Smiles:)

Thanks to my dear neighbor I was reminded that people actually do read my blogs!!! I apologize for not writing for over a month. Where to begin...

Ahhh yes, teeth. My mouth has been a source of pride and pain in my life. I had braces when I was 13? for approx. 5 years. Had jaw surgery, a chin added, head gear, a tooth brought down from the roof of my mouth, oh the joy! Highshcool was a wee bit of an awkward time to say the least. I definitely felt like once the braces were removed, and I got my first pair of contacts I felt like I emerged a butterfly!!! I've always been complimented on my smile. I love my smile and teeth. As of today, it's official that I will be losing a tooth, not just any tooth, the tooth right next to the front tooth. A main contender... I am only 32 and they are talking about partial dentures/a bridge. I'm really in a state of shock. My dad wants me to just yank it out and leave a big gap, which he swears will eventually be filled in by the other teeth. I just don't know what to do. I certainly don't want my finances to dictate my decision..., because then it would surely be just rip the tooth out. Sigh... I'll let you know what I decide. I feel too young to be faced with these issues!!!! I spent $200 just on getting professional opinions!!!

Anger is an emotion I avoid at all costs, but lately it's been rearing it's ugly head. I've been frustrated with the usual battles weight loss/fitness goals/work/not enough time in the day!!! I was in my friend Rachel's core conditioning class, and about 20 minutes into it, I was really mad! I was frustrated my body would not move the way I wanted it to. I just couldn't do all the plyometric jumps, my boobs were in the way, I just felt very thick and heavy.

The latest on my health plan is I am following the blood type diet. I am an O and apparently I should be eating lots of meat! I was vegan for 2 years, and vegetarian for a long time. I couldn't stand the cruelty to animals. Well, according to my blood type it was the worst thing I ever could have done. So, I'm a week in and have lost 1lb. I'm buying organic free range meat and eating fish. No, wheat/dairy/gluten. I'm going to start training for my running for the Easter Seal fundraiser. I've got new runners, I just have to hit the pavement! I think I may purchase a mini rebounder too. They have them on sale at Toys R Us. I thought instead of laying on the couch while I watch tv, I could jump instead!!! Hope you all are well!!!
