My visit yesterday to the dentist was, well, typical. They put me on the gas, which I think wasn't turned up enough because I was just a little bit relaxed, not the typical I am in a another world feeling. They started drilling away at my cavities when BAM I felt pain. They gave me another shot and then another BAM I still feel the pain. They informed me that this tooth was past the point of needing a cavity and yep you guessed it, another root canal. This will be my third since July. They proceeded to fill the other 3 and give me my referral and send me on my way. I can not tell you how much I don't want another root canal. After a root canal my mouth is sore for a week and that always means a crown as well. Luckily I am not feeling as down with this one. Last time I was worried about the expenses that comes with a root canal. Yes I am still a little worried because it's another $910 (root canal + crown), but with two incomes now I feel it's a more manageable without digging deeper into our savings.
This morning we went to Weight Watchers. I have lost another amazing 3.6lbs. Can you believe that?? I have never lost this much weight in three continuous weeks. I am pretty proud of myself. And this week was a tough one. Two luncheons plus a couple emotional eats I was sure that I had just lost a pound or so. Really shows that by us adjusting our menu when we eat more at lunch is working. Laura lost an amazing 4lbs as well. Go Laura. This is the first time that I have been eating a very healthy diet as well as taking my diabetes meds on a daily basis, so I am sure that has a lot to do with it as well. Since going to Weight Watchers 3 weeks ago I have lost 9lbs total. And this is just the beginning.
Tomorrow Laura and I are going to the casino with her parents. I simply can't wait. My downfall when it comes to spending money in useless places is the casino. Hopefully with her parents there I will watch myself a little more. I am hoping for the big win, but Laura reassures me once again I will just be donating money to the casino. A girl can still wish.

Way to GO on the weight loss!
OK, you 2 are NOT awesome. But you ARE pretty amazing. So there!! Keep up the good work!
Sorry about the teeth, but I think you'll find it slowing down with your health back on track. Good luck.
karen--i hated to hear about the root canal as well, but it's gotta be done

onecrazylady--thanks
lynilu--i think i have already noticed some slowing down in the teeth problems.
I've never had a root canal but I've heard so many horror stories, I really feel for you having your THIRD!!!
Weight Watchers is one of the only diet programs that I think really 'works'. Maybe because it's just common sense, not a crazy fad. 9 lbs is impressive in such a short time.
The weight loss is fabulous. Are you guys following the WW diets, or something else?
sandra--we also like weight watchers because it's very easy to follow. when your points are gone, you are done for the day.
sassy--yes we are following weight watchers.
You are so right.. a girl CAN still wish! :) I'm always wishing and hoping.
Bummer about the root canal :(
