Day Two and I am awake at 5:30 am with a blazing headache that never went away from last night. That and the foster puppy, yes a puppy because I didn't have enough stress in my life, lets add more; woke up to go outside.
Despite the hot yoga from hell, a ton of water and a big fat Ambien, I slept terribly. Someone tell me when the great sleep will come. They say that when you exercise and start making healthy choices you sleep better. I will let you know when that happens. Until then the Ambien stays and I will continue to hide the car keys (you don't want to know).
My Blood Pressure is super high, which may explain the headache. The problem with having health issues that are complicated and to a certain extent unexplainable, is that it tends to make you a bit paranoid. The year leading up to my heart surgery involved some fainting episodes similar to the one I had while in the hospital. The one in the hospital showed that my heart stopped, which ultimately sent me on this journey. But when they can not tell you WHY your heart stops when you faint, well it tends to make you shall I say a bit PARANOID. So when the most common thing you face when starting hot yoga is light headed and dizziness and you tend to have a neurotic personality in general, well you get the idea. PARANOIA. So I am on the fence about going to day two today of the hot yoga. I am currently googling the issue and have faxed my Cardiologist. So we shall see...
The bonus is that the nausea will make it easier to stay under my weightwatcher points!
I'm pulling for you.... keep remembering the healthy vision of you who you see in your future.
