Headaches

Day 2 
I woke up at 4 am with a splitting headache. So painfiul, that I could not get out of bed to get any headache pills. I guess that is my body telling me something..... "Hey you...why are you depriving me of all that sugar. Where is all the fat intake I am used to? Why can't I get a food rush every hour, like I am used to?" And before you ask,... yes!... I am drinking plenty of water, and no I am not starving myself. My body is just not used to eating a normal size meal, nor is it used to eating at regular meal times. Here is my calorie intake today:-
Food Diary
Breakfast:
50g oats
Skim milk
1/2 apple grated
1tsp sultanas
= 318 cal

Lunch
Paella ( not the healthiest choice)
But I limited my portion size
= 347 cal

Dinner
1 Noodle and corn cakes
plus green salad
= 261 cal

Snacks
80g Edamame  90 cal
20 gSulatanas 58 cal
Fruit biscuits 165 cal
= 313

TOTAL 1239 cal
So as I write this, I can see that I haven't chosen exactly the type of food I should be choosing. There a lots of sugary extras.
But my calorie intake is  perfect! So I am happy.

As I mentioned I had a headache all day, so I was really not looking forward to exercising. But in my mind I could hear Michelle Bridges ( and Nike) saying "Just do it! No excuses! "
And that's what I did. I decided on an easy workout, but with lots of strength in it.
I managed
5 min warm up, knees up, run walk run walk.
3x 12 reps
Burpees
Kettlebell swings ( 12 kg)
Squats ( 12kg)
Dumbell row 5 kg
Dumbbell push press 5 kg
Step ups
Plank 1 min
Hula hoop 1.5 kg 5 mins

Do you workout if you have a headache?
