Getting Out of the Starting Blocks - Day 19
So I took yesterday off because I had a migraine. I slept most of the morning away. I didn't log anything because I thought it was going to be a bad food day. My usual physiological response to migraines is toast and butter. I don't know why. I actually managed to eat well yesterday. Bran flakes and a banana for breakfast, tuna melts for lunch. I made a really nice pasta with chicken, shrooms and spinach for dinner. I really should have logged it. I just didn't want to be in front of the computer yesterday.
Today, I feel better, still have the remnants of the migraine. They usually last about 24-36 hours for me I am back at work and have made it as dark and quiet as possible in my office. Blinds are shut, windows closed etc. This would work well, except that they are washing the outside windows today, so there is a diesel cherry picker parked outside idiling. AND one of the cleaners is smoking which just aggravates me even more.
I have breakfast and lunch planned and packed, have good snacks with me. I am planning meatloaf, salad and roasted nugget potatoes for dinner tonight. I don't know if I will walk or get on the elliptical tonight because I find that if I increase my heart rate, my head hurts more and I really don't want that.

"It's risky" said experience
"It's pointless" said reason
"GIVE IT A TRY" whispered the heart

Good for you making the smart choices despite your pain--definitely something to be proud of! Taking care of yourself mentally or when you're in physical pain is just as important as taking care of yourself through diet and exercise. So do what feels comfortable for now.
