Ah...finally posting in the present. I've been out of commission since last Friday because I had my bottom wisdom teeth taken out by an oral surgeon. The weekend, including Monday, went by in a haze--I was loaded with pain killers and antibiotics. I spent almost the entire time sleeping in bed, or immersed in the magical world of Harry Potter. My cats were more than pleased at my planting roots in bed.
However, getting back to my active, healthy lifestyle has been a challenge. Returning to work on Tuesday was tough. I find that I'm still tired and achy and sore. The walking I do everyday tires me out--it generally doesn't. I'm afraid to get back on the treadmill because I don't want to find I'm not as in shape as I was before this week of drudgery.
Back to it I will get though. Luckily, I ate healthy, soft foods the entire time, so I haven't gained any weight. I made sure I ate high-calorie foods since I was eating less because I didn't want to go into the dreaded starvation mode. That seems to have worked.
Now, I just need to get my energy levels back up, so I can get the cardio levels back up.
In the meantime, I'm sharing some yummy snacks with you. Click here to check out some 130 calorie blueberry muffins, with a hint of lemon/lime that gives it a kick (alter the ingredients to make it even less calories). And, click here to find a recipe for some wonderfully healthy 100 calorie pancakes (for when you need a special breakfast treat). Whole wheat packs in the fiber and vitamins, so make sure you use it.
Let me know what you think!

Putting it to the Test!

Ouch. I had my bottom wisdom teeth pulled out last year, the surgeon was amazing though, he did it in under 30 minutes. And on the same day, I shoved a whole pint of ice cream down my throat. Very anti-diet. I read the entry above and I don't know how you people do it, a salad for lunch? It seems to be working anyways. Good luck!
