Still no Scale…

Grrr, I still haven’t gone to damn Wal-mart to get a scale, and I haven’t been at my friend’s house (who has a scale) for almost a week now. But I have a good excuse - I’ve been feeling like crap the past couple of days.

I’m not sure if I mentioned it in a previous entry, but I’m currently suffering from a bad root canal infection in one of my teeth. (I broke the tooth and had it capped/root canaled several years ago). Anyway, the infection had/has gotten so bad that it is affecting my sinuses and even my left eye. Scary, yes. I have an appointment to get surgery on it on April 6th. (It’s going to cost $1800!!) I’m on major antibiotics right now though, and they are making me feel lethargic and blahhh. I started a new prescription yesterday, and for the first dosage, they make you take 4 amoxicillin pills. Yuck! So, yesterday I lazed around the house for the most part. I did manage to get in a really good Level 4 workout for 30 minutes. I’m not going to write down what I ate yesterday because it was pretty gluttonous.

Today, I had no energy and had to get off the bike after 10 minutes. I did go play some pool tonight with a guy friend of mine. As for my eating/drinking today, this is what I had:

B - Chicken strips, Blueberry juice (super healthy!) and coffee - 250 cals
L - Grilled cheese sandwich. A few fries. - 500 cals
D - Mexican Rice, a couple beers and a shot of Yukon Jack at the bar - 500? cals

(all calories estimated)

Exercise:

10 minute bike workout
3 hours standing on my feet, playing pool, plus a brisk 15-min walk to the bar

This certainly wasn’t the healthiest day of eating. For some reason, all day today my stomach felt extremely bloated and full, even when I didn’t really eat all that much. I wonder if it’s a side effect of the antibiotics?

I plan to either go tomorrow or Thursday to get a scale…. for sure! Hopefully this weird and annoying bloating will go away by then.
