Morning Maniacs -

I didn't want to get out of bed again.....and now I'm not going to have time to do my much needed yoga. Off to do a Fitness Fix DVD (Functional Fitness) and if I have time a bit of cardio and then it's Clean X!!

Suz - Yes, I hear ya about suffering with the migraines. It is very hard to do that ...especially while at work, but frankly my husband could give a S4#t about that. He tells me to quit whining and live with it! He's not very sympathetic to pain or headaches. If he had them, he'd understand, right?
 
I'm back. I ended up doing Fitness Fix Beginners DVD, Balance/Warm Up/and 40 minute fix. I then added on 10 minutes of cardio from The Biggest Loser 2 with Bob Harper. Workout was an hour and 20 minutes and I burned 369 calories (most of which were probably just from a normal resting heart rate...as this DVD wasn't very strenuous). Also, workout shouldn't have taken that long...but figuring out what resistance band, etc...added time to it and I ran down and switched the laundry in between. (Did the leg weights without my boot on and the cardio on the floor with my boot on....and my foot hurts a bit....don't think it's healed yet).

This Fitness Fix DVD got really good reviews on VF, so I bought the Beg., Int and Adv cuz everyone said they were good.....but I think the beginners is a bit too easy for me. The warmup/balance segment felt like a total waste...but the other part worked a lot of postural muscles (which I need....so that wasn't a waste) and the core work was good. She does explain stuff a lot and I tend to hate that cuz it seems like a lot of wasted time standing around. I also wanted to do the foam roller massage segments...but ran out of time.

I also did Perfect in 10 Yoga - Relax and release segment 15" and RAvi & Ana's Delete Depression segment 15".

I'm off to eat my oatmeal and then I have to clean. Have great workouts.
 
Good Morning Maniacs!!!!!!!!

Good morning!

This morning I did CC#6. My HR was high. I donated blood yesterday. Could that be why? Then DH and I went and got donuts. Yup. Then we got in the hot tub and when we got out I got really dizzy, blacked out and crashed and burned, taking a lamp and a bunch of stuff with me when I hit the ground. Did I temporarily pass out or what? It was quick. Do you think it's b/c I gave blood and then did a hard workout today? I've been getting light headed a lot lately and things go black, but not to where I completely lose it like that. DH thinks it's my weight. By the way, the pounds I gained back have gone away again. Hmmm...

Hey Maniacs! Might not get a workout in today, as I have TONS of errands and cleaning and all that crap to do! DD is coming and son and DH are off work today...you know, way to many interruptions to plan a workout.

Suz- I have biffed it before too!!! I got up in the middle of the night and next thing I knew, I was face first in the carpet! I had rug rash from my chin to my forehead. I think my nose went clear into my brain. I looked like I had a fist fight with someone. Of course DS took a picture and sent it to DD and now about a year later, they still send it back and forth to each other for laughs. I bet it's the combo of low blood and the hot tub. Your blood is still trying to catch up and is running slow. The working out probably didn't help much. BE CAREFUL!

Gotta run... DS just brought burritos and fries!! YIKES!

Suz - that is scary girl. It very well could have been because you gave blood. Did you eat ok today? I know I get like that when I use to skip meals. Hope you are ok!
 
Dallys - That's funny! Gotta love your DH and kids. :)

I don't think it's my weight. I KNOW there are lots of people who weigh a lot less than I do who aren't dropping like flies. :) I'm 5' 8" and weigh 118. That's in the morning with no food and no clothes though. When I went to the doc the other day I weighed 120 that morning with no food and clothes and 122 after I'd eaten and was fully dressed at his office. According to the BMI chart for my height, as long as I stay above 118 I'm good. I just seem to go through periods of getting dizzy and then I won't get like that for a long time. Low blood sugar maybe? I did eat (darn it - here comes confession time again) a Whopper Jr. with nothing but ketchup and tomato on it last night - b/c my mom's in the hospital still and we were there late straight from work and that's where DH wanted to go and who am I to deny my husband? :p But I didn't have one single fry. This morning before my workout I had a Carnation Instant Breakfast with soy milk and then there were those TWO donuts after I worked out (gosh, my eating sounds really bad, doesn't it? - really, it's not that bad all the time - today is my cheat day since I took the day off with DH). I think that I got out of the hot tub too fast and had probably worked out too hard after giving blood yesterday maybe.

Diane Sue - I'll have to keep track of it and if it keeps happening I'll mention it to my neurologist. Maybe it's something to do with the Topamax.

Tonight we're going to the cycling club's award dinner at this place called Pizzeria Venti. We weren't going to go but my friend who I ride with in the mornings is the president and she called my DH and said they are giving me an award so would we please go. Now what on earth would I get an award for? Most excuses on why I have NEVER done any of the time trials or hill climbs with the group? Because that's what all of the awards are for. So we are going now and that means PIZZA! So by tomorrow my weight should be back up to 130!!! :p I'll probably only have a piece or maybe two.

Suz - I was gonna say I bet it's a combo of giving blood yesterday and possibly being in the hot tub and getting out....either the heat of the water affecting you or just standing up too quickly. I would keep an eye on it though and document when it happens (if it does again) so you can show your doctor and he/she can tell you if it could be caused by new meds or such?? Just my humble opinion. Take care of yourself.......wish I weighed what you weight and I'm an inch shorter than you and weigh more than you!! You make me feel like the tubba I am!
 
Lora - Yeah, that's my guess on what happened. And I think you have more muscle than I do. Remember I've been mostly cycling all summer. I'm just now starting to do more weights. My weight work was down to about twice a week - and that was like biceps and triceps - not total body or anything and that was NO leg work. Those pics in my picture trail in the red bathing suit were in June and about 7 pounds heavier. If I took pics now I think I'd just look skinny and not that toned at all. So I'm sure that my weight will increase as my weight work increases. So you can't really compare our weight. I'm muscleless. :p
