I had a near death experience yesterday on the way to the dentist for a routine cleaning. I swerved to avoid a car that was drifting into my lane and (for some reason unknown to me.) my car spun around. I was so lucky. I didn't hit anyone. I ended up pointed in the wrong direction on the freeway. No one was angry, the semi truck did not hit me and I was able to get my car started again. Needless to say, I was a bit shaken up from that.

I did go to the dentist. Apparently I must have a rear molar removed and a cavity filled. The molar was a root canal performed over 17 years ago and the root has split and its infected. At least it doesn't hurt. I have an appointment for Friday afternoon. I'm a little bit scared about that, I've elected to go with the local anesthetic instead of a general because they make you fast for a long time and I don't think that would be good for my blood sugar. I don't do well skipping lunch.

This morning, I went for a hike/joggle and then I did stretch max/bands. Tomorrow I have LIC planned, but it depends, my lower body is sore from yesterday's kettle bell workout.

How are you girls?

Alisha ~ OMG!!! Thank goodness you are fine. What a scary thing to happen. Once while I was driving in the early morning, a car came over a hill that I was climbing and was in my lane. I can't even remember what I did but the car ended up seeing me, went into the correct lane, then back into my lane then off the road. Luckily he didn't hit anything. It was very scary.

Sorry about your molar. That doesn't sound good but I'm sure you'll be fine. I would have taken the local as well. I'll be sending you good
thoughts on Friday.

Hi Tricia!

Alisha - OMG! I'm so glad you are okay! How terrifying! Sorry about your dental outcome! Ugh! I would go general only because local doesn't work well on me and I'm terrified of the dentist too. My BP would be through the roof!

Jane- you just keep working those great workouts!

I've been having an off week. No workouts, but I've been eating well!

Not much else going on. Just trying to get through each day.

Have a good Thursday!

Yesterday I did lots of weed eating instead of a workout. I wanted to get that done before I had to take a couple of days off because of my tooth.

Tricia- Eating well is not easy, good for you!!!

Jane-I will definitely keep the taebo in my rotation! Good job on your workouts!
How was your race?

5K race is tonight. It will be full of gnats, I'm sure. This is the 5th time I'm doing this race and last year was the worst of all with the gnats. We'll see what it will be like tonight.

Alisha ~ Sending you good thoughts today. Weed Eating is a pretty good workout.

Tricia ~ Glad to hear you are eating well.

I'm so happy it's Friday!!! I'm leaving at 4 today. Tomorrow is a shopping day with mom. Love to go shopping with mom. Then maybe a swim in the afternoon.

TGIF!

The whole process was surreal, but that old tooth is now gone. I'm not allowed to workout for a couple of days. I have to wait until it has stopped bleeding (yuck.) Eating is not on my list of fun things to do right now, maybe I will lose a couple of pounds!

Jane- How was your race? Did you eat any gnats? I always end up inhaling a tiny bug or two when I run. Its so gross.

Tricia-How is Peanut? Had a good workout today? Are you still eating raw?

I posted The other night! It disappeared! : (

Alisha - glad all went well at the dentist!

I did finally workout today. Did Low Impact Challenge. Like that one a lot, but can't wait to get all the moves down! Did great until the later combos. Those got fast and furious! lol

I'm making a new commitment to be not myself. No more laziness, no more me-bashing, no more sleeping in! Getting myself a new image and a little more self-confidence . . .hopefully. Going to try really hard anyway!

Jane - WTG on your Gnat 5K!

[syzygy314]

Oops! Alisha, thanks for asking about Peanut! She's doing okay. She gets excited or happy sometimes and forgets she can't get around fast and bumps into everything! It's cute and sad at the same time!

Tricia- I hate it when the computer eats the post. I also have found LIC to be challenging choreography. Sometimes I just do something else until they come back to where I am.

Jane- How was that 5k? It seems like you need a gnat mask.

I am still on rest because of my tooth. I'm not even allowed to bend over. Sheesh. I'm able to eat on the other side of my mouth. I had ravioli for breakfast. That was easy to eat. I'm not allowed to workout until it has completely stopped bleeding.

Alisha, you'll be up and grooving again in no time! Hope your weekend was a good one even with recovering from that dental visit!

The sun finally came back out here this afternoon. Not for long though. We have more rain moving in for a few days. Not going to complain because we need it! Stephen is going to Chicago on Thursday for a conference. He's presenting a paper on R in Finance there and will be home on Sunday. Wish I could have gone, too, but one of my co-workers already has a trip this week. Oh, well.

Hi Jane!

Just got Ani Phyo's 15-Day Fat Blast and am planning to start that next week- as soon as I read through it so I know how it works and I won't have any setbacks! Excited to try it!

Going for a run tomorrow. Going to go back to my original plan and integrate running with my Cathe workouts.
