I am shooting for a year and hoping that it doesn't take two years, like it did for one of my coworkers. This isn't my idea and I am wishing that I didn't have to get them; but thanks to genetics, I have to...My dentist was telling me, that since I don't smoke, drink soda or anything else, that my teeth are very healthy and it shouldn't take long for them to heal once this happens...I have a very good pain tolerance and I will be taking Aleve to help with the soreness...

My roommate is excited about me not drinking coffee anymore, he will have the whole bag of coffee to himself...

Have a good day,

Zimmeh

Zimmeh....

I have a few friends that have braces, and they didn't have ANY problems at all eating solid foods. I guess each person is different... but we will hope you are one of the lucky ones that doesn't have to suffer with liquid/soft food diet!

Thank you for the information and I am hoping this to!

How are you doing today?

All is well here with me.... just getting back in the full swing of tracking food and getting in some exercise. My body is still feeling a lil' sluggish right now, but it's because I ran out of multivitamins a week or so ago. But, it's on my shopping list for the day!

Glad to hear that you are doing good! I say, we should have some kind of exercise time in LR next year..This way, we all can hit the gym at once and be happy...If not, I will find some way of passing along the jokes so we all can laugh until our sides hurt..Maybe another birthday cake?

Hopefully we can plan a lil' exercise routine... even if it's just 30 minutes in the morning. I know that every second of the reunion is full of events... so maybe we can figure something out.

I gained a pound! Its my TOM, so that could be why, but I also have not been on track. UGH, why can't I just do this again like I used to... I was losing 2-3 lbs a week without fail for months.... grrr. I need to look deep inside and figure out what the dillyo is.

This week I am going to track everything... and go to the gym at least 3x this week. I also want to go back to how I used to be.. only eating natural foods... nothing processed. We will see how that goes.

((hugs to all))

Doing exactly what you just outlined should do the trick!

Don't stress Starry. Our bodies like to trick us from time to time (yeah, especially during your TOM). You've got some good ideas of what to try next!

Good luck honey and I bet you see you a loss next week!

Maybe we can walk to the restaurant, if it close enough, instead of taking the trolley?

Sleep is something that we both will be need..I still cannot believe that I only slept for less than 15 hours the whole weekend..
