Headache

I get headaches.  Bad ones.  If my life isn't completely in balance, I am in pain.  Meaning, if I don't eat right, I hurt.  If I don't get enough sleep, I hurt.  If I don't get enough exercise my legs hurt {RLS.  But that is a different story}.  If I am under stress, my head hurts.  There are so many things that cause headaches, and I have been dealing with one for about a week now.  The funny thing is, it is always for a different reason.  Last week it was hurting because of lack of sleep.  Then when I got caught up it was due to bad foods.  Now, it is still hurting.  The only thing I can figure is because my body is going into sugar detox.  But due to all the water I am drinking, I have no desire to eat sweets.  Awesome.

Also, I am pretty excited about my breakfasts I have been having.  I don't like cow's milk, and so I have been making oatmeal to eat without milk.  Kind of thick sometimes, but what can you do?  I don't want to add sugar to it, because I know if I eat any, I will just start to crave it again, and I don't want that.  So, today I figured out the perfect way to eat it.  While the oats are cooking, I add some cinnamon, mace, and nutmeg.  After I dish it into the bowls, I cut up some bananas to go in, and add some craisins.  Delicious!  I may never go back.  I love it when I figure things out like that and both my mouth and my body are happy.  So awesome.

And so, I am hoping the headache will go away in a few days.  I know it isn't due to dehydration {I have been drinking about 16 cups of water a day.  At least.  I just crave it all the time now}, sugar, refined flour or hydrogenated oils {the things that used to cause the headaches} so I am at a loss.  I may have to do some meditating to figure out what it is my body needs or doesn't want.  But that is the joy of this quest for wellness.  I will be able to read my body a whole let better.
