Hey everyone
You are probably wondering why I am posting so early! Well, it’s because I have had a killer migraine since I woke up this morning and, as a result, had to leave work incredibly early today.
No fun at all. I’ve done every one of my usual migraine fixes but nothing is working today and I still have that screaming in my head. Bah!
This morning I had a bowl of oatmeal to get my day started. I used 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup silk, 1 banana, 1 spoonful peanut butter, some dried cherries and a sprinkle of gingerbread sugar
And for a mid-morning snack, a z-bar with pineapple!
I had a delicious lunch today, thinking it would help me feel better….but nope
I grilled my turkey/provolone sandwich (on protein bread) at work and it got all melty and delicious. I also had another cup of the fabulous tomato basil soup from work. Sometimes I think it helps being the only girl there! I can talk my way into soup!
Unfortunately, I started to feel reaaaally sick after I ate and went home shortly. No fun. No fun at all.
My tummy is kind of upset because of my head but I was hungry anyways so I made a soothing snack: a half cup of oikos and a pear:
Really, nothing major went on a work today….I felt so awful yet tried to suck it up and in the end, I just couldn’t swing it. I did bake some mini whoopie pies though. They are about the size of a quarter!
No workout today. I debated going for a beach walk, got dressed for it and then both my head and my tummy said no way. So…I think I might go lay down again. Thanks for sticking with me! Its just been a rough day, physically as well as emotionally. I know everyone has ‘em though so its alright!
Be back after dinner!

Hope you feel better
Feel 100% better soon, girl!!
I recently tried that blueberry Z bar, and yum! Now I am addicted, haha.. good thing I can only buy them when I go into the city.
Oh, man, that really sucks about your migraine.. I hope you feel better though. I’m praying for you over here!
Katie,
Yes! I’ve taken Imitrex for years. While it works, it makes me feel 100% YUCKY all over and I prefer not to take when I can. It’s also reallyyyy expensive and I’m currently out
aw feel better Jenna!! The blueberry z bar is the best!! Yumm but I can only find them at TJs!
feel better soon!! Working with a migraine is one of the worst things ever…
Take care of yourself and I hope you feel like yourself again soon. It’s no fun being sick
We’re all here for you!
Feel better! Rest up and take it easy
Jenna, feel better soon. Take care, and snuggle down for a long winters nap.
Poor Jenna…. I really hope you feel better soon. Get some rest, and with your positive attitude, you’ll be feeling bright and cheerful in no time!
I get migraines every once in awhile and Boy- do they take every ounce out of me! I hate that someone who hasn’t had one can’t really understand exactly HOW BAD they can be… like seriously debilitating, my last one was horrible.
I am SO sorry to hear you suffered from one too and that NONE of your tricks worked! Mind sharing those tricks? I have taking excedrin migraine and tried to drink water and lay in the dark but those are all I know…
Thanks!
