So I had been having crazy bad headaches 🤕 and migraines. Every 1-2 days since July 14th. Taking tons of meds 💊 and no obvious cause. 🤔

Decided to take a “break” from weight lifting and HIIT.
I had a week off work so slept 8-9 hours a night. 💤
I’ve been:
- walking 🚶🏽‍♀️ daily
- a couple of walk/jog intervals 🏃🏻‍♀️
- one hike 🥾
- one bike ride 🚲 and
- now half way through the daily 3 week Yoga 🧘‍♀️ Retreat from Beachbody.

Wow!

This program is amazing. Back to basics yet challenging. I’m feeling taller, rested, calm, strong yet relaxed.

And I’ve only had two mild headaches over the last week! 🙌🏼
