The Pulled Tooth Was Good For Something
Its Friday, so I'm just going to jump right in. So despite not really exercising much this week, just on Sunday and Monday, I still managed to drop two pounds. So I'm down a total of 59 with 21 to go, and I'm 74% to my goal of dropping 80. Nice. I guess the lack of working out was aided by the fact that I didn't really eat much this week, and when I did, it wasn't much because I wasn't really in the mood to deal with pain in my mouth at all. I didn't really eat anything more than a slice or two of bread and some English muffins on Tuesday. Wednesday I had some more English muffins and some Chinese for lunch, and by Thursday I was back on my regular diet. I wish it had been 3 though, just so I could say it was an even 60 and be that much closer to having only teen numbers to go. Oh well, hopefully next week.
My mouth is healing up OK. I'm really glad I got this taken care of sooner, rather than later. I think by the time I'm in New Orleans next week I'll be completely fine, so perfect timing in that instance. I've stayed far far away from the Vicodin since Tuesday. As fun as it was being high as a kite, the after effects weren't that pleasant. I've stuck to Tylenol for the most part, and the pain is really nominal now. My mom advised to stay away from Advil and all ibuprofen for at least a week, so thats the plan.
Had my first physical therapy appointment since last Saturday last night, and I knew I'd been slacking on doing my exercises at home, I just didn't think the guy could tell just by feeling my knee. He starts massaging it and says, "The patella is a little off to the side... you been doing your homework?" Busted! I'll admit I got lazy, mostly because I was feeling better, so I thought I could slack. I just have to realize that the reason that I was feeling better was because I was doing the work, and I'm just going to get worse eventually if I don't keep doing it. Its the same with dieting and losing weight. Just because you're doing well doesn't mean you can slack off, because its all just going to come back eventually. So I'm going to stick to a regime of doing a few sets of the exercises I need to do when I wake up in the morning and again at night when I'm just watching TV or something.
Damn, I'm not even 30 and I'm falling apart!
Other than that nothing new to report. New Orleans next weekend, which will be crazy. I need to borrow my moms digital camera to document all of the debauchery. Should be fun. I may even get together with my ex that lives down there and maybe grab a meal with her and her parents. We're cool now, and who turns down a free meal? Bad I know, so sue me. I have nothing major planned this weekend. I'll probably go to my parents tonight as I have some errands to run in their town in the morning, like getting a hair cut, and thats about it.
Alright, back to work. Have a great weekend everyone!
