Long day... however with only one glass of tea I survived on only water! Yes now at 10 pm I am tired but it isn't because I didn't have caffeine or sugar in my system... in fact I'm tired right now because it was quite the opposite. I had no withdrawal symptoms again today!
Yes you read that right... no withdrawal symptoms! Not even sugar cravings! Maybe it's because I'm motivated. Maybe it's because I am too busy to notice.
Today we hit the ground running, and with a 10 month old very active baby boy in tow I'm guessing you can imagine. Lucky for me there was 3 of us to pass him back and forth during the day. My husband, daughter, and I all got to go to the dentist today... Exciting! But see more than that, our dentist is in Bakersfield which is generally an hours drive (give or take) so when we go, we try to shove as much into one trip as we can before heading back home to Podunk (See it normally means hitting a huge box store and a huge grocery chain which of course we did)
I am glad to report I did not have an infection in my tooth and did not need to get a root canal done, I just need to have another filling put it. Next month I have an appointment to get my gums cleaned to take care of the periodontal (aka gum disease) and have that health issue taken care of then to get my eyes rechecked and new glasses made. Again I say this because right now those seem to be my major health issues and this is about getting my health life back in order and encouraging others (that's you) to do the same! Gum disease can cause major infections, effect your heart, eyes, blood sugar levels aka GET IT CHECKED OUT AND TAKEN CARE OF! that being said...
Breakfast:
1 and 1/2 egg muffin and sausage
Lunch:
Unlimited salad, soup, breadsticks at olive garden (enough said) (it was a post dental lunch menu prices treat!)
Dinner:
Left over home made potato salad and a few grapes (should have had a healthier dinner but I am exhausted and it was readily available... I need to buy some nuts, should have bought some today but didn't think about it)
exercise:
Shopping and housecleaning and yes housecleaning counts
Again I am working on it, I get to go do a big shopping trip next week, today was in prep for a potluck luau I am hosting on Saturday, the next few days will be a blur. But I think cutting out the soda, coffee, ice cream, donuts, chocolate... you get the idea. I'm feeling pretty good with the little big steps I am making! I encourage everyone to make a little step... it's a bigger step than not doing anything at all.
