October 03, 2007 (Skipped a day, but for good reason...)

Good morning!

Yesterday (Tuesday) I woke up at 7:30 a.m after barely sleeping for an hour and went to the dentist. Things sort of snowballed from there, and by the time I was done, four teeth had been worked over (in four hours) and my teeth were chattering as a result of the pain! Ugh. So I didn't manage to get anything posted here because of first, the early appointment, and then, the large quantities of drugs I pumped into my system to try and tame the pain.

Anyway, both Monday and Tuesday weren't bad days. Monday, I had my usual can of soup for lunch, and then chicken tikka masala for dinner. I have no clue what goes into the chicken dish (from my favorite local Indian restaurant) but it can't be good (otherwise it wouldn't taste soooo delicious). It was accompanied by rice and garlic naan (probably fried in lard or something else to make it too taste wonderful). And yesterday I didn't eat anything until dinner when I had a chicken noodle dish from a Singapore restaurant, and a piece of chicken and some rice. Probably not good for me either (though, truthfully, it wasn't as good as the Indian food the night before).

Exercise-wise, I managed to hike Runyon on Monday, as well as three 1-mile walks with the pup, and yesterday, got in three walks (but no hike).

Today should be no different than most. If I'm feeling up to it, I'll go for another hike.

Thanks for reading!!
