Monday

Ok, so this morning was the weigh-in! Don't get me wrong - I don't just weigh on Mondays or anything. I am neurotic and weigh everyday, but I was gone all weekend and didn't have a scale, so I have been greatly anticipating weighing this morning. So, I started my Atkins diet on Thursday and weighed 160 lbs. This morning....154! I couldn't believe it!! The cruise is in 5 days, so what are the chances that i'll be down to 150 by then? It's looking good! I am really excited and it hasn't been that hard sticking to the diet.

Now, for the not so great news! I called my dentist again this morning and told her how bad my tooth was hurting, plus I have 101 fever, so she wanted me to come in AGAIN! This was my 3rd visit in 10 days. She says I need to have a root canal done and to do it NOW so it is feeling better by the cruise. She gave me an antibiotic and some pain medicine and I'll be going to an Endodontist at 6:50 am tomorrow. Yikes! I keep thinking about my friend, Lesley's 9 year old son who just had a root canal done and was eating cake the same night. I hope I do as well as him!!!

Other than the dentist visit, I have spent the whole day in bed. Cameron came home from his dad's this morning and is having his girlfriend over this evening. Walter is going to cook dinner when he gets home, so I will probably just sleep!

Yay for you on the weight loss. I know you were happy when you saw the results. Sounds like you're following a simple eating plan and the food isn't bad at all.

Sorry your tooth is still giving you problems. I hate that you haven't felt good today. Rest will do you good. Hope the meds start working really soon.

Woohooo on losing the weight! I'm going to go get some stuff for the diet on Wednesday.

I hope you start feeling better. Shayne had a root canal done and he said that it wasn't bad at all!

Wow!!! 6 pounds in ONE week!! Thats just awesome!! That Atkins diet works! I am so proud of you!!! Keep up the good work :-)

Are you kidding?? You need a root canal??? I wish I had known in time, I would have sent Lane with you for good luck :-) Mimi has had several root canals, and she agrees with Lane and Shayne about them not being too bad. I hope you feel better SOON, like today! Let us know how it goes... I'll be thinking about you :-)
