Today marks one week back for me on lowcarbing (the vegetarian way this time ) and it's time to reflect.

Unfortunately, yesterday was rough. First day of TOM always is but this month has been one of the hardest I've had in a while, probably because after staying away from junk food for two months, I went back into the weekend binging and that put my body way out of whack (TOM was late, of course). Just very painful and very heavy this time around.

Headache came back yesterday evening, mainly because I felt one starting around my sinuses in the afternoon but didn't...

Well, the migraine went away yesterday evening but I didn't get much done. Then early this morning, TOM kicked in (which is probably why I had the migraine) and all the lovely gastronomical stuff that goes with it (cramps, etc.) so I spent most of the early morning not being able to sleep and running to the bathroom. Thank goodness all has settled now, although I'm still feeling "out of it". I do plan on going for a walk to a cafe and do some writing, though.

I am almost a week back on lowcarbing and I just wish I had been feeling better physically in other ways besides...

Not doing so well today, but not because of lowcarbing.

Last night I developed a headache and even though I've been taking headache pills (over the counter) throughout the night and this morning, the headache has developed into a migraine. Right now it's not super bad, so I can still concentrate a little, but I'm only hoping it will either go away or not get worse. But this morning it was bad enough for me to call and cancel the appointment I had for a bone density text.

I don't think this is because of going back to lowcarb, as I've had this same thing for the past...

Doing great this morning, as the stiffness I had in my left arm for the past few days (from sliding like a kid in the dirt ) has almost gone so I can do some exercise today. I did nearly none yesterday, both because the weather was crappy and because I spent most of the day doing errands (taxes, laundry - I get a nice fat check from the government this year, though - which is sorely needed!)

I'm actually glad I'm not feeling much of the "carb detox" but then I'm not on induction level carbs.

Yesterday's menu:
1 egg + 1 egg white scrambled and sauted...

Felt better yesterday in terms of that "off" feeling going away, although I feel a bit headachy today. I don't blame that on the lowcarbing, though, as a lot of triggers are present right now (specifically, PMS and the fact that they're revamping the parking lot outside my apartment and since I'm so sensitive to smells, the blacktop odor is getting to me).

Since it's a bit gray outside, I decided to make this an errand day - laundry and taxes. Fun, fun, fun.

I'm also trying to rest my muscles a bit. A few days ago, I was walking through a construction area...
