I had an off day today...

It has been months since my last migraine and I got one early this morning. On Saturday, I fell asleep thirty minutes or so before midnight and woke up at 5 am on the dot. I was having a major allergy attack and getting my sneezing under control was nearly impossible. I had to get up and walk around for a bit before falling asleep again. I knew being awake for more than five minutes was unwise because of church. On Sundays, I usually wake up around 7:30 or 8:00 so I can have plenty of time to get ready for church and to have breakfast. I set my alarm five different times and I kept hitting snooze on all of them. Why? Why couldn't I find the energy to get of bed? I woke up to use the restroom and to inform my grandmother of my health because I heard her getting ready. I had exactly 30 minutes to get ready and I had no energy to do so. The pain moved from the middle of the head to my temples; which can be very excruciating for when it comes migraines. I took three Advil to dull the pain and went back to bed in hopes the pain would go away for me to go to church with my parents. -sigh- The pain never went away and I slept until noon; I think that threw me off a little for the day.

I always wake up around 8:00 so I can eat breakfast and have enough hours in between to be ready for a smaller lunch. I like eating a lot of protein in the morning because I know I will work out later in the day. I felt absolutely terrible and woke up starving. I knew I had to make something with protein, but I knew what I wanted to make would take time. "Breakfast" consisted of 2 Weight Watcher Thin Mints (100 calories).  I didn't realize it then because I was so hungry, but there were apples and pears on the counter. I could have an apple as a snack while my omelet was cooking. Secondly,  I had my regular two egg omelet with half a slice of American cheese and 1 tbsp of ketchup (15 calories) for a total of 250 calories. Lastly, I made sure to have a big dinner since my calorie intake was so minuscule compared to last week. Dinner consisted of the following: 1 sweet potato (180 calories), 1 pork chop (276 calories), 8 roasted asparagus with spices and a little bit of olive oil (264 calories), and 1/4 of applesauce (45 calories). My dinner was much higher than I usually like, but I figured it was better to eat and not starve. The total of tonight's dinner came to 765 calories.

I knew that I had to eat more vegetables before tomorrow's weigh in, so cooked 1 cup of green beans to snack on during Once Upon a Time. The one cup of green beans came to 44 calories; with 150 calorie Skinny Cow ice cream.

Today was not the best day, but tomorrow is a brand new day.

Schedule for tomorrow morning is below:

• Wake up
• Weigh in
• Have breakfast
• Run 2 miles
