ups and downs

[timepiece]

Actually, they're all downs, but one is in a good kid of way.

Tuesday, I felt the entire day feeling like I was about to pass out. Someone asked if that meant I was tired. Well, yes, tired and shaky and lightheaded. Fun, fun.

So I skipped my evening class, since I was afraid I'd pass out in the car on the longer drive, and took yesterday off. I'm still tired, and maybe a little shaky, but no longer lightheaded.

Rich thinks I've been taking the dieting too far and not eating enough. That might be part of it, but it's not like I'm not eating at all.

On the other hand, my scale actually showed me my goal weight yesterday. Of course it's a digital scale that likes to mess with me, and added 1.5 lbs when I tried again about 10 seconds later, but still, I'm close.

So today I came into work, but I still feel like crap. And I have class tonight, which I really don't want to go to, as we are having formal debates. Ugh. And I always get assigned to the side I don't agree with.

It's possible you're not getting enough iron. Are you taking a multi-vitamin supplement? Maybe you should add that to make sure you're getting everything you need. Not eating enough could do it, too.

Yeah, I take a women's multi-vitamin every day, with the extra iron and calcium, so I don't think that's it. I think it was the lack of food (though, oddly, I didn't even feel that hungry).
