How I Felt

Throughout the first half of the day, I had great energy!  I walked about a mile... not super fast.  My body felt great.  After lunch, I made a trip to Whole foods (about 35 minutes away from my house).  Something inside the store triggered a small headache when I went through the body care section (lavendar soap maybe??).  On the way home my sciatic nerve was throbbing and all the joints in my right leg started to hurt.  (This could totally JUST be pregnancy related, I am aware).  The headache and leg pain continued through the rest of the day.  I tried to drink plenty of water on the home and had a full glass when I got home.  I also drink at least a full glass at each meal (if not two) and sip on a water bottle throughout the day.  By this evening I was feeling light-headed.  I was also CRAVING salt like no other... hence the pickles.  Today was not as great of a day as yesterday.
