Ok, time for a quick update. This morning I had this huge post in my head but I forgot what the hell I was going to talk about. Oh well, so now I'll just make this up as I go.
I had my dentist appointment yesterday...I was so happy with the dentist that I decided on. It is a new office with a young dentist and a young staff. It's really high tech and a total change from the traditional dentist office that I'm used to. Some of the highlights. They show you a movie while they work on your teeth...note to self, no more comedies because I ended up laughing a couple times and the hygienist had to stop and laugh with me. They did digital x-rays so no developing film. There is a computer in the room so they are able to show you videos, your x-rays, schedule followup appointments and other things all the time while you are still in the chair. They have a little camera that takes close up images of your teeth so that you can see any problem areas.
I also have a couple cavities...my first ones since the 4th grade. My teeth don't hurt, and I truthfully I think that they've been there for a while and the other dentist that I had in Indy missed them. I knew there was a reason I got some bad mojo from them.
I also am getting free professional whitening treatments...we'll see how that goes. All in all I'm pretty excited. If anyone wants a new dentist let me know and I'll pass on the information to you on this office...I'm sure that you'll be happy.
In other news...driving 2+ hours to Susan's game tonight. I don't feel like going, but I always like watching her games. I'm feeling the same way as Amanda is, that these are the last games that she's going to be playing...so it's worth going for.
Katie is also going to start having games in the next couple weeks, so I'll be driving up north to those as well. I wish that both of them were closer, but what else can we do?
The diet is going ok...I bought some groceries again last night so now I should be all set for the next couple days. My goal is 20lbs by the wedding...I can hit that. If I do I'll be extremely happy. Today I was ok. I'm drinking a cup of green tea midmorning and mid-afternoon with a light snack to help curb my appetite. I think it works pretty good. Last year this time I was in a weight loss race with a guy and won (that one was the first to 25 lbs). This year I'm in another one, this one is most weight by March 15th. We'll see how it goes. It's all about healthy snacks and working out. I'm a habitual snacker, so having a yogurt or a banana is really key for me. Not to mention that by having a shake for breakfast and lunch speeds up my metabolism since I normally don't eat breakfast. I'm also saving some money since I'm not eating out for lunch anymore. All in all, I'm sitting pretty good. Now I just need to win and claim my steak dinner!
Ok, thats it now time to head home!
