So I came to a decision today. After discussing it with my husband (who fully supports it) I am ready to implement. I've been thinking about this for a while but I think it's just fully come to realization, mine in reality and in my head. Between my health history and my weight I can't fully enjoy life the way my boys have given me the opportunity to do. I want to change that. For years, my headaches have held me back. As I said yesterday, one of my triggers is exertion. How do I work out knowing I'm going to have a killer headache afterwards that might last days? Then it dawns on me...I have a headache everyday as it is. So maybe I need to just let the headaches be what they will and focus on my health otherwise??? Please understand that I know that this will put more on Mark - waking up at night to grab medicine or getting up with the boys in the mornings. He and I talked about this and he is ready to step in as needed. (How did I get such a great husband? I know he just wants me to be healthy too.) So tonight's workout was the first step...
Ok, did I make my goal from yesterday? Why yes, yes I did. I ran/walked 30 minutes tonight on the treadmill. It was almost an experiment to see if I had another headache in the middle of the night. So we'll see and I'll let you know tomorrow...
Goodnight world!
P.S. I get to see my sister in 7 or 8 days! I can't wait!
Hi, I saw your blog on Courtney Crozier's site. I'm a blog stalker, Nice to meet you! But I wanted to congratulate you on making a wonderful decision for your life. Who knows, once your body adjusts and you get that blood flowing normally, maybe migraines will subside with physical exertion. You won't know until you try. Stay focused, I am sure you can do it!!! PS...have you ever tried chiropractic? I used to suffer from migraines and chronic pain in my back and have been going to a chiropractor for the past couple months and my life has changed dramatically. No more pain! Just a thought :)
