Krista I feel your pain!  I had a tooth crack right before my surgery but didn't have time to deal with it.  The pain meds in the hospital helped but as soon as I stopped them when I got home I thought I was going to die.  Begged the surgeon to just pull it out-he was just going to look at it and book a follow up appt to yank it-I told him I wasn't leaving till it was out of my mouth!  What a relief after.  Tooth pain is the worse.  The surgery was a walk in the park.

Great start to your retirement Barb!!

Slept until 4:45 today. Started the special sleep drops, but it takes awhile to kick in apparently. I forgot my lunch at home :-(...but will have it for dinner instead :-) I also had a long ride into work today, and got a bit low-surgery-shaky and I came in and grabbed left over pepperoni and cheese from last night. Not much, but full of calories. Didn't fill me either....boo. I feel this might be a hollow-leg day!  

Spinning at lunch (see how much I make it through...). So, here is the plan for today;

B: marble cheese, and a few pepperoni slices. Goat yogurt, Holy Crap cereal and nsa pudding (might switch that up with another yogurt)

S: grande skinny vanilla latte

L: turkey spinach meatball, kale and corn salad

S: diet cheesecake

D: pork tenderloin stir fry

Had another bad day yesterday. But I wrote down everything that was bothering me and forced myself to think about it. Usually I just feel like crap but fail to recognise what it is that is really making me feel this way. I realised it is a combination of a lot of things I need to work on. Some like my job I will just have to suck up and put up with for a few more years. Had an interesting talk with my boss this morning. She knows I am not happy but neither is she. When we left U of T it changed both our jobs and not for the better.

So I came in late today and used the time this morning to exercise. Seemed to help elevate my mood. I am doing physio exercises as well. Which is giving me a sore butt. The exercises are targeting the muscle on the back of my leg and the glutes.

b greek yogurt, granola, raspberries

s yogurt, baby bel

Hey Pat - sorry your job sucks, is there some solace or joy that you can cultivate w your manager related to the common experience?

Glad you are feeling better Kelly Belly.

Had my 3 m TWH appts yesterday (at 4 m).  Katie told me to eat more (yay!, although its not like I've been trying not to) and we talked about a number, I was originally thinking 150 but have since changed to 135-145 which is in my BMI range - I'll be thrilled no matter what.
