Yikes, don't skip lunch

I did a silly thing yesterday.  I had so many meetings at work that I missed lunch.  That's certainly happened to me before, but never while pregnant.  However, I was so busy that I didn't even feel hungry, so things were going swimmingly.

I began conducting some project management training in the afternoon, and took a quick break a couple hours in to run to the vending machines and get myself a package of Pop Tarts.  (I know, my poor baby... I swear I'll never do this again.)  I ate the Pop Tarts during the break and continued training, all while standing up.  Well, lo and behold, I suddenly came extremely close to passing out.  I'm talking about ears ringing, things starting to go black, breaking out in a cold sweat... all that good stuff.  All while standing in front of a huge room of people, so add some slight panic on top of it all.  Oh man, what a situation.  Luckily it was right before another break, so I let people go for ten minutes and I sat down, regaining my composure.

So I learned my lesson.  Mom, if you're reading this, I promise I learned my lesson.  No more skipping lunch, no matter what, and definitely not while I'm pregnant.  It had worse consequences than I expected, and still ended better than it could have, luckily.
