Lost & Found... Map Gone AWOL!

[Bess]

No not meltdown. Just get on with the trip to Ayr. Plod on with the everyday things.......go on, you can do it. Are those cup cakes in the bin? And drop something horrid on top of them.........just in case. Buy some nice treats in Ayr - a box of blueberries - some raspberries.......every hour is an achievement you know. x

 

[Katycakes]

Yep... fruit... fruit will get me through. Raspberries! Thanks Bess. And I know, an hour at a time, forget the head stuff, get the body stuff under way. And having a busy morning is probably a good thing. Still have sore head, will take some paracetamol and get moving. Hugs, all.

Reporting in... head thumping all the way to Ayr, migraine I think (choc/sugar/guilt induced). Now tamped down with paracetamol, but lurking still.

Bought both blueberries & raspberries, Bess. Had coffee stop at midday in Ayr, chose mint tea & a yog & fruit pot that had 150 cals, and once home had a CD hot choc. Pleased with that really, and hoping for a productive afternoon work-wise. Will post later to say how I got on.

Hey Katy,

Dont really have any helpfull advicxe as I am feeling a bit lost myself at the moment, but just writing to say I'm thinking of you xoxo

 

[Katycakes]

Thanks Raquel.

Yesterday afternoon was not perfect, but better certainly. After my CD hot choc I ate 4 oatcakes with peanut butter. Didn't need them... well, possibly needed the first two. But in comparison to choc & cupcakes they are not a worry. At least they were FOOD not cr**.

For tea, sprouts, broad beans & feta cheese with tabasco sauce. Sounds deeply weird but I love it.

Before tea, was craving sweet stuff and had a huge inner argument about whether to eat the fudge I was taking over to give to mum (to get it out of the house, it was a house-sitting pressie from a neighbour). For once, the voice of reason won.

I STILL have migraine this morning... this is 3rd day of it... so cannot help suspecting I am pre-menstrual and this may explain sugar cravings.

Today... porridge, hazelnuts, blueberries, 0% yog.

Hoping for a good day both food & work-wise.

Morning Katy, hope that migraine clears soon hun!
Have a great day!

Hope everything is going according to plan today Katie, and that your pounding head is getting better...

 

[Watergirl]

Head any better hunnie? I don't get many headaches, but I know that they're a real pain. Hope it's cleared x

 

[Katycakes]

Haven't had more paracetamol, and headache is receding, more like a headache-hangover now. And started totm, so it all makes more sense now. I know I will feel better in the morning, and it explain the sugar cravings too.

Today's food, after my porridge start...
1 wholemeal pitta with cottage cheese, salad leaves & 2 quorn fillets
CD hot choc
2 oatcakes & peanut butter
CD orange bar
small plate rice & chick pea curry

I have to go out later to pick kids up at midnight from party in village hall in middle of nowhere - literally - really not looking forward to that, could just curl up & sleep now. The hazards of country living. An OK day work-wise, anyway.

[Bess]

Glad you are feeling a bit better now Katy, food looks good too. The midnight taxi run......country living!!

 

[herewego]

Hi Katy - I'm glad your head is feeling better!

Midnight taxi - sounds like fun (not).

Hope you manage to stay awake

 

[Katycakes]

Me too... this where minis comes in handy. Will be here for next hour until time to set off!

[LellyCD]

Morning Katy! Glad for you that totm has arrived, don't know about you but it always feels like such relief for me and craving etc disappear (almost!)
Have a fab day!

[Katycakes]

Sulking because woke up with such evil migraine feels like half my head is coming off. OTHER half to the side that was hurting for last three days. Have taken paracetamol but not sure it will work today... feel really sicky, too. Seems very unfair.

Probably to do with being up so late, and crazy midlife hormones, but I am not a happy bun today.

[aussieraquel]

sorry to hear bout the migrane, their the worst. Hope it goes away soon, maybe you need something stronger than panadol?

 

[LellyCD]

hey katy, sorry you are still not well hun, just an idea but its not sinus pain is it?

 

[Katycakes]

No, deffy migraine. Usually come just before totm, though I don't often get them these days. Paracetamol plus usually keeps them at bay, if I get to them in time, but they do drag on. Classic migraine, searing pain over one eye & side of head... without the paracetamol would also get flashing lights and sickness & need to lie down in dark room.

Choc binge earlier in week obviously didn't help, but this is beyond a joke... HURRRRTS!!!!! Not sinus tho, my flu thing other week was just fever, aches & a cough, no runny nose or usual cold symptoms. Thanks though both of you for suggestions. I hate going to docs, but maybe need something stronger... feel like I have lost 4 days really, only good work day was yesterday, and that was like getting blood out of a stone.

[Bess]

Try Syndol, you can get it in the chemists. It makes you feel weird because it has a muscle relaxant (sp?) in it but it works well. x

 

[Katycakes]

Will get some next time I am in town... but 15 miles from nearest chemist right now and not in good fettle to drive. Can I have a head transplant please?

[Porgeous]

Ouch, know just how you feel hun, I get them too, hormonal migraines I was told caused by the fluctuation in hormone levels around TOTM. Sadly I have never found anything that gets rid of them, even specialist migraine medication. The only cure, a dark room and some peace and quiet.

Look after yourself
