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.

Sorry you’re feeling under the weather with your tooth! It would be very hard to exercise when you feel so crappy.
hey hon
props to your balls posting your progress. its hard to be disciplined, and its even harder to admit when you slip up.
just a suggestion though, maybe try looking up your cals. online for a more accurate estimate on what you’re actually taking in. (just google for any website with food listings, theres a bunch). ive found my own extimates to be quite off from time to time, and a little research has proven helpful.
keep up the good work and good luck!
