Donated blood today - I think I've figured out how to do it right. Starting at least two days before, drink plenty of water and make sure I'm getting more iron and vitamin C than I usually bother with. It's a good thing I like water, spinach, and grapefruit.
I treated myself to a burger for dinner tonight, and got in a nice walk with a friend as well. Then I came back home and stared at my computer for a bit. I don't get faint after donating, but I do notice my heart pounding harder after a walk up the stairs, and a walk across downtown and back wore me out.
