My first blackout!

Never had it happen before but my trainer had me on new equipment today something they were calling "the pig" its next to the stair climber and its similar to lunges. Then I did this vibration machine. Basically you stand on it and hold on to the bars and it jiggles your body really really fast... so much so that your legs get warm almost hot! I was on that for 2 minutes.

Then, when I got off that I started seeing spots and the room was spinning and even though my eyes were open - everything went black and I couldn't see anything. Next thing I know I feel myself falling and hitting the equipment and the floor. My trainer broke my fall I was told but I was out. Then he woke me up I guess and brought me a diet coke and a piece of a soy bar to get some sugar into my body. It was crazy - weirdest feeling I ever had. My trainer said, "Are you ok?" and I responded in a dizzy daze, "I don't think I feel too good!" Haha, ya think?!

Good news is I didn't throw up because I hadn't eaten. So my trainer brought me a diet coke and gave me a chunk of a chocolate soy protein bar. I've never liked those things and never been able to swallow a bite of one. But, today that one little piece of soy bar tasted like a snickers to me.

The reason I blacked out was because my sugar dropped too low and I had pushed myself too hard. (I had taken it upon myself to push myself to 5 minutes on the pig when I was ready to stop at 3.) But all was good after the coke and soy bar and I feel great today. I'll be back at the gym tomorrow!
