That is how I was feeling yesterday. I didn't weigh in because I was in the Dells and didn't have a scale. I knew that I needed to get on the scale this morning. I was prepared for a gain this week. Why? Well I had a bad week physically and emotionally.
I was so excited after my 4 pound loss last week and ready to start another great week. Monday was Labor day; but I did really well. Tuesday came and I got a really bad headache; which turned in to an all out Migraine. If you have never had a migraine; I will tell you that I would not wish it on my worst enemy! They are so debilitating. I was too busy during the day when the headache started that I never had time to take anything right away. By the time I got home on Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m.; the Migraine was out of control. If you know what it is like to wring out a wash cloth to get all the water out...that is what the inside of my head feels like when I have a migraine. It feels like someone is twisting everything inside my head and making my head pulsate...Not only that but I can't stand the lights and I get very nauseated. When I get nauseated; I know that it is too late. I ended up in the ER...I am not going to go into details about my ER visit; because it was not one of my most memorable ones. So you know, I can't do narcotics when I have a migraine and that makes them harder to get rid of. I was frustrated after my long visit that I ended up walking home!
It is almost a week later and I still have a nagging headache. I do not know what is going on, but I keep clenching my teeth; which is NEVER a good sign...at one point I could say that my migraines were due to lack of sleep, too much caffeine, not enough water or hormonal....But I can not pinpoint my headaches to anything right now. I will say that I was getting a bad headache tonight; but I did go and work out for 30 minutes (stair climber) and I do feel somewhat better.
Anyway, another reason I didn't want to weigh in was because along with an ER visit and an IV; I only exercised two days last week....It is too hard right now to get up at 4:00 a.m. because I have a problem getting to bed early enough!
When I did weigh in this morning I was really shocked! I lost 2.2 pounds this past week. I am very happy. I am down a total of 47 pounds:) I decided last night that I need to prepare better this week and that I did. I have all my food ready for the whole entire week. Krzysztof made me fresh beets..yum, yum, yum! I am set for another successful week. I will NOT let my headaches, stomach pain (yes it is still there and I haven't done sit-ups in a month) or my busy schedule hold me back from my JOURNEY to health! I will get over, crawl under or go around ANY hurdle that comes before me; even if I fall down first!
Until Next Time, PEACE OUT!
