Weekly weigh-in, Migraines and Binging

So first the great news! When I weighed in yesterday morning my weight was 195. That's 2.2  down from last week and only 1.4 away from my 10%. I cannot tell you how much I desperately want to get to that next week!

I haven't been weighing myself at home - so no photos, sorry - because I found that my mind plays tricks with me and if I see a 'good' number on the scales earlier in the week I let go a little and stop following the program as well.  I wonder if my receptionist will take  a photo of the scale at my meeting?!

Now onto the not very great news! When I woke up yesterday I felt a little dizzy. Strange, right? My honey had inadvertently set his alarm for 3.15am instead of 6.15am. So when that buzzed in the morning it took me ages to talk myself into getting up. Usually I am well awake before his alarm goes off, and have had at least 1 cup of coffee before I have to face anyone! (Especially the very perky 10 year old boy!!)

Needless to say, when  went to get out of bed and looked at the clock and realized it was 3.30 - i just groaned and rolled back into bed. I just couldn't sleep anymore though. I tossed and turned until 7 when I got out of bed and the dizziness started!

Thinking not at lot of it, I went through the normal morning rituals and then went to run on the treadmill. I was so determined to finish the c25k program. My last run was scheduled and I was pretty determined that I would do it. My body had other ideas however. I did manage to complete a full mile (I am still so proud of myself every time I do that!) and then just did very odd intervals after that. I finally completed the 45 minutes and covered 2.6 miles, not too bad but a long way off what I had set out to complete.

On my way to my meeting I put 2 and 2 together and realized I had a migraine!!!! It's been such a long time since I have had one - and they rarely if ever follow the 'typical' pattern, so I missed all of the signs. So - I weighed in and then came home and lay down on the couch with all the curtains drawn.

Then I went on a binge. Ugh! I had managed a full 12 days since my last one and was hoping that I would be able to control it a bit better. But obviously migraines are a bit of a danger zone - so I will need to be on my guard for the future.

This is what I looked like this morning post migraine and after 14 hours of sleep...

Not pretty at all!!

Have a great weekend.
