Too much water ='s sick Carolyn

[paragraphs]

I had a disturbing experience today. I drank too much water...which I've done before so you'd think I'd learn. About 3:30 I started to feel dizzy, my monitor at work started to get fuzzy, and bright like I'd stared into a light then looked at it. I felt nauseous, headachey...which I suppose is not a word, lol.

Fortunately I'd brought my potassium with me. Two pills got me straightened out, then rushed home and cooked steak and grilled onions on my Foreman Grill. Glad I broke that out and dusted it off. It was great! And so fast!

Then had apple pie--oven at 375, cut up apple sprinkled with a mixture of cinnamon and stevia, and apple pie spice...cooked 30 minutes. A little too long for Granny Smith actually--was perfect for the Cameo apple.

I had also skipped my afternoon fruit in order to enjoy it tonight...won't do that again. Seriously messed me up.

I am still feeling a little wonky. Hopefully by 8:30 I will feel well enough to write. This sudden-illness-thang was NOT on today's gameplan!

Tomorrow...less water, regular potassium, and apple-snack at 3:00. No more repeats of this nonsense. Geesh. Idiot.

Hear, hear! LOL I never drink NEARLY enough water myself, if anything, I drink way too little of it and then my head aches because of that. How much exactly do you drink? :\

TONS. Nick says it is a Texas thing...possible. All of us drink alot here even though it isn't hot all the time. Essentual during late June through early September... To me anyway.
