Day 10 - August 24, 2011

Once again I had a horrible night of sleep.  I woke up every hour with terrible jaw pain.  Then at 4:30am one of our dogs started barking, at nothing.  Then starting at 5:00am I woke up every 5 min., so finally at 5:30am I just got up.  I ate a Nutrigrain bar when I got up, I was feeling very hungry.  I got ready for work then at work, a little after 8am, I ate a lara bar and drank 20 oz. of water with Crystal Light Strawberry Energy.  I had a Fiber Plus bar for my mid-morning snack.  Then for lunch I had leftover tortellini, but since there wasn't very much leftover I toasted a piece of bread then put some Ragu sauce and Fat Free Cheddar Cheese on top and had that for lunch too.  I had one rectangle of a symphony chocolate bar and drank a 20 oz. bottle of water.  For my mid-afternoon snack I had a Fiber Plus bar.  Now during work all day my jaw was bothering me.  I took Aleve in the morning then took another Aleve at lunch time with 2 Tylenol.  The pain would go away for maybe an hour then come back.  So after work I decided to go to urgent care.  The doctor said he thinks I have a dental infection and I need to see my dentist and he gave me a prescription for antibiotics.  I went to the pharmacy got my prescription and picked up some more Aleve and Tylenol, then headed home.  I was feeling ok at that point, just really hungry because it was 7:00pm by then.  So I made BBQ chicken sandwiches and garlic green beans for dinner.  It was the first time I ever made green beans and they turned out pretty good.  And for the chicken I actually used the chicken from a can, yes I know that sounds so gross.  It turned out really good though.  I shredded it up and put it in a pan with BBQ sauce and you never would've known it came from a can.  After dinner my jaw pain was so excruciating I just didn't know what to do with myself.  I called my dentist and left a message to get an appt. right away tomorrow morning.  I called my boss and told her I'd probably be late or not be coming in tomorrow at all.  I ended up putting ice on my jaw and took some more pain relievers and just laid down.  The suckiest thing is I really, really wanted to do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred as my workout today.  And because of my jaw I didn't get to workout at all.  So hopefully I can see my dentist tomorrow and get this fixed so I can get back on track with my working out.  Oh Oh, I'm also looking into getting an elliptical or treadmill!  Yay!  I'll be so excited if I get one.  Ok I did remember to weigh myself this morning and I weighed 241 =(  That's up .4 lbs. from Monday.  I know, that's pretty much nothing.  It's still disappointing to me though.  Good news is I drank about 10 - 8 oz. glasses of water today!  Let's hope tomorrow is a better day and I can workout. =)
