We are officially over the half way point of the 6 week ETL diet. I feel great that we have done so well. We really do need to pat ourselves on our backs. However, there's that dreaded scale. The scale...has the power to ruin my day, and it really did throw me for a loop this morning. I had a goal of 5 lbs. for the week (which I realized was tough, but I really worked hard to get there), and I weighed in 2 lbs. 10 oz. lighter this morning. It really upset me. It totally tore my morning apart. After feeling like the total pussy I was acting like, I decided to quit feeling sorry for myself and get a quick workout in before my mouth surgery.
After I got numbed up at the dentist, I was texting my friend about my weight loss,and I totally fucking lost it. It wouldn't bother me so bad, if I weren't about to turn 40. It all just hit me at once. I had to turn my phone off. Anyway, I thought I pulled myself together enough before the dentist returned, but apparently not. He thought I was freaking out about the procedure, but I told him my eyes just water a lot. haha. For fucks sake, when did I turn into the total pussy that I've become?
I did get over the lack of weight loss, though. I saw something on t.v. where they were showing 2 lbs. of fat loss. It puts it into perspective. I just get so overwhelmed that I let this happen to me, and by how far I have to go. I guess it's a battle, I'll have the rest of my life.
Anyway, the mouth surgery wasn't the worst thing ever. But the rest of today, has sucked ass. I'm in a lot of pain. All these hours later, I'm still spitting up blood. Pretty. I've been in bed most of the day, and I'm probably gong to be down for the count here very soon. I was told to eat jello, pudding, and shit like that, but of course I didn't listen (until the end of tonight). Dinner hurt like a mofo... Lesson learned.
Tomorrow will be a better day. I know. Hopefully the swelling will be down, and that should be make all the difference :)
Wow....I really sounded like a Debbie Downer, huh? Sorry about that.
Have a great night!
