I can not stress enough the importance of exercise. Though I have been in this wicked streak for more than 2 weeks ( BUT I can not stress also it has not been as bad as it once was before I stared eating like I am now) I have not been exercising hardly at all these 2 weeks. I am tired and feel like crap. Today I did have a headache and my neck was bothering me but I powered on. I walked hills at the park and you know what I feel better. Now I am at the end of this streak at the beginning it would not have made a difference. But now at the end it is. Tomorrow I am going to do a full on hard work out squats and weights and all. When I am in a full blown headache even if its almost gone for the day I loose my strength I do not know if this happens to every one but it happens to me so working out is to hard. But as soon as I get my strength bac

my headache streak continues though I can see that its at the end. My neck has a knot and I know this is the issue. Tonight I will do my total assault on them and I hope this will do the trick. I will walk the dogs then take a bath later I will put peppermint oil on my neck and when I am falling asleep I will use my brain sync music. I have not done this before because I had to get a new kindle and have to reload it on there.
I have not been eating perfect and god who does! I watched a show the other day and the trainer that was on the biggest looser was on and he was talking about why people are fatter now than ever before and he was talking about the processed foods and how out bodies are not made to eat the chemicals and preservatives that we constantly assault ourselves with. Funny because this is how i lost weight really, just getting rid of this stuff from my diet. So today with a bit of thought and pre planing I went the whole day with no processed foods. Well sort of. I started the day with steel cut oats and blueberries and chia seeds. Lunch I had started the day before and it was a salad with organic lettuce and grapes I added grilled chicken and a boiled egg at the store. Now I am eating dinner I made 3 egg whites and added fresh salsa and cheese and chia seeds. I also had greek yogurt and a banana for desert with cinnamon sprinkled on it. Now the salsa had preservatives and we get the hard boiled eggs pre boiled and they are in a preservative. So it was not perfect but mainly whole foods and lots of fruits and veggies and I think I cut the chemicals to a minimum. I will see about tomorr Headache is still here and this is the thing that makes me mad. I had been doing so well about keeping up on my house it was looking good. It goes all out the window when I have a whole week of this. In my mind I want to be this organized person but because of migraine I have to be a fly by my seat of my pants kind of girl. You know what its OK. What having migraine has taught me is that sometimes things are just ok and just ok is good enough. I know people that are obsessed with having the perfectly clean house the perfect every thing. Some weeks like this week I can exercise my laundry is piling up and its just ok. Next week I hope my head will be better and those things will get done. I have learned not to obsess I just can not. Some days some one will stop over and I get embarrassed because the house is not just so but if they know me they know I have migraine and guess what its just OK!! Today was a very bad day though I feel better now I was dizzy and at one point even almost fell down, I tried to nap but just could not. Went to a store and the noise was overwhelming. I am so tired I can not keep my eyes open yet when its bed time I wont sleep.
Today I read a very interesting web site that said that they are finding a genetic link in families with migraines but what is very interesting is that they are also finding that there is also a sleep disorder associated in these families and the members that have migraine. So my son and I have migraine and we both have sleep issues! I have long believed that there is a link. I will go lie down again and what doe This headache is still here its been on and off since Wendnesday its now Monday. The sound sensitivity has been the absolutely worst. Yesterday was Mothers day and the odd thing is last year I had a migraine then as well though last year it was a terrible one that just would not leave pain wise. Yesterday it was just mainly pressure and sound sensitivity and being a bit tired. Big difference from a year before. But still I want them to go away for good. yes I know that they most likely will not but sheesh I am so sick of it. We went to breakfast at a buffet and I avoided the bacon and the sausage and it was OK did not bother me however, I ate the hash browns and they were fried. BUT they were seasoned and I should have known better. NEVER trust the seasoning you just never know I am sure they were prepackaged and therefore i imagine they had MSG. And from what my stomach told me later in the day they must have. I ended up with a stomach ache and some diarrhea now this is not a positive because migraines can do this to me. And my stomach was upset still today but I also had another headache today. BUT we ate at applebees last night and again it was spiced and who knows what was in it. Eating out is always a gamble. When I am doing OK I think its ok to sometimes take a chance but when hormones are making me trip over the edge like they have been it takes one meal to make me get another migraine. When we were at applebees I really wanted to snap the music was so loud the noise of the place was loud. Friday I was so sound sensitive that I made the mistake of going shopping OMG I wanted to snap I had to get the hell out of there it was like torture. Like every nerve was on end. I hope tomorrow is
My head is still bugging me but just annoying pressure. I had a massage yesterday and you would think that after a massage I would feel all better but I always feel off for a day or so. But in the end it does help. My neck muscles get so tight and send my head muscles into spasms and I know this is part of my issue. I hope its better tomorrow. Any way she said that she was thinking about why after doing so well my headaches have returned so badly. She was saying that after loosing allot of weight like I have the body has stored allot of toxins in all that fat also I have stopped eating the chemicals the nitrates the msg ect. they are still stored in the body. She said where but I forgot its some where in the intestines anyway. And even after a Detox you never fully ever detox all the crap you eat ever. SO she thinks that right now my body is trying to get rid of all the toxins from the fat and chemicals that were in my body. She said that they recommend chia seeds something gelatinous that will remove the bad stuff from your body. So I am eating them with every meal right now I had been eating them any ways but would forget to but lets see if they help. at this point I will try anything I am so sick of this. Plus they are so good for you and help you feel fuller longer.
