Let's log these headaches - and see if I can figure out what's really going on...
1/27/14 - Woke up with headache over right eye at 5:15am - it didn't actually wake me, the phone did.
Finally ate breakfast and had coffee at 9:30am
Now - 11:35am - no headache
12:10pm I can feel it coming back - over my right eye/temple area.
I'm upping my water intake this week, let's see if that helps. 10 ounces down now - 12:54pm - it does seem to have lessened. Keep a log of water, too. This is all just an experiment... so it may become rambly.
Finished another 20oz water.
Going at 2pm to get a tetanus shot. No idea when I last had one... and I cut my fingertip (and half my nail) pretty badly Sat night while peeling a sweet potato. This, plus my previous twisted ankle, show that being healthy is super dangerous! Hope this doesn't hurt too badly.
Got my shot. Not too bad, says it may hurt worse later. Great!
Also a new wrapping - which makes it much harder to type.
3:42pm - only slight headache - still above right eye/temple.
Getting another 20oz water.
Reading more about the Whole30 and headaches... found this in a forum post on Whole9life.com.
"The whole 30 is ultimately about learning what foods are right for you and learning to love real food in a world filled with crap food all around us."
I should have been logging feelings after each meal - and headaches when they started two weeks ago. I'm doing it now - let's see what I can figure out. She also says she thinks coffee may be the issue. That some gluten sensitive people have headaches with coffee. Can I give it up? It seems to make them go away, albeit temporarily. I love it! I don't want it to be that. Please let it be that I just need more veg and fewer nuts. :-)
4:46pm - next 20oz of water. I'll finish this one, then head home for dinner and more water!
I didn't have a chance to pack a snack today, what with rushing to get here for the power outage... so I'm kind of hungry. I know I'm already way over my fat allotment for today - but, this week isn't about that. I'm back to really focusing on the measuring guides and meal planning templates from It Starts with Food. Perhaps I'm not eating enough - or not enough of some thing... this may help with sorting that out.
More later... or tomorrow.
