Today was a good day! I finally lost enough weight (122 lbs) to ride my daughters horse. I was so excited but a little apprehensive because I haven't been riding since I was 17 and I am 43 years old now!  I can't wait until I start looking for my own horse to ride so that my daughter and I can go horseback riding together.

So, I had an interesting day yesterday.  I went with my family to Sky King in Cocoa to get fireworks for the 4th.  I was ok during the ride there, had a busy morning and didn't have time to eat so I was snacking on Turkey Pepperoni and a light cheese stick on the ride there. We also stopped so hubby could get some boiled peanuts in the way and I had a few of those, it was about 1pm or so.  Anyways, since I didn't have any water, I thought I could drink a gatorade and did so during the drive.  Once we got there and I got out of the car, I started feeling very tired and sluggish feeling.  I got into the store and about 15 mins later started to feel like I was going to pass out.  I told my husband that I needed to sit down somewhere and then all of a sudden I broke out into a cold sweat, he grabbed my hand and we very quickly walked to the door, while doing so I started to get a very loud noise in my ears, don't really remember much except that once we hit the door, I fell to the ground.  I knew people were around me telling me to drink the water.  They started to put cold towels on my neck and cold bottles of water on my face.  I started to feel a little better and my color came back in my face.  My hands, legs starting doing like a tingling vibration feeling.  I had no nausea or cramping.  I don't know if this was just an anxiety issue because the store was crowded but the last time I felt like this was at the flea market.  Same thing, ok during the drive, had about 8 oz of gatorade, got out of the truck and felt very tired and sluggish but left before the pass out episode. 
I am wondering if maybe the gatorade was too much sugar for me since this is twice although the first one was not as bad.  Today, I am feeling very scared to venture out anywhere.  I was sitting here and getting heart palpitations, dizziness feeling.  I try to get enough water in but it's hard. It usually takes me 8 hours to drink 16 ozs. If I drink more water, I can't eat but a bite or two of food then I am miserable.
