Today I walked two miles on the TM at a brisk pace and at a higher incline.  I didn't feel like I overdid it at all and I drank plenty of water and had an apple before I got to the gym.  Then I stretched and did a few lunges and stuff.  I ran to Macey's before I went home to grab some milk, I ran into a girl there that wanted to gab and all of the sudden I started to get really hot and felt like I wanted to throw up.  I finally left that girl and tried to check out and I almost passed out.  The cashier said I was turning white and that I should sit down.  Luckily I had already entered my pin for my groceries and I made it to the bench to sit down.  My eyes started watering, my forehead felt really hot, but luckily no fainting.  I made it to my car and chugged some water and shoved a granola bar in my mouth.  I don't know why but I thought food might help.  Anyway I came home and Wes was already in his car ready to go b/c my fiasco at Maceys took way longer than it was supposed to.  I am feeling better now, but I have a small head ache.

Scary. Here's a question that may sound funny, but it's totally serious. Were you wearing tight pants? This can cut off or decrease the blood flow through the body and ultimately to the brain. And standing up in one position for a while does it, too because the blood stores in the tops of the legs. You have to bend your knees every once in a while to keep the blood from moving.

Merri, it's ok. I had this happen to me several times when I was pregnant, and it was at the grocery store every time. You probably had low blood sugar and all the standing in one spot without bending your knees doesn't help. Really, it happened to me every time I was prego.

So we have to have a little sister to sister chat. I'm gonna email ya about this one :)
