At times our own light goes out
and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude
of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Today was a good day eating wise, but not health wise. I work up with a migraine so bad I could barely see & my eyes were so swollen. I took some ibuprofin and then my prescription meds. Nothing helped. Around 9am I woke up to call into work, then had some coffee in hopes that the caffeine would help it. Then I laid down on the couch & slept until noon. I couldn't believe it! I never sleep that late anymore! Not even on the weekends.
So, around 2:30 I had another cup of coffee, and 2 slices of roastbeef, and a few pieces of watermelon! YES, I am on a watermelon kick. That didn't help much either. SO I just relaxed. I had to pick up Lexi from school, and drop off paint that I was donating for the musical props. Then we came home & by 5pm we were having an early dinner. I ended up having 2 terriyaki burgers with cheese, on a plate, no bread of course, some sweet potato french fries and a huge glass of water. Don't forget I'm drinking lots of water through out the day too. But my migraine remains! This is really bad! I actually wonder if I am coming down with something that is causing me to have this migraine, maybe I should take my temperature? As you can tell by reading my blog, I type exactly what I am thinking.
I actually had a small bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream tonight, I am trying anything that will make me feel better. Except for grain of course!
That didn't help either.
I am so proud that the day after tomorrow will be a month that I am on this journey and I am so proud of how far I have come. I have expected to drop more weight than I have, but I'm ok with it, because it's coming off slowly and will hopefully be a permanent loss! Well NO NOT This is such a habit for me now! I love that I don't even want to have anything I can't! Well most of the time anyway! It's kind of funny in an ironic sort of way, that I even just said that, because not more than an hour ago did I say to Lexi, "Boy I really want homemade chocolate chip cookies!" That is when I decided to have the mint chocolate chip ice cream with her! LOL Took that craving right away! I really feel like, if I want something, I'll have it! I allow myself to have ice cream becaue I don't want to have anything with Grain, but for the most part, I don't crave anything usually! That kind of all went away the first 2 weeks of starting this journey. I like that I have joined a support group on face book, and they are all on some kind of weightloss journey so it's nice, I have only posted a few times, but it's very encouraging.
I have goals! I want to be down quite a bit by my Spring Break vacation, and of course a few weeks later when Lexi performs at Disney. I'm going to get to reconnect with some people from my High School years, so that will be awesome! And Lexi is looking forward to that time too! My Spring break vacation is the one where I will reconnect with everyone. SO excited!
Well I am going to lay down & get off this computer for a while!
Hope everyone has a great night!
Remember, one day at a time, and sometimes it's one moment at a time!
Godspeed!!!
