Well....hmmm. Today was interesting. And by interesting I mean frustrating. :D
I didn't have to work this morning, so I slept in a little before having lunch with Mum. I had a bad headache again this morning, complete with severe nausea, so I skipped my workout again. That's TWICE this week! If I had health insurance, I definitely would see a doctor about these headaches. I hesitate to label them as migraines, since I haven't been diagnosed with such, but I do have a Mum who has always gotten migraines (diagnosed and treated with a prescription) at the same time in her menstrual cycle that I get them. I'm sure it's the same thing, so I need to find something that works for the pain, because I can't keep missing workouts! It's not fair!
In terms of food, things were off today. Eating out at the Chinese buffet went fine; I ate only what I had planned for and calculated calories for earlier in the day. That said, food from restaurants must have something added to it that makes it act differently in your body, because I was craving sugar SOOOOO badly all afternoon. I never crave sugar like that. I wanted to eat a TRUCKLOAD of candy bars...and I can't even remember the last time I ate a candy bar. It was pure silliness, and of course I didn't eat anything off plan, but still! Not fun to spend an afternoon at work with a bad headache and visions of sugary evil dancing in your head! ;D
All in all, today was difficult, and I'm really looking forward to my weekend. I need to get back into my eating routine and take care of my body a little bit. I've gotten lots of sleep this week, but it'll be good to slow down enough to nurture myself some. Also, tomorrow is my 20min run and I am so very extremely horrible crazily mind-numbingly nervous about it!!! AGH!!
Can I do it?
"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I
don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my
life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts
and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing loud in the car
with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night
laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want
to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe
tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and
I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad He gave life to
someone who loves the gift." --Shauna Neiquist
