Almost a barf-o-rama!

Glad to report that wee man didn't cry when he got on the school bus this morning!  He was still concerned, but but enough to actually cry.  What a brave soldier.

This morning I set a caloric goal on the elliptical of 500, instead of a set time.  I find I watch the calories non-stop because it feels good to watch them melt away.  These new ellipticals are really killing me though.  I worked as hard as I could, like serious tomato-style (face), and burned my 500 calories in about 50 minutes.  Now I know this is what I've been doing for the past 2 weeks, but it just hit me really hard today.  The cool down and I don't get along.  In fact, I hate the cool down.  When I'm done, I'm done.  I stepped off today and was met with a horrible pain in my uterus of all places.  It was almost like it seized!  Then I felt dizzy and thought for sure I was going to be sick to my stomach.  Instead of doing my mat work I headed straight for the change room.

Who was in there?  The Oakville lawyer's wives.  Ugh.  No this is not a club called the Oakville lawyer's wives, well not an official one anyway.  Just a group of women who are classic Oakville wives.  If you're not familiar with this sect of women, think "The Real Housewives of Orange County" and you'll get an idea.  I bust in, beet red, sweaty as hell, and ready to vomit!  In retrospect, quite funny!  At the time, very embarrassing.  I shot into a bathroom stall which has no privacy other than the doors and wretched.  I didn't puke, but boy did I ever feel like I needed to.  The whole drive home I was on pins and needles hoping I'd get home in time before something vile happened in my car.

Got home, jumped in shower, set alarm and lay in bed for the next 2 hours, writhing around in pain and distress.  When I got up to go pick up wee man I looked in the mirror before leaving and was shocked at how white my face was!  Now I've been known to have such lovely nicknames as 'fog patch' and 'Casper' so under normal circumstances I'm very pale, but this was scary pale.  I feel pretty good now, but man oh man, I hope that doesn't happen again.  I kind of wondered if my blood pressure dropped too quickly.  That combined with that lovely time of the month... maybe made a molitov cocktail out of my body.
