Time off is hard to do!!!

I had a minor procedure done Friday morning and, in turn, have not been able to exercise. It's miserable!!! With just weeks left before the big Reveal, every day counts. Lisa (FT owner and our nutrition guru) broke her foot last month, and I completely get the frustration she feels at not being able to work out regularly, even if for me it's only a few days---it just becomes a part of you and your routine. Hopefully I'll be back in the swing of things tomorrow.

The temporary teeth are in, and I go to the color lab tomorrow so that the exact shade of white porcelin can be decided upon for the real teeth, which I'll get next Thursday. Dr. Nahata insists on getting the shade just right (which I appreciate). They have you go outside, under different kinds of lights indoors, in shady areas---to see if the color is just right in all different lighting. I can't wait to get the new teeth, in part because I have this one little piece of (plastic from the teeth, I think) something stuck between the back of these temporaries and is driving me nuts. I keep rubbing my tongue over it trying to make it go away! Because these teeth are bonded together, I cannot floss beteen them to get rid of it! I guess it will make me all the more grateful for the real ones :)

As Halloween approaches, I can proudly say that I have not had any candy. I proposely bought some of the non-chocolate ones that aren't my favorites (skittles, popcorn balls, etc)

I believe there is another reassessment scheduled this week or next, so I look forward to those results. My husband told me today I look as small as I did pre-wedding 5 years ago (and I'm wearing those clothes again too!) I am really looking forward to a little shopping spree at Macy's when this is over---I love that they have a free personal shopper to help you find the best clothes for your shape and size (I asked Santa for Macy's gift cards) :)))

Will visit with Nicole at Indra on Wednesday. My sensitive skin isn't too happy with the product she gave me to use, so she said we may have to switch it up. I really love the Smooth Infusion hair products April gave us from Aveda---they smell great and really help with flyaways and frizzies!

I miss the workouts I used to have with Cherish early on, so I'm hoping that maybe she and I can work out a plan to work out together again, whether it be on Sundays outdoors or during FT sessions. I hope she's as ready as I am about pushing hard to make the last few weeks of this EM really, really count.
