    Today I am at 176. I had a little boost yesterday. I took my normal pilates class in the morning. I shopped at the Farmer’s Market in Torrance and came home with wonderful fruits, vegetables, and ahi tuna. About 4pm, my friend called and asked if I would teach her yoga class at 7:30 because she had out of town company. I do not normally exercise in the evenings but this sounded like just what I needed. I had to eat a light dinner (the tuna was perfect) and then add another hour of exercise to my day which I would get paid for. That all did the trick!

    I have a migraine this morning. My migraines are hormonal and started about 10 years ago when I hit perimenopause. It’s been a long perimenopause for me. I know that I am very close to menopause but officially not there yet. I am hopeful that the migraines will go away or slow down then. Fortunately I am able to take Imitrex which knocks them out within an hour or 2. There is a correlation between being overweight and estrogen stored in the fat which could affect my migraines. We’ll see in a couple of months if I notice a difference. I do log all migraines so will have at least some anecdoctal evidence.
