Liquid Diet Weekend

For those of you who did not know already, Saturday was a day of misery for me. That's right, I had my wisdom teeth removed. Actually it wasn't really all that bad. In fact it was a lot easier than I was expecting. It helps when you have a really good dentist like ours. And the best part was I got to lay around and watch football all weekend. Yay football! But here's the thing though, I wasn't able to eat solid foods for the whole first day and pretty much all of yesterday as well. So instead I survived on protein shakes and soup. Finally later in the day yesterday I was able to eat some grapes and later some chicken. What is it about eating grapes that just always puts me in a good mood? I think it's because it takes me back to the days when I was a kid and I loved to snack on grapes. Or maybe it's because they're really good for you, but still taste like candy so it feels like cheating when it's actually not. Anyways, the weird thing is I thought I'd be starving all weekend long without any substantial food in my stomach, but I wasn't. I think the main reason for that is because I've been focusing on not only what it is I'm eating, but also how much of it I've been eating. So I don't need huge portions of anything to fill me up anymore. So maybe I'm making some progress after all. I may not look like a runner just yet, but at least I'm really making significant changes in my life which will ultimately help me achieve my goal and be happier and healthier.
