Yesterday I did the "BodyAttack" class at the gym but left before the weight class. I had woken up with a migraine but thought "it'll go away". Well, it did but then came back with a force when I was trying to do my ab work at the end of class. I had to do some grocery shopping so I just left. After going to Publix, I treated myself to Starbucks (Oh man...I gotta add that to my food journal) and my head was feeling alright.

I got to Amelia's school earlier than the usual "I'm late, late, LATE" so I decided to clean the car out while waiting in the car pool lane. Well, it was very warm in the sun and I don't know what happened, but I started getting dizzy. I sat down and it passed. After I got home the dizziness came back and it was all I could do to get the girls' their lunches. I hurriedly got my lunch together and after eating, the dizziness was replaced by that same migraine, but this time it felt about 10x worse. After putting the girls to bed for their naps, I took my 2nd migraine pill. I put "Sense & Sensiblity" in the DVD player and laid down. I must have napped for about 30 min. then woke up and my head was no better. I then took 4 Advil and FINALLY the migraine started to go away.

Needless to say my appetite was gone and I really didn't want anything to eat. I did manage to fix dinner for everyone but when I get one of these "life stops" migraines, I just want to go to bed.

According to my food journal, I didn't eat enough calories yesterday. I'm trying to eat more fruits and veggies and less carbs. Today I will add in a yogurt.

I guess this was a rambling post today!
