Yesterday I was scheduled to be one-on-one assisted by one of our up and coming assistants, Nina. Nina is awesome and I was really looking forward to it!
For food context, I'd eaten a Chipotle bowl with steak for lunch at 11am, and then went to the froyo place for strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and a few marshmallows and crushed oreos for a snack. What I didn't do, I'm realizing now, is hydrate enough. I'm not sure that was the issue but it probably contributed.
So I was also freaking out some more about dating this dude. He's one of those who types 'LOL' after every texted sentence. I'm one of those who doesn't like that. So I was being too critical, and then beating myself up for being too critical, and being excited to see him again, and feeling tired and overstimulated and my brain was a circus, a CIRCUS I tell you!
We began to flow, and I did the thing I do when I'm being one-on-one assisted - working really hard to impress my assistant. That's kind of awesome because I get to my edge in all the poses. It sucks because I go too far and get really tired. I was also giving live feedback when I could and judging myself for judging again and STILL thinking about Alex (the dude in question.)
Long story short, I developed a headache and the shakes and had to leave during pidgeon. I gave my feedback to the very understanding Nina, and drove home. I took a hot bath and waited for the inevitable reverse peristalsis. I think what happens is my body gets into a place of "we can't deal with this until what's in your stomach is out of your stomach." So I threw up a whole bunch of semi-digested berries (sorry, I know it's gross.) Then I lay down for a couple of hours, slowly hydrating.
What sucks about this is I know it's going to happen, and I know it's pointless to try to hydrate before it happens. So I have about an hour of waiting for my body to do what it needs to do before I can start the recovery process.
On the plus side, the Arbonne energy fizz sticks are great to hydrate with post-throwing up!
