Thursday has arrived. Yesterday I was at a dead run pretty much all day. I was so tired when I got home!! I made a big salad full of good crunchy veggies and boneless chicken breast! It was delish!! I also treated myself to a lime vodka and coke ... which also was quite delicious.

Today it is overcast. Rumor has it we have rain arriving sometime today. I have an appointment with the dentist this morning to address my bum tooth and one appointment early this afternoon. I would like to get at least one report done today and may go home early ... as I ended up working 9.5 hours yesterday!! I am staying home tomorrow to make up for having too many hours last pay period. I 'should' work ... but I will not!!! The work will always be there ... and I am looking forward to a 4-day weekend!!!

Tomorrow I get to weigh in!!! I do know that my rings are loose on my fingers. At least that should mean I am not retaining water. I'm curious to see where I am at. I am trying NOT to expect a loss. I hope I do NOT have a gain. I realize it is what it is and it is a matter of just continuing in my journey. Life is good no matter what the scale says!!

So let me ponder a few things to be grateful for this morning ...

1. 4 days off in a row beginning tomorrrow ... 2 of them I get paid for!!

2. getting my tooth taken care of today

3. having a migraine aura this morning (in the middle of my Pilates work out!!) that did not turn into pain in my head

4. looking forward to seeing my youngest son tomorrow evening and BBQing steaks to eat with the family

5. enjoying the bits of new bright green on the tips of many of the pine trees on our property ... I am so blessed to live in such a beautiful area!!

I hope this finds all of you well today. I read an interesting article a colleague shared with me about dealing with stress. She practices a buddhist approach to life and the article addressed a concept they named "cognitive shock" and how we attempt to flee from the moment when we encounter difficulties in life. It made me think. Difficulties are inherent in life. It is much easier to be 'in the moment' when things are smooth in our lives. If anyone is interested in reading this let me know ... perhaps I can scan it and share it. In the meantime ... be kind to yourselves. Risk seeing the beauty you possess ... it isn't vain, it isn't self-centered, we all have beauty within ourselves!! Take care!!

Hello Moose! 4 days off is great news, but if you have to work overtime the rest of the week to enjoy them of course it doesn't sound that great lol... I am interested in this article, if you find a way to share it with us that would be great! Have a great day, good luck with the dentist...

01 heinä 10 jäseneltä: jessyline

Hooray for days off! Good luck at the dentist, and have a great day! I'll try to see the beauty in myself today. I had a hard time last night when I accidentally looked into the magnifying mirror side of my mirror! Holy cow! Some things just don't need to be magnified! LOL!

01 heinä 10 jäseneltä: amryk

LOL Amy!!! Fortunately I have avoided the magnifying mirror!!! I find those silly mirrors at carnivals ... the ones that make you look long and lean are fun ... but I care not for the others!!!

01 heinä 10 jäseneltä: madaboutmoose

The true test of a positive attitude....a visit to the dentist! lol Good luck with that. :)

That sounds like a great article and I would love to read it. I am so glad you are going to finally get your tooth fixed. You have been suffering with it way too long. It sounds like you are going to have a great weekend even if it does rain and you get to see your son too. I love lime vodka too and have it sometimes with lime coke...Have a great day Carol and talk to you soon. I responded to you pm I received this morning and it's probably way tooo long....sorry buddy!

01 heinä 10 jäseneltä: chattycathy1955

Lime vodka...I might have to try that. Right now my only drink is vodka and white grapefruit juice. Ok, forgive me but I have to ask, what is a migraine aura?

01 heinä 10 jäseneltä: ImLuuvd

Have fun seeing your son and having family time!!! :)

01 heinä 10 jäseneltä: Chris1979

A migraine aura is a visual warning I get that indicates a migraine is on the way. For me that means my vision goes blurry and I get what look like lightning bolts in my vision. It lasts for about 15 to 20 minutes and then ... if the medication did not interrupt the migraine I am in pain for a few hours. This morning the medication worked (YES!!) and I simply went about my day. Needless to say I am not a fan of black lights and pulsating lights!! LOL!!

Dental UPDATE. TWO root canals today. I knew I need one, but two??? And the topper ... THREE crowns needed. I'm praying for money from heaven to fall!! LOL!!! What can you do? I need my teeth since I like to eat so much!! At least the dentist is very skilled and pleasant enough to be around.

01 heinä 10 jäseneltä: madaboutmoose

Oh, man. I feel your pain with the teeth. Literally. I broke a corner of my tooth with the temp crown last week on some stupid pretzels I didn't need to eat after going out with my husband. I think it's the tooth that broke and not the crown. I'm worried now that the crown I've half paid for won't fit. Eep. I won't be able to pay for the crown till Aug. (They want the remaining $ up front. After the dentist was like, Don't worry, the receptionist will work out a payment plan with you. Plan is that I have to pay it all up by the time the procedure is done.) FIE TEETH! At least your dentist did the work. You'll get it paid off. At least the rot is gone and so is the pain.

Sounds to me like your doing fine - your weigh in is tomorrow, and I'm sure you will not have a gain. As far as your rain - can you send it to Jersey? My grass is se dead, its to hard to walk on in bare feet! Have a good one, and have a great time on your mini-vaca!!!

01 heinä 10 jäseneltä: MomofTwoGirls

Oh two root canals! Wow! I hope you are feeling better now that you've got them taken care of. I hope you are home now and having a relaxing evening. I am still at my moms but wanted to thank you for all your support today.

01 heinä 10 jäseneltä: chattycathy1955

I think we need a support group for bum teeth. We can prob start one up me, you and beets. May the $$ fall from heavens or somewhere and soon. Will you become a snowbird when you retire? Save your teeth prob for then, and only SB know why they pick my town (beats me, nothing is here) but they do and they go to mexico for EVERYTHING! OH, and do share that article w/ ME! :) Please.

That salad sure sounds good to me. Too bad I'm already overdrawn in calories today (1200+) and will have to rely on discipline to hold it right there until tomorrow. I'm interested in the "cognitive shock" article, although I suspect that the gist of it is that since life inevitably involves a degree of suffering, we should welcome the opportunity to encounter the difficulties that are presented to us promptly, rather than turn away from them. I wonder if you are not stressing out more with the weekly weigh-in than with the daily weigh-in. ;-) Have a good evening moose!

P.S. I love it that all these women on FS seem to drink like fish. :-)

01 heinä 10 jäseneltä: information

LOL

01 heinä 10 jäseneltä: cindyshine

Oh Info ... you know we are mostly TALK!!! However ... I must confess ... there are times ... and such fun times they are!! The trick I've found in my old age is drinking enough to have fun but not enough to be ill!!! Everything in moderation, right? I think my teeth need to learn moderation!! As for the weekly weigh in ... I don't think I am stressing anymore ... perhaps differently though ... just feel like mixing it up!!! I'll have to figure out a way to share the article.

01 heinä 10 jäseneltä: madaboutmoose

the lime vodka and soda sounds great...might just have to try it...sorry about your teeth...that sounds terrible...

01 heinä 10 jäseneltä: veggies yuk

Yes, I am very interested in reading the article as it is difficult for me to stay awake in the moment when difficult issues arise. Fleeing from the moment when encountering difficulties in life are sometimes very harmful to ones being, depending on what we flee to or with. I imagine one can learn to ride these tidal waves in life much easier if they have some tools and knowledge to stay calm under certain situations. I surely hope your dental work is going well as that too can be pure hell. Just the bill alone. TOWANDA!!

Hi, Moose! Hope you have good weather for your days off - I also have 4 days off! Congrats of avoiding the migraine too.
