Migraine, Migraine Go Away

I haven't written in quite a while because I have been having migraines pretty often. Ever since I was little I would have migraines but as I got older they became fewer and fewer apart. However, starting at the end of last year I started getting them every other day and sometimes every day. I went to the doctor multiple times and tried several medicines but none worked. That is when I tried to see if there was some home remedy that may at least help alleviate some of the pain.

I am happy to report that I am now migraine free (besides one small headache) for 18 days! I don't quite know what helped because I changed a bit in my routine and diet but I am going to keep my changes in place and hopefully my migraines will keep at bay.

Things I changed to help with my migraines:
Completely took out all animal products from my diet.
Upped my water intake.
Started taking magnesium supplements.
Had back and neck massages often.
Tracked my migraines.
Cut down on screen time (Instagram, Facebook, Email, TV, etc.)

If anyone suffers from migraines I would suggest that they download a migraine tracker app. I did and it helped me figure out my triggers, symptoms, and what helped relieve the pain. The app I am currently using is called Migraine Buddy.

Since I haven't had a migraine in a while I have been running more, been doing HIIT, and yoga.

Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run

Today my husband and I completed the Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run! We got there at 07:30 bright and early. Before we went I ate a little bit of fruit and packed some things we might need (lots of towels, baby wipes, eye drops, snacks for afterwards, water, and electrolytes). I really enjoyed myself and it was empowering to accomplish it! Jake and I did it together all the way through. I'm so thankful that I have such an amazing husband that is so patient with me and helped me all the way through the event. The event was just short of 6 miles. It had over ten obstacles and included mud pits and a run through the woods that was very muddy! At the end we got some free water, Gatorade, fruit, snacks, and beer! I was very surprised but my Fitbit Surge held up pretty well! The only thing is when we got sprayed with water at the end, the force of the water must have hit one of the buttons and it turned off my Fitbit. That was as we were crossing the finis...

My First Day at GNC

Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!
