Yippeee!!! and Grrrrrr!!!
Just had to come here to try to sort a few things out mentally. Well first, I finally made the 10 lb club. Hooray for me!!!! 10.5 thank you very much ~ i would LOVE one of those high tech scales that would say 10.75 lbs BUT alas, I will stick to my scale that only weighs in half-pound increments. Diet wise, I am feeling motivated, personal-wise is another story. Unfortunately, sometimes, they go hand in hand but I am trying to stick it out. I am just feeling kinda funky today. Could it possibly be that i had a dentist appt. for the second part of my root canal? I stick to the "SAY NO TO DRUGS" but i forgot to remind my body that novocaine should be on the list of "approved drugs". None the less, I seem to have become partially immune to the effects of novocaine. After receiving enough novocaine to numb the entire body of a brontosaurus, I still proceeded to jump out of the dentist's chair. And NO, I did not psyche myself into believing that the pressure I felt was actually pain, IT TRULY WAS PAIN!!! Well, I will make a long story short by saying I literally lost count as to how many needles I was given and still was not totally numb. This does not make for a wonderful evening. Now that the novocaine has worn off (not that it ever took full effect but at least the left side of my face is functional again), my jaw and gums are sore as H-E-double hockey sticks. There is no pain in the tooth but ironically, I am in more pain than before the root canal ~GO FIGURE! Either way, my son has driven me crazy for the evening and I've just been a grouch (he's tried to help by offering to make me tea or get me something to eat). O.k. sonny boy, thanks but no thanks, I can't chew without ingesting a large piece of my tongue and inner cheek, nor can I decipher how HOT the tea is. I will have to apologize for my grouchiness tomorrow but until then...Son, TAKE YOUR BUTT TO BED. Since this is a weightloss blog and not an "I hate the dentist" blog, I will once again say Yippee!! to me for losing the 10.5lbs. Then again, this is MY BLOG so... I HATE THE DENTIST AND HIS STUPID NOVOCAINE FILLED, PTERADACTYL SIZED NEEDLES. Good night!
