128 lbs n doing well

May 22, 2010

Not much to say really.

Eating well.  Doing well.

I guess if there's anything negative to be said it's that I seem to be a little depressed lately.  My kids are both teenagers now and ACTING like it.  That's got me feeling sort of like a failure as a parent.  I can't STAND smart-mouth disrespect and won't tolerate it.  So that's got me down.  But other than that, things are great!

I've MOSTLY quit chewing gum (the type I was chewing - that Trident SF "Layers" gum - was making my teeth sensitive).  It got so bad I could barely eat/drink w/out pain constantly.  So I researched online and found that chewing sugarless gum can exacerbate sensitive teeth (just like sugared gum can).  So I figured I'd quite it for a few days and see if the teeth got better.  The sensitivity was completely gone in my teeth w/in 2 day of quitting the gum.  So now I chew a different kind of sugarless gum and I chew less of it overall.

Also, after almost 6 months of being out of PB2, my order finally came in.  Since that is where I got my fruit in (apple slices dipped in PB2 mixed w/ ground golden flax seed each morning), I'm getting in my fruit again too.  So that's good. 

WARNING: POO INFO FOLLOWS...
Since I chew less sugarless gum and started getting in my fruit breakfast again, my bowel movements have solidified again.  It has gone back to a couple of big poops a day - one about an hour after breakfast and the other about an hour after my mid-afternoon snack.  So the really soft small sugar alcohol induced bowel movements throughout the day are gone again.  Good for me.  LOL
POO INFO OVER.

Hubby is doing well.  He's outside painting the house now. 

Kids are both staying all night elsewhere and they aren't home yet. 

I have to work a couple of hours this afternoon and need to do some shopping also.  Who knows when I'll work that in, but I will.

In any event, sorry I'm not updating more.  I just do it when I feel like it.  The farther out you get, you really only come on here when you feel like you need to or are bored or something.  I don't feel guilty about that anymore because I think it's natural progression, you know?
