So, my head hurts. Actually, I'm sitting in my darkened office with my AC turned down really low, and it's finally feeling a little better. It's not like I even have a withdrawal headache. Nope, this headache is a direct result of eating too much crap the last couple of days, plain and simple. So I may still have a withdrawal headache to go through in a few days.
I'll tell you what, though. This is awesome motivation for not eating grains and refined sugar in mass quantities any time soon.
Basically, I had a last hurrah last night and got some Ben and Jerry's. This was after I had a Starbuck's scone for breakfast AND some pasta salad from the cafe next door for lunch.
(Side note: the pasta salad next door is AMAZING! Pasta shells, olive oil, minced garlic, sundried tomatoes and fresh spinach. So. Good. Really, the pasta is my least favorite part. I should just get the rest of the ingredients and make my own sans pasta.)
Remember when I mentioned that I think wheat might be a migraine trigger for me? I think that's been confirmed.
Basically, I kind of feel like an idiot. Why do I do these things to myself? I think I'm going to leave work a bit early after posting this and walk home. It's a lovely day outside and I think the fresh air will help.

I'm sure you must have tried this, but have you thought of getting gluten-free noodles? They're really not that bad. (So, "really not that bad" makes it sound so blase...but what I mean to say is - I think you'd like them and if all the other ingredients are what you like - then I'd give them a try!). I am doing one healthy *test* a month (since April) and June is my gluten-free month. I lost 3.4 lbs in 3 days. Darn wheat! Why does food made with it have to taste so good?!
I think the comment above is a great idea. When I eat rice flour, soy flour, nut flours, buckwheat flour, chickpea flour, corn/corn meal flour all make great pasta if you have a one of your own. You can go to www.wheat-free.org for general info and recipes. Also Dominoes now offers a gluten-free pizza fyi. Even if you just want to transition from gluten-free to Paleo it's better than having headaches. And I'm so glad you had fun with the fam. in FL. It's a great place to vacation and I haven't been back there since Mamaw sold there house so I guess Aunt Luanne is the hostess. :)
