Decision #5 & #6

A weirdly mixed couple of days has led me to a couple of Good Decisions and many Bad ones.

First, the good.

Good Decision #5: I baked the schnitzel for me while frying it for my family (who are very thin).

The schnitzel was not quite so delicious as usual but it was perfectly fine.

Good Decisions #6:  When I was very hungry last night, I had a small bowl of cereal instead of pigging out.

Yay me!

Now, the Bad Decisions.

I am not going to number the Bad Decisions (great name for a band, no?), but I realise that I have to record them, if only because we - meaning I - tend to block them out afterwards, as though they never happened.  Which is how I ended up in this mess.

So.  Diet coke and chips, in order to ward off a migraine.

This is my big problem.  I get migraines.  Drinking Diet Coke (for the caffeine - remember, I can't drink coffee) and eating chips often helps either delay the onset or reduce the symptoms.  So when I am out and about with things that must be done, and I feel a migraine coming on, that's what I do.

This is bad for me in the long term, but bloody good in the short term.  I've tried other combinations, but this is the most effective.  I got the headache and the flashing lights, etc, anyway, but it was later, when I was at home, where I could cope.

Since migraines are connected with stress, according to the books, I am hoping for a gradual reduction as I get fitter and healthier.  But I'm not relying on that, so I have to find another way to deal with them.  Which means, God help me, Public Transport, because if I take the migraine drugs, I can't drive.

I guess I will get more exercise that way.  Sigh.
