Yesterday MPD and I had a delightful day visiting Jamie and company. But...here is what I ate and drank during the day:
- 1 large iced tea upon waking
- 2 large iced coffees with cream and Splenda, on the road trip to Jamie's
- 1 piece delicious chocolate velvet cake, made by Chef Jamie
- 1 serving Thai peanut chicken, Chef Jamie again
- 1 sinfully delicious Trader Joe's dark chocolate bar (yes, all of it)
- 1 large McDonald's Diet Coke to go w/the chocolate bar, on my way home
By the time I got back to pick WWD up at school by 3:15, My. Head. Hurt. So. Bad. I just wanted to stick my whole head in a cooler of ice. Seriously--I haven't had this bad of a headache in recent memory. Maybe it was even a migraine. I was just wasted for the whole evening--I started drinking lots of water, took a Tylenol, and ate a salad with the kids' dinner. A few hours later when I collapsed into bed, the headache was finally going away.
Do I need any more evidence that too much sugar and caffeine is bad for me? Not to mention the aspartame in that Diet Coke--and yes, for the most part, I'm still abstaining from that particular poison. It's clear, obvious cause and effect...eating bad stuff=feeling bad. Simple, right?
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that Bill was re-living his bartender days the night before, and I had 1-2-3 tasty cocktails and stayed up late. Might that have had something to do with my splitting headache? Nah.
