NO CAFFIENE = HEADACHE

So I haven't had any caffeine since Monday until today. I know that doesn't seem long but I guess for my body one day is too many days. Anyway, I had a headache yesterday and then again/still today. So I took my "special" prescription headache medicine (this is reserved for HORRIBLE headaches) and it wasn't curing the problem. So I called Dr. Hart (my doctor) to see if I could take anything else with this medicine. The fact that I had decided to take caffeine from my diet came up and I was told that due to my chronic headaches he advises me to have 1-2 caffeinated drinks a day. Cool! How many doctors actually tell you to drink caffeine? So I officially switched to diet coke today. I add a little vanilla syrup to it (40 calories is better than 140-I think that's the calories of Coca Cola Classic) and it's actually good.

Alomng with the diet coke today I watched my calorie intake. I am trying to stay at or under 1500 calories but I won't be hard on myself if I go over. So by 3:30 today I was at 960 calories (and by the look of my paper that I have been writing my information down on, I had ate A LOT!). Then I came home and only had dinner left to go. Until Emma, my daughter, came home. She presented me with first a thin mint Girl Scout cookie. I told her "Thank you but I don'tneed anymore". I wasn't really hungry but it was so sweet of her to offer me one I couldn't turn it down (next time I will thank her and then no thank her). Then she, for some reason, felt I needed another cookie so she brought me a Tagalong (another Girl Scout cookie). I was foolish enough to take it to (I apparently don't learn/don't know how to say no). BUT in the end I came in under calories for the day (I'll probably being hungry when I wake up) and I don't feel hungry. YEAH me! My total calorie count for the day is 1390 calories.
My work out tonight was P90X plyometrics. If you don't know what this is, unfortunately you will have to google it I don't think I can explain it, but it's GREAT! I sweat so bad it looks like I just got out of the shower or caught in the rain. The last time (2 weeks ago) my legs hurt so bad I had trouble bending my legs to go up and down stairs. I had trouble just lowering myself on the toilet to tinkle (I had to brace myself using the side of the tube and a hamper. I did it on a Wednesday and had this trouble until Saturday. It's GREAT! That is a true workout!

The day is complete. I hope and plan to have another good day tomorrow. Maybe I will even weigh myself again soon.

By the way the headache has disappeared!
