and had a few BIG glasses of water. The shaking subsided. The exhaustion has NOT gone away.
I ordered a large, thin crust, garden fresh pizza from Papa Johns & had 2 slices for lunch, along with 1 c of raw carrots. I'm hoping that the carbs in the pizza will help me through the rest of the day.
I'm REALLY upset about working these carbs back IN to my diet, after only having 1 Whole Grain carb 1 meal/day for WEEKS. Carbs are a HUGE trigger for me. But for now, while I can't afford to see a doctor, I need to work carbs back into each meal. :-( Hopefully when I get back to NY in a week, I can work out a payment plan and someone to take me for blood work - but in the meantime will use one of my mom's sugar testing machines/kits.
I'm very scared, considering I have a 5K next weekend. Considering picking up some GU energy gels for the race - so that I can grab some quick carbs/sugar if I start to feel woozy on the course. Hoping it's a cool morning.
*I have previous experience with GU from training for a Marathon in 2008. They are for long-distance running (usually). I love the Chocolate Outrage - tastes like chocolate icing, as well as the Vanilla Bean. They USED to carry a yummy raspberry as well.
