I snagged a Shaymin plush while I was out today! Though I do agree with you, Rainbowrific Renia; the TRU ones seem to be MUCH easier to come across. I just had to get Shaymin though; I love it's little round shape and the flowers. It's so adorable! Also got Pokemon Go and I can't wait to try it out. For sure I plan to go out walking every where tomorrow

I feel like I'm off to a good start this week. I meant to start my new routine and check in last week, but the start of the week I felt just good enough to leave my bed in favor for laying on the couch all day for the first three days (felt sick as a dog; not a fun time lol), and then the last half of the week I was out of town playing at the Pokemon National Tournament (so I'm glad I felt horrible at the start of the week rather than the last half!)

Yesterday I woke up at nine, which was a little later than I meant to (was aiming for 8am), but it was a late night on Monday spending time with friends, since it was a holiday. I limited my morning internet time to only an hour, then started on morning exercises. I chose to do stair climbing, so I ran our staircase about fifteen to twenty times and stopped when my legs started to shake lol. Breakfast was a yogurt, and I limited my snacking down to only two items throughout the day, which was a big improvement (a snack size bag of popcorn and a pack of peanut butter crackers). Dinner was homemade tacos, and I only had two. I did cheat and have a left over waffle that was hanging out in the fridge before bed, but I think that is because my stomach is no where near on board with the new limited food choices yet.

I also chose to weigh myself on the scale yesterday, something I have never done when I'm trying to be healthy because it is typically so much of a punch in the gut. But I decided this time, I don't want to just go along THINKING I'm doing good, I want to KNOW. So that if something isn't working, I can change things up. Right now, I weigh 234lbs (first time I've posted THAT on the internet ). It was both a painful, and pleasant number, because the last time I had my weight taken I was up about ten pounds. So I feel much more encouraged that weight loss is possible if I just find a routine for me and stick with it.

Just sent you a PM

I'm not sure it was from the 80s, but if not it was very close to it: Pirates Of Dark Water! I absolutely loved the show when I was a kid, but it NEVER FINISHED!! They released the series on dvd about four years ago I think, and I was really surprised at how well it held up over the years (as an adult I went in to watching it again figuring it would be super cheesy now, and that I was just remembering it with the rose colored glasses of nostalgia, but that wasn't the case!)

Typically I'm not a fan of reboots because they muck too much with my fond childhood memories, and the quality just isn't as great, but since the original series never finished I would be up for seeing what they could do with it in today's age (so long as they finished the story! Lol)

I had all four of mine removed at once, and for me it wasn't too bad. I was given half a valium the night before the surgery, and another half the morning of (I have a terrible stress problem lol). They put me under via IV/Injection and the removal went smoothly. I slept a LOT afterwards, as in the entire day. I was given some high strength pain medication to take if I needed it, but even having all four removed at once I only needed a few advil the first day, and after that I was fine. Pain varies from person to person though (my fiance also had all four of his taken out at once and managed with only advil as well). My annoyance was with not being able to open my mouth all the way lol. I think the swelling lasted about a week on me, and I was up and moving around only a few days later.

Warm salt water rinses twice a day really helped me too, just don't swish too hard, if at all (I would just tilt my head back and forth). Also, my dentist warned me to not use straws for a week or so, since the suction of using one can cause issues. Dry socket is the main thing you need to watch out for. I didn't get it, because I was super careful, but I was told that it can cause some major discomfort.

My pro tip though? Don't sit around right after and binge watch the food network Really, it isn't worth the torment! lol
