Ok, so something scary happened to me last night. ... I fainted! Never have I blacked out in my life!! I'm pretty positive it was either low boos sugar, low potassium, or dehydration...or all of the above.
My day was crazy stressful yesterday...I had 8 ounces of water at 9, had a scrambled egg with some chicken at 11, drank about 10 oz of water between 12-2, then ate half of a organic chicken burrito (only the filling) at 3, then ate the other filling half at 6. Got on the treadmill at 6:30...had a few sips of water...jumped in the shower at 8...and fainted!
So what do u all think? When i finished working out i felt really hungry but wanted to shower first. While I was in the shower my stomach got really sore, felt like I was gonna throw up, then the room started spinning! Next thing I know I was waking up on the bathroom floor.
I went to the ER where they drew blood and did an ekg. Everything came back fine.

Be sure to drink enough water! Especially exercising and because it's warm outside too. Take care of yourself!!!!
I don know you have to drink more than that, hon!! ...and when you are hungry, eat!!

IF you can try to get 32 ounces of your water in my 12noon or 2pm...that would get you half way there.
Try that, or do one 8 oz. glass every 2-3 hours, and space them out.
Just my 2 cents worth,
