My Thoughts:
I had a wake up call this morning. I had a suspicion that I wasn't eating enough calories, but this morning I *knew* that I hadn't been. My blood sugar was so low by the time that I woke up this morning, that I was sick to my stomach, shaking, dizzy and disoriented. It would seem that for me, 1600-1700 calories is just a little too low. I'm gonna bump up to 1800 -1900 calories a day and see how that works out for me. I definitely do not want a repeat of this morning. It effected me for most of the day. I continued to feel sick to my stomach for most of the day. I'll keep you posted on how the change in calories consumption effects me in the morning. Tata!
Regards,
Christina
