Day 4, a migraine and why I can't quit

I woke up several times early morning like 4-6 with my head pounding.  I'd doze back up just to be woken back up by the throbbing in my brain. It was so bad I couldn't get my kids to school this morning. I finally got up at 7:30 and took some tylenol and the head ache didn't dull until 9AM. Even after 9AM I could still feel the headache and that is when I know I have a migraine. I can't get it to go away and sometimes it last all day. Once I got up I decided to try to drown it with water and drank SO much water today.  All day along with the migraine I had the biggest craving for my diet pop.  ALL DAY LONG!  Every thing I did made me want one. I normally have one while I am cooking or cleaning and have them with meals. It was about half way through the day I realized the cause of my migraine was probably sugar, aspartame and caffeine withdrawals.  I am going through withdrawals like any junky would.  I love my diet pop and really don't want to give it up at all. I miss it so much.  Heck I love a good regular cola too and I knew all I would have to do is down an ice cold coke and my migraine would magically disappear. I came close a couple times to just giving in for the sake of the pain in my head but I didn't.

I opted for the Flat Abs Fix instead of the Pilates Fix, I remember really hating it that last time I did this for a week. And as I've stated I always follow the moderator to make sure I am not over doing it as I am SO out of shape. and they kept saying the easiest way to do some of these were with your legs straight up. One problem I can't do that. If I am laying on my back my legs will not physically go straight up in the air. I am pretty sure my gut in my way is why.  My Mom tried the Full body cardio fix tonight and she made herself physically ill and a migraine kicked in. And there is one of the reasons I can't stop or quit.  Our families are trying to get healthy and desperately NEED to get healthy for actual heath reasons. Health has to stay a priority no matter how much it hurts.
