Week Seven Monday

Today went really well.  I had a great coaching appointment which I walked to and from in the rain (thank you enormous umbrella that somehow we have).  I made my breakfast omelette of 2 eggs, mushrooms, and 1/2 c cheddar cheese.  For morning snack, I had my almonds.  For lunch, I had my bean salad with 1 oz of almonds and 1/2 cup cottage cheese.  All day long I had this nagging headache that I just couldn't shake.  Food didn't help, water didn't help, pain meds didn't help.  I wondered if it was a sugar headache (and no, this wasn't just a justification for eating a treat.  I really wanted to see if it helped and if this is something I just need to power through).  I got a  caramel sundae on the way home from school, but it didn't touch it.  I had a couple pieces of bread with butter on them, and then had dinner.  Holy Hannah the recipe I used was spicy.  I'm not going to put what was in it because you'll probably laugh at me for being too tender mouthed.  So I ate 3/4 of a portion on a cup of rice, but the only way I could eat it was with about 4 TB of sour cream to cool it down.  Sigh.  Good news is is that I wasn't hungry for the rest of the night.

In the evening, I took Pip on our long walk during a lull in the rain.  It was perfect.  I should have gone for another half hour.  I was going to work out today after school, but with the headache, I just didn't feel up to it.  My steps for the day turned out to be 10023.

Goal update:
#1- I ate my five meals
#2- The only processed foods I had were the caramel sundae and the bread (and even then it was light and healthy), so yes on this one, too.
#3- I'll do that tomorrow
#4- 523 steps over my goal
#5- Prepared and cooked a balanced, healthy meal.

  1. I'm sorry about your headache. I never get headaches and have had a couple the past two weeks and Hailey had a bad one yesterday also. I think it has something t do with a sinus infection. Hope it went away for you.
