I have the best dentist in the world. He placed a temporary crown over my recently unrooted left molar. What a difference a good dentist makes. He anesthetized the area in three different phases. Not two as most dentists seem to do. I never felt a pinch.
30 minutes later, I was on a face to face consultation call and nobody could tell that I had a slight paralysis of my left jaw. The doctor knew that I had an important date and used the perfect amount of pain killer to work on me. It feels so good to have a functioning set of teeth again. I'm learning not to take such things for granted. Today, I can say that I am grateful for my teeth, my liver and my colon. Everything's OK today!
Which brings me to the subject of eating well.
I'm on a 1500 calorie diet plan. It's a plan - I didn't say I was practicing it. Today, was my first honest attempt and why not? I have to avoid a lot of foods with this temporary crown. This morning somebody asked me what my favorite food is. I admitted that Oreo's and Milk is my absolute top item. Nothing can beat a 9 second dunk in ice cold milk, even skim milk!
So, to those who swear that tomorrow will be the first day of your new plan - Go out with a bang. Grab an entire row of Oreo's, give the rest away and pour yourself a massive glass of ice cold milk. Even better, chill that glass before you pour. And then enjoy as the seconds melt away while you devour the most perfect food invented.
That's all the calories that you can have today so forget about eating anything else. But hey, it was worth it wasn't it? Now tomorrow morning, it's one cup of decaf coffee black, 1/2 a bagel with a pat of cream cheese and 1/2 a banana for breakfast. Tomorrow I'll let you know how I finished the day with lunch and dinner and managed to stay on the 1500 calorie plan.
Keep it Clean,
Papa Pooey
