Was really not looking forward to this morning, it was dentist day, I was up all night reading the healthy eating information sheets provided in the fb group you join for the 30 days to healthy living I looked at on day 1 to distract me. This meant I had planned out all my meals and what to prepare. I snoozed my alarm about 5 times and when I finally got up and reluctantly waddled downstairs, I prepped my food. I had a vanilla protein shake with fibre support for breakfast, cooked up some boiled eggs and cut up some raw veggies for snacks. I made myself a chicken with, red and yellow peppers and spinach stir fry, for lunch to take to work.

My dentist was an ordeal, my appointment took a whole hour and I had millions of injections. I was happy that my old crown and one silver filling would be replaced with aestheticlly pleasing white ones, most british teeth are full of many silver fillings and it’s nice to think I’ll have a few less. I hadn’t taken the day off work and I didn’t quite realise I would be so anaesthesia-ed-up. I could barely talk properly and anything beginning with the word ‘B’ forget about it! My whole mouth and lips were numb and I’m pretty sure I scared all the kids I coached today *giggles*. Half my face wore off quicker than the other so I’m sure I looked real scary to the gymnasts and to be honest hilarious to my co-workers.

I had packed up fizz sticks and hydration sachets as recommended with the healthy eating information I read last night that I had on my break. Being really stupid I hadn’t thought about packing “soft” foods so didn’t even bother trying to eat my raw veggies, I mean I was clamping my lips shut with my fingers just to take a sip of my drink – carrots, celery … dream on. I decided I would eat my stir fry later when I could actually bite properly and I had a chocolate protein shake with digestion plus in. What I did notice is that although I was anxious and nervous for my dentist appointment knowing how much work I was having done, I didn’t have tummy problems. I normally get so anxious that it affects my tummy really bad and that didn’t happen which I put down to healthy eating and getting the right healthy eating information. My stir fry tasted and looked amazing. When I got home I did treat myself to pistachios and dried cranberries. Looking forward to focusing on the challenge and not having to worry about my teeth.
