I felt really odd bonk-like symptoms yesterday evening, not sure I ate enough.
I ate porridge & fruit puree for breakfast, an average-sized portion of leftover homemade macaroni cheese for lunch, a satsuma and two squares of dark chocolate midafternoon. Plus several cups of green tea and a roobois tea with 1 sugar, and a couple of glasses of water. I had cycled to work, all of 2.5 flat miles (albeit on a heavy bike). Come 5pm, I was feeling really tired, and had the beginnings of hunger, but a spin class was booked so I cycled to the gym (only 2 miles) where I did the class, still feeling hungry. I felt really rubbish in the spinning class, like I had no energy or enthusiasm whatsoever – usually I am fine once I get going but not this time. I drank a bottle of water with a nuun tablet during the class and took the class really easy.
After the class the hunger had disappeared and been replaced by a weird floaty/not really here feeling. I got showered and changed as quickly as I could but felt like everything had slowed down and even struggled a bit with getting my socks on. I phoned Rob and asked him to get the dinner on, then cycled home (just under 4 miles). Got home and immediately raided the fridge for a yoghurt and oatcakes despite the fact that dinner was forthcoming. Then ate big plate of dinner (fish, steamed veg, potatoes) plus a bag of sugary popcorn and had a cup of sugary tea. After all that I felt much better and had more energy than I had all day.
I should have eaten another snack before I got to the floaty point, right? Like a banana or something. Stupid.
