I wrote the following yesterday:
Headaches. They started out painful and got worse, and have been consistent for a few weeks. Every day I get one. So yesterday, as I was crying on my way home from work about how much my head hurt, I decided to make some danged changes.
1) NO. MORE. SODA. For reals. Sheesh. Headaches are almost instantaneous when I start to drink the stuff, and yet- I still drank it. Well, forget it, bod. You're done with soda. YOU ARE ON RESTRICTION!
2)Packing my lunch, eating breakfast at home. Much easier to keep track of what I eat this way and find out if my headaches are affected by my diet.
Yeah. Simple, I know. I'll keep you updated. So far, I have not had a soda today. I ate some scrambled eggs, potatoes and sourdough bread for breakfast. I also had an iced tea so the caffeine shut down wouldn't create more of an issue with my headbones. I went to the grocery store and bought some lunch stuff. As a generally happy person, it is very frustrating to be brought down by headaches daily. I miss out on fun! Even if I'm participating, I'm not all the way into it. It's kind of amazing how I've learned to just live with it. Like it's normal to take ibuprofen every day between 4 and 6? No way. Not anymore.

I am glad to say that I did not get a headache on my zero soda day #1. Gonna stick with it. I do not drink Coke anymore. So happy to have energy and feel well.
I didn't post that post yesterday because it seems like a weird thing to post. It still kind of does, but I'll share it with you anyhow.
