Even though I wasn't going into work today I still got up early (6:30am) so I could be ready in case the dentist could see me right away. For breakfast I ate 2 pieces of toast and a lara bar. I try to make sure I eat enough food before taking a pain pill so I don't end up throwing up. I've had that happen before and it is not fun. So that was my breakfast and I took my antibiotic and pain pill. I drank a 20 oz. bottle of water as well. The dentist was able to see me at 9:30am and he tells me I don't have a tooth infection, but that I probably have a swollen lymph node. He said the antibiotics I have should take care of that and then he gave me a prescription for pain meds. I got my prescription filled right away because I did not want to have to deal with this pain I've been having anymore. On my way home from getting my prescription I stopped at Burger King to get food for my husband and I. Now yesterday when I was waiting to be seen at Urgent Care I was reading a magazine (can't remember which one, maybe Family Circle) and it had an article about the "healthiest" meals at different fast food restaurants. I put a few in my phone so if I ate at any of those places I would know what to get. So for Burger King it was a hamburger and unsalted value fries. It listed the calories and everything in the article too, and I think this one was 400 something calories. Anyways, so that's what I got for myself and I drank a 20 oz. bottle of water with that. In case you're wondering the other 2 restaurants that I wrote down were McDonald's and KFC. For McDonald's it was a honey mustard grilled chicken wrap and a snack size fruit and walnut salad. And for KFC it was a honey bbq chicken sandwich and a large corn on the cob. Wendy's was on there too and I think it was a large chili and mandarin oranges for them, but I wouldn't eat that so I didn't write it down. Now after lunch I took a 3 hour nap, which was awesome because I haven't been sleeping lately. For a snack, once I woke up, I had a Fiber Plus bar and a weight watcher's pecan cluster. For dinner I made Chile Relleno Casserole. The recipe was for mini casseroles, but I just made one big one. Here is the recipe for anyone who is interested: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/mini_chile_relleno_casseroles.html I think it turned out well. The only thing is you really have drain the corn and chiles. Otherwise there's a liquid at the bottom, which isn't a big deal but it just looks weird. It tasted yummy, would be really yummy if you add chicken. I think I'm going to do that next time. Also, there were comments on the recipe that leftovers make really good breakfast burritos. After dinner I drank a 40 oz. bottle of water. Then for dessert I made funfetti cookies from cake mix and I had 2 of those with a Fiber Plus bar. I was taking a pain pill before bed and wanted to make sure there was enough food in my tummy. Oh, the cookies are really good. It's so easy to make cookies from cake mix too. Just add 2 eggs and a 1/2 cup of oil to the mix then scoop it out and put it on a cookie sheet. Easy! =) This morning when I weighed myself I weighed 240, down 1 lb. from yesterday! Yes! And one pound closer to saying Bye Bye to the 240's, I like seeing a new 2nd number in my weight =) I had planned on trying to do some more pilates tonight, but I've felt pretty bad all day. I can feel kind of normal for a little while, but then once the medication wears off I'm back to feeling horrible. My dentist said I should start feeling better by tomorrow afternoon, so let's hope he's right. Oh and the awesome thing today was that I could feel the pain in my abs from doing pilates. So that means it's definitely working. =) Another good thing is I drank 80 oz. of water today! Even when you're feeling pretty crappy you can still do pretty good =D
