Well it's been several days since I've posted anything and I figure I better get my butt back in gear before I totally forget about the blog! I haven't really changed anything or had anything exciting to share so I've just slacked off. I thought about something that I wanted to share tho and figured I better get to it before I procrastinate again! LOL
I think this is about week 3 of better eating...before changing my way of eating I was experiencing headaches at least 2 a week. The only thing I had found that would help was tension headache pills. My skull would feel like it was going to explode and hurt down into my neck and shoulders. Sometimes the tension pills wouldn't knock it either and it would linger for 2-3 days. I am happy to report that I've been headache free since my first week of the improved eating plan! It's so odd...I mean you'd think something like that would be apparent but I didn't even think about it until writing a shopping list and trying to think if I needed vitamins, headache pills etc and I thought OMG I haven't had a headache in weeks!!!!! I was SO SO SO excited. K suffers from migraines and I hadn't heard her say anything about having one either and when I ask she said she hadn't! Between tension headache pills for me and advil migraine for her we're gonna save some $$$! Good thing too because this healthier eating isn't cheap! No wonder so many people are fat. You go to McDonalds and can get a double cheeseburger for a dollar but a salad is 5! UGH! Plus since I'm checking the calories and fat grams of EVERYTHING I just can NOT believe how even some of the "healthy" stuff is so NOT healthy at all!!! Salads have got to be the WORST thing you can buy at a restaurant! I was checking the Wendy's website for their nutrition info and was just blown away at how much fat grams and calories are in a salad...the least was the apple pecan chicken salad and it still weighs in at 570 calories and 27 grams of fat! The spicy chicken ceasar salad is 770 calories and 49 fat grams!!! FOR A SALAD!!!!! You can do a small chili, baked potato with sour cream and chives and a side salad with lite dressing for 600 calories and 15 fat grams...don't get fooled into thinking "oh it's a salad so it must be good for me"
Well today is the day I measure again to see if I'm making any progress...I will be sure to post tomorrow and share the results!!
