Weigh-In

I've held my weight for another week which made me happy.  I really think exercise is a big factor in losing weight and also maintaining weight loss.  I am fortunate that I have found something I like and is easy for me to do.  Although getting up early and leaving in the dark and walking into rather coldish pool water takes all my will power. 
I am now keeping a food diary to track food and headaches.  I had heard that bananas are a trigger (I think I read it somewhere) so about 1/2 hour after I ate a banana this morning I got a headache.  I jotted it down.  Of course the MRI last night might play some part in today's headache, but I think food sensitivities are an issue.  Also I am going to try my hardest to stay away from wheat. 
God answered my prayers of yesterday in keeping the headache away so that wasn't an issue when I had the MRI.  The issue was CLAUSTROPHOBIA!!!!  This was the tightest MRI machine I have been in.  I guess they have several different kinds and this one was very narrow; casket-like.  I was praying the whole time and thinking about Florida.  Granted the prayer was more like "Jesus, Jesus, Lord help, me tolerate this so I can finish the test and get out of here."  He heard, He answered my prayers and those that I asked to pray for me.  Thank you Lord.
