Good and Bad Day

I'll start with the bad. I woke up with a monster headache. I actually had it after I got home last night from the gym, but it went away after dinner. This morning I woke up with a migraine. It honestly felt like someone was squeezing my head from all sides. I fought it and got up and went to work. I ate my greek yogurt with fruit in order to take some excedrin tension headache and had both coffee and tea. By 11am, I thought I was going to throw up in my office, so I made my exit and came home. Took pills, laid in bed with the window open - it was 13 degrees here, but the cold always helps. Finally at 7:25pm I feel normal again. Ugh! It's amazing the power a headache has on us.


The good. I ate like a champion today. After I got home I had salad with cucumbers and chicken. I had a luna bar for a snack today and then had a turkey burger sans bun and salad for dinner. I roasted veggies tonight - portabella mushrooms, red and yellow peppers, zucchini and squash, onion and asparagus and added them all to my salad. It was YUMMY! I am definitely feeling in the groove. NSV for me today...I had to go to CVS this afternoon to pick up a prescription. I wanted a snack and it was the power of a zone bar that got me up and to CVS. A zone bar...not a snickers bar which would have been my previous m.o. No zone bar to be found, so I headed to the gourmet convenience store on the corner. Every kind of bar you could imagine except a zone bar. So, I got a luna bar instead. Such a good decision. Wasn't even tempted by the snickers!


Made my salad for lunch tomorrow - grilled chicken with roasted veggies and am typing from bed. My plan tomorrow is to work out after work - day two of my 5k program. Tomorrow night, I'm thinking marinated, grilled chicken with little red potatoes. I'm really enjoying cooking again. Although, I didn't make the turkey burgers. Have to thank the amazing boyfriend for those!


Off to drink water, eat a banana and head to bed. Making my fill appointment tomorrow. Nothing got done today!


Hope you're all great!

  2. Bananas have a lot of fiber, as do all the veggies you have been eating...good for pooping! Heather gets migraines and its terrible for me and for her. I have never had one, and when she gets one I want to tend to her, but that only makes it worse so I have to stay away from her. She loses feelin in hands and her vision blurs, and she usually pukes from the meds. So I feel for you. Good job on the food sister.
