Not Feeling Well
Not feeling too well today. I think this whole week just needs to go away.
First, there was the car issue - again. And since I tend to hold all my tension in my neck and shoulders, I have had tight muscles and sharp pains in my shoulders all week. Last night Boyfriend gave me a pill that he takes when his back bothers him. My shoulders feel better today, but I didn’t sleep well at all despite the claims that I would be knocked out cold by this pill. I woke up with a migraine and ended up coming home from work after less than 2 hours there. I slept until after 3pm, then tried to eat something. Of course now South Beach isn’t agreeing with me. I need comfort food (aka carbs) and can’t have any of it. I feel dizzy and queasy. I would probably feel better if I was doing this diet and keeping to a regular schedule, but the migraine really threw me off. I cracked and had some M&Ms for the sugar, since a hard boiled egg, spoonful of peanut butter, and salad weren’t making me feel better. I feel a tiny bit better now, but not much.
You’re a better woman than me….I couldn’t hang with the South Beach OR Atkins diets….though I am sure I could get some of this weight off if I could!
I can’t hang with it either. Check out my other blog to read more about my diet successes and debacles.
Have you tried Excedrin? It was the only thing that works for me when I get migraines. The prescription stuff just made me sick to my stomach. I think there’s even an Excedrin Tension out there, although I’ve never tried it. Hope you’re feeling better now.
I keep Excedrin Migraine in my purse, but on that day, it did nothing to help me. Going home to sleep the day away did. I find that 99% of my migraines are due to extreme fatigue, so another day’s worth of sleep usually does the trick for me.
