One of the goals I set out for myself was learning to buy better products and be smarter about grocery shopping. Monday night Hubby and I went shopping to restock our pantry with healthier options. I think we did pretty well I have to say. I'd always heard you should shop the perimeter of the store and that held pretty much true. We picked up lots of veggie & fruits, chicken breasts, multi grain tortillas, hummus, and skinny cow caramel truffle bars (for a treat!). We planned out different dinners and what we would take for lunches. I basically know what I should and should not be eating. It's just putting it in practice that gets hard.
So I was ready for Tuesday! Light yogurt and a turkey/spinach wrap for breakfast, carrots and hummus for snack, veggie sub from Subway for lunch, fruit salad for afternoon snack, grilled pork chop, veggies and a small sweet potato for dinner. I was feeling great! Not even hungry. I had decided to take it one day at a time and not get discouraged by the daunting task in front of me. I crawled into bed with Hubs and could not get warm. Like freezing, shaking, teeth chattering cold. I put on two pairs of socks, warm sweatpants, tshirt and sweatshirt, crawled under three blankets and put a heating pad on my feet. Bunny (my nickname for my husband) is like a hotbox and was snuggling me and I STILL could not get warm. Eventually I dozed off and after about 1/2 hour I woke up in cold sweats, heavy breathing, bad nausea with it all culminating in that scary familiar feeling that I am going to pass out. Do you know the one? Your lips are tingly, hands shaking, tunnel vision and hearing fades away. Oh yeah. I had all that. I laid down on the floor and starting pulling off extra clothes as I was burning up now. When this has happened before it's been my blood sugar so I asked Bunny to get me some juice or a cookie -(D'Oh! Just got rid of all that!) so he mixed a bit of real sugar into crystal light and brought it to me as well as some Teddy Grahams I didn't even know we had. I ate a couple, sipped the juice and it eventually helped.
Now today I've been nauseous all day and exhausted. I keep getting light headed and decided to try another pregnancy test. Big Fat Negative! I knew it would be but I had to check. So now I'm trying to find a new family doctor - tried calling two referrals from friends and both Drs were not accepting new patients. *Sigh* I hate dealing with doctors anyway. Being obese - it's got to be one of the most nerve-wracking and embarrasing situations for me. But I know something is going on with me and I need to get it checked. Bunny has an appt with a new family dr tonight. Maybe I'll see what he thought of him and give him a shot. I would prefer a female but I hate just picking someone out of the google pages. (Oh, remember when it used to be "picking someone out of the yellow pages?")
Anyways, I'm still committed to my goals. Today's been easy seeing as how I couldn't even get down a half of a yogurt...
