Going into Day 3

Finally... no headache this morning! 

After waking up with a headache for the last 5 days, it's a huge relief to wake up and not have the headache.  Keeping my fingers crossed I can make it through the day without getting one.  

Could it be the morning headaches were caused by the foods I was eating?  Or were they from environmental factors, such as dust in the air, cat dander, or stress from work or home?  I may not know, but if I continue on this path of eating healthier and getting out for walks, then maybe I can limit those headaches.  

Yesterday was another good day.  I met my three goals.  I tracked everything I ate, got out for two short walks (got me to my meager step goal), and drank all my water.  

Same goals for today.  Track, walk, water.  

Tomorrow may be a bit of a challenge since I will be home (taking a "just because" day off from work) and working on my online Lego store.  If I'm in the groove, I don't eat.  But some days, I'm continually going in the house for food.  Or, I do well in the morning, go in for lunch and end up spending the rest of the day on the couch and eating anything I can find. Will need to keep my three simple goals in mind throughout the day.  And plan several short walks around the neighborhood.  

Last night I had a mini-meltdown, which may have been me detoxing from junk food or just tired.  But I just felt this bubbling frustration at every little thing.  I finally calmed down, sat on the couch and just relaxed (without food!  Yea me!).  Once I did that, I was fine.  

I'm still not sleeping well.  Which is bit frustrating.  I was hoping with getting a bit more exercise and fresh air, that it would be easier to fall asleep.  But Tuesday night and last night were a struggle to get to sleep.  I seem to sleep okay once I get sleep, but I hate laying there wondering if I'm ever going to drift off to dreamland.

I think the most notable change of just two days of eating well, is my attitude at work.  I'm not as tired and drained, not as emotional, and have more energy to tackle whatever gets thrown at me.  Need to keep that in mind when I want to veer off course and have some junk food.  I have been absolutely miserable at work, but most of it was misery of my own making.  

Okay, this becoming a bit of rambling post today.  I haven't been linking these posts to Facebook.  Not sure why... maybe because they aren't all that humorous, inspiring or motivating.  Just me, rambling about getting back on track... again... I've posted many, many similar posts for the last five years and I'm sure my Facebook friends are tired of hearing about it.  Maybe once I feel I am truly back on track and ready to shout about my success, then I'll start linking the posts on my Facebook page.  Until then, this will be a more of online journal.  If someone has stumbled across this blog and read this far, please, see the list below of more entertaining posts I have done!  :-) 

Off to have a good day and to reach my three simple goals.  I got this!
