Stressed today......

I've had a few challenging days over the weekend. On Friday I went to a fair with my husband. The smells were wonderful....not your typical hot grease and cotton candy smells.......these were fresh corn, artichokes, bean burritos with handmade salsa, curry chicken, stir fry, brown rice, wonderful India seasoned veggies and noodles, samosas, DeFrisco chicken, whole wheat pizza, greek salad, all the great ethnic and organic foods. I was doing really good not wanting to have some of everything. I had decided to have 1/2 plate of noodles with veggies and chicken for lunch then have a wonderful organic fruit salad for a treat. Then I got a migraine and had to lay down on the blanket for a couple of hours. When I woke up I was sooooo hungry, I'm always starving after I have a migraine, so we went and got a Thripthy....that is an India burrito. It has a flat bread, curry chicken, fresh cabbage, tomato, cucumbers, onion, cilantro and some really hot onion and pepper chuttney....it is soooo good. Well after I ate that I was stuffed and never got to have my fruit salad. I still stayed with in my calories for the day ........well mostly.......I guess I better include the Starbucks Frappacinno we got on the way home.

Saturday was spent mostly taking it easy so I didn't have another migraine. I did fix frozen fish sticks for dinner(fast and easy) and didn't feel really good about eating that and clam chowder. For lunch I made the fresh fruit salad I wanted and it was really good and filling I had a spoon of yogurt on it and a sprinkle of granola.

Sunday didn't go real well....I didn't get breakfast ( big mistake) then by lunch time I was really hungry!!!! We were suppose to go to my husbands parents for a BBQ at 1:00pm after church so I assumed it was going to be lunch. I was wrong. They weren't planning on eating till around 4:00pm. If I had known this I would have got lunch after church before I even went all the way there. I told my husband I need to eat, so I took the kids and went and found the nearest Taco bell. The kids ate too much and were stuffed, I ate one bean burrito with lettuce and tomato and 5 chips. Not long after we got back they decided to start cooking.......wouldn't you know it!!! I ate a turkey burger on 1/2 a bun, I like to put lettuce on the top to hold it all together, no mayo. I did have cheese though and about 12 chips.......surprise they didn't bother me this time....I took about 6 then I went back and had about 6 more and wasn't tempted to have any more. I did good with my food choices but the rest of the evening was real emotional for me...I thought about getting into the ice cream but I just went to bed instead.

This morning I went for a "polarbear swim" with my daughter (the pool was about 74 degrees), not too cold but it was fun first thing in the morning.....it was refreshing...and she loved it! I got about a 30 min work-out in. After that I got another migraine. And yes I got really hungry after it went away. So, if I stopped eating right now and didn't have dinner I would be on track......but I don't think I can skip dinner. I think I will make a salad. That will be good!

I feel like I'm a mess physically....with having these headaches and being emotional and feeling stressed, please pray for me. I do have some things going on but just trying to get through them with time and prayer. Trying to stay busy this week and not lay around and sleep on the couch. Sorry for all the venting.....just need to tell someone. Thanks for listening.
