Thirty days with no headaches. This may seem like no big deal to you but not to someone who carries Excedrine everywhere she goes because she fights headaches often and its the only thing that works. In fact, each of the two morning before I started this project I woke up early with headaches so bad that I had to pop a few of them and go back to sleep for an hour.
Pretty awesome side-effect if you ask me.
I found a way to liven up my serving of
Numana. I pull the prepared stuff out of the fridge and add water before heating it up. Then I can pretend that its chicken and rice soup! You wouldn't think that I would be so excited about this, but I am. Hey, whatever "floats your boat".
Ha...that's a phrase that makes me think of my dad. He turned 70 today and I forgot. Again. I'm looking forward to seeing my folks this weekend, though. Except, I haven't told them about the project yet and I'm a little afraid that they may not be pleased about it. After all, I'm still their little girl and they will worry about my health. Isn't it funny that we are never to old to stop wanting to please our parents? I know that I am lucky to be blessed with them both and I love them so very much.
Tonight I headed to Genesis and worked out on the Arc Trainer. Thirty minutes was all I could pull off, barely broke a sweat, and my pace was about 75% of normal. I think it's time to try weights...something that will burn less calories but help me maintain muscle.
One last thing...I sat out in the sunshine for a little while reading a magazine this afternoon. A noise caught my attention and I turned to look. It was a Hummingbird! I don't know that I've ever seen one of those in Kansas before. After doing a bit of searching, I found that in South America the Hummingbird is a symbol of resurrection because they seem to die on cold nights and come back to life in the morning.
It was a beautiful gift today. Another amazing example of God's creativity in His complex creation.
