So, I have great news! I solved my dizziness during workouts problem! I have a lot of friends to thank for their advice and compassion. But mainly I just needed to eat something an hour to thirty minutes before exercising. Especially when lifting heavy. It didn't really matter what I ate before working out but I try to eat something with some fat or some protein in it just so it ties me over. Half a protein bar, an apple with peanut butter, a handful of trailmix, or a peanut and jelly sandwich were all great foods to give me sustained energy.
So My roommate has heard a lot about this dizziness saga considering I talk A LOT about crossfit and lifting :). Anyways. My roommate made a sandwich after breakfast to smuggle out of the dinning hall for later nourishment. I get back to our dorm after class and see the sandwich on top of the fridge with a note that says. "My Dearest Bre, please eat this sandwich." I did eat the sandwich. I ate it right before going to crossfit. When we saw each other later that evening I asked why she didn't eat her sandwich. She said the cutest thing ever! She said, "Well I knew you wouldn't eat before Crossfit so I made you a sandwich so you wouldn't get dizzy." My god... I'm so thankful to have such a caring and thoughtful friend to room with. Long story short, we make each other sandwiches just about every day now. Just in case we need them. And I will have you know, there hasn't been a single sandwich that has gone uneaten in our place of living.
Thanks Katy! and Thank you to everyone else who took time out of there days to text me or call me and discuss possible solutions for my dizziness problem. <3
Ed: 0 Bre: better workouts.
