Day 6: Last week, the Dietician had me start writing down everything I eat, when I eat it, and how I feel.  I'm continuing that for a few more days, and today I started the next step--wearing an armband all day, everyday, for the next week to see how many calories I burn throughout the day so that we can write a specific meal plan for me.  Luckily, we're doing this at the same time that my Nutrition class is doing it, so no one has to know that I have anything going on.  Brilliant!  It feels good to be taking steps to controlling these issues.

3 miles today down toward Wal-Mart and back.  Very windy!--8:28/mile.  I felt really good today! Very little dizziness, which is an awesome sign!  I was a little sore, though, and my back was hurting more than normal.  However, I'll take back issues over blood sugar problems any day!!

Extremely sick today.  Couldn't even get out of bed, let alone go for a run. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Still really sick.  I am extremely dizzy, have a huge headache, can't stop coughing, and have a really raw throat.  I'm so frustrated!  I was finally starting to feel like I could start going more than three miles, but I think I'm going to have to wait another week now.  As if my blood issues didn't already make me sick enough! :)

When I woke up, I was finally feeling better and felt like I had so much energy, but when I actually got out of bed and started walking around, I felt SO dizzy.  Since I was sick and didn't have much of an appetite, I didn't eat enough over the last two days, which obviously isn't good for my Hypoglycemia.  Instead of running as soon as I was ready, I ate some breakfast, then relaxed for a little while so the food would hit my system.  It helped with the dizziness, so I thought I'd be okay to go for a good run.

I was coughing from the start, and about half a mile into it, I had to stop completely to get through a coughing fit.  I tried to keep going, but was still coughing a ton, so I cut the run short.  I was so angry!  The weather was perfect and I had a free morning and running felt SO great that I wanted to do it forever!  Oh well, at least I got a little bit of a run in, it's better than being in bed all day again!  Two miles at 9:37/mile.
