Sundays used to be my least favorite day of the week because it meant that I had to wake up to an alarm the next day, but now they are my favorite day of the week. It's a day I get to spend the day with my hubby going to worship at church, go grocery shopping, get some good cooking done, read the newspaper, and most importantly, put my feet up and just relax.
Unfortunately, last night I started to feel "migrainy" and woke up with a big start to a migraine.
I was desperate for it to not turn into a full blown migraine so I took Tylonol and busted out the ice pack. It took me through church, but on the way home I started to feel it coming on stronger. When I got home I took more Tylonol, but to no avail. It was a migraine. However, I am thankful because I was able to take my medicine and it worked within an hour.
Three migraines is way better than ten so I'll take it!
So the Great Migraine Battle continues...

I have been trying to figure out what the trigger was and I haven't had any sugar, got plenty of sleep, exercised regularly and I've narrowed it down. I think it may have been the huge increase in dairy I have been eating the past couple of days. The anti-inflammatory research claimed dairy was an inflammatory food, but I didn't want to believe it because I feel milk's calcium and Vitamin D benefits are so important to a healthy diet. However, I had LOTS of sour cream and butter on my baked potato at Tom's work dinner Friday night plus my fish was swimming in butter.
I also ate 1/3 of a block of cheese these last couple of days as my snacks. Then yesterday I made a new recipe...Creamy Mushroom and Shrimp Pasta which has 10 tbsp of butter and 3 oz of cream cheese and washed it down with a nice big glass of milk. Yeah. I think the dairy did me in. So when Tom and I went grocery shopping I got some almond milk to try. I've heard good things about it so we will see. It has calcium and lots of vitamins in it and I will continue to eat cheese but will be eating it sparingly. I will continue to try to figure out these triggers.
Here's my creamy shrimp and mushroom pasta from last night. Had the leftovers for lunch after church today it was even better the second time around. I don't even have to convince you to try this because the picture says everything. :)
Here's my afternoon snack...blueberry banana ice cream. Frozen banana + frozen blueberries + milk + Magic Bullet = yumtasticness (no that's not a word, but it totally describes this concoction)
So I've been telling you all about Tom's famous Sunday night homemade pizzas and I kept forgetting to take a picture before we cut into it and started eating because it's so darn good! Tonight Tom reminded me to take a picture as soon as it came out of the oven. His side has pepperoni and Italian sausage. My side has fresh pineapple. The crust is Jiffy Pizza Crust and has no sugar :)
We found some great snacks on our grocery shopping adventure this afternoon.
These are delish and sugar-free!
I got to eat cookies for dessert tonight!!!
On another note, I am wanting to do something different with my hair. I'm thinking about getting a body wave. I'm trying to grow it out and the last time I got my hair cut, my hair dresser cut REALLY short layers and I want to do something simple and easy with my hair while it grows out. A body wave might just do the trick. Wash, gel, scrunch, go! Any other suggestions??
