Drooling all over myself

Last night I set two alarms to make sure I got up. And it worked! I got up. For a second to shut the alarms off and go back to bed. Bad, bad, bad. I'm just so tired and I have a bad feeling that I'm getting sick again because my throat and ears are hurting. So, I'm using that as my excuse for staying in bed this morning. But, dang it. I want this. I want to be healthier. I want to lose weight. And I am getting up tomorrow morning and going to the gym tomorrow, even if it kills me and I hate myself the entire time I'm there.


Anywho, I did get up early enough to bike to work today. So, I prepped my snacks, scarfed down breakfast and enjoyed a tiny bit of exercise this morning.

Once at work, I did little bits of work that needed to be done and sat through the Wellness Initiative Kick-off that Lubrizol is having. They're trying to promote healthy activities (mostly to reduce their health care costs) and we're getting pumped up for them to save money our own health!


Then I biked home for lunch where I had this:

After lunch, I drove back to work where I did a tiny amount of work before leaving for my dentist's appointment. I was scheduled to have a filling because I had a deep cavity caused by my teeth being so close together (this is caused by my tiny mouth - that's right, folks. I said tiny). So they numbed me up, did their thing and I was home by 4:40.


Once home, I threw on my gym clothes and headed for another training session with Mark since he canceled on me for tomorrow. Today we did some cardio stuff, but I was mostly worried that I was drooling without knowing it. I don't know if you've ever been numbed up, but your lip feels as though it's a billion sizes too big and your cheek feels puffy. But everything looks normal - which is good and bad because people don't know why you have drool on you that you're not wiping away, but drooling you also doesn't look like some misshapen ogre. So, needless to say, my work out was rough because my mouth was super dry since I struggled with drinking...


When I got home, I made up another dinner wrap dealio.

Started with some honey ham and cheese on a tortilla

I heated up the tortilla and then added some spinach

Then I added a lot of tomatoes

I added some of my favorite dressing

And voila! Dinner!

I tried to roll it up, but it wouldn't stay

It was a struggle eating dinner and I spilled quite a bit on my plate, but the wrap was pretty good. I think I could have used less or no dressing because that was what pretty much overwhelmed the whole thing. Perhaps I'll try again tomorrow.


After dinner, I finally watched the Bachelorette and Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition. Both were mediocre at best, but it gave me something to do since I didn't feel up to doing much while I was still numb. Oh, and I took pics of my cat and ate a yogurt.

It took about 3.5 hours for the numbness to go away. The dentist told me 1.5-2. Lies! And now my jaw hurts. Great.


Anywho, I'm off to bed so I can get my lazy ass to the gym tomorrow. I kinda don't have a choice since I promised myself 3x this week...


Have you ever had a cavity? I don't even know how many I've had in my life. If I had to guess, I'd say a lot.
