Dentist - UGH!!

Today is dentist day.  I HATE going to the dentist.  I have a problematic tooth that is ultra sensitive - oh, such nerve zaps.  I hate it so much, I go every 3 months so it's not as long of a process - the 3 months fly.  By 11am it will be over until next year lol.

Now maybe I'm nuts, but starting this week, I'm going to use Crest White Strips for as long as my teeth can stand it.  I'm gradually getting more "yellowed" looking (hello coffee and red wine) and it's aging.  Sensitive teeth hate whitening so I probably won't be able to do it long.  We'll see - a little discomfort for beauty is just fine!

I probably need to cut out some of the coffee while I whiten - bummer.

After the dentist, I'm heading to get my nails done.  The collagen is growing long, strong nails ... but they are way too long now.  Actually, so long I need to clip rather than file.  I'm getting the same neutral color.  I love it.  Cheaper than "american" and a lot faster (I'm so impatient).  It works.

Tonight is happy hour with a friend.  We are meeting for 1/2 price wine at a local restaurant.  I'll stick to one glass (since I'm driving) and probably white since I'm whitening lol.  We might get an appetizer - I hope not because it will be something "bread and cheese."  I'll try to steer to a better option or no food ... we'll see.

This weekend is my mother's birthday in Philadelphia.  I will be drinking and eating "off plan" so I need to minimize the indulgences this week (especially after my 2 snack nights!!).

Cravings are strong at night again.  Probably from eating crappy.  Maybe a little boredom too.  The days are busy, but the nights are boring (I've been going so much lately, a night on the sofa is blasé lol).  But craving don't mean eating - choice is still (and always) mine.  I'm also a bit bored with my chili.  I cooked a bunch of stuff, but it's not wowing me.  I'm going to get lunch from a restaurant that has compliant options - change things up a bit today.

My weight set came last night.  I won't use it until Christmas, but I'm so excited.  We are trashing our elliptical in December (once boys are back to help move it) and rearranging the workout room.  The elliptical has seen better days and it aggravates my knees.  Time to say good-bye.  The room is small and packed - with the elliptical gone it will be much better.

I was up early this morning.  Eating well gets me up early.  I woke up at 4, but stayed in bed until 5 ... now it's only 6:15 ... lots of time to kill before dentist (today is a rest day).  Time can't go fast enough this morning!!  Wish me luck!
