Gonna make a change

As I lay here with my heating pad on my head dealing with yet another migraine, I am even more motivated to start on mine and Ken's new "project" called Zija. It's basically an all natural line of products that stem from a plant called Moringa. And it's my hopes that this wonderful plant will aid in curing me of these monsterous headaches that I have had for YEARS. At my breaking point with one or two migraines a week, I recently visited a neurologist here who recommended preventative migraine medication in the form of an anti depressant. I am not depressed by any means but apparently those type medications can be used for other things. He told me that I don't have to take the medication but needed to find some other way of dealing with them if I didn't want to take medicine. Weighing my options, I decided not to go down that road and look for a non medicated approach to my headaches. In comes Zija. My good friend here, Jen is big into health and wellness and staying her super skinny self. And a few months ago started her new Zija project. Me being the not so super skinny, not into health and wellness person, she really didn't push the subject on me very much. But now I'm motivated not so much for the weight management although if I lost a few pounds a long the way it wouldn't be the worst thing. : ) but so that I can just live a normal life without having headaches. I have decided that it's time for a change. Time to get healthy and take care of myself so that I can take better care of my daughter. She doesn't understand when mommy doesn't feel well but just knows "mommy hurt" and gives my forehead a kiss. I wish that's all it took to get rid of the pain but unfortunately it's going to take some work on my part to get healthy and hopefully get rid of the headaches. Ken is hoping to get back to his "pre marriage" weight. : ) And the products aid in weight management as well. SO...consider this sort of a "before" blog and I'll update everyone on our progress during this journey.
