Cathy 2.0, now with less teeth!
May 13, 2010I’ve discovered another weight loss method, but it isn’t one I would recommend. I had my wisdom teeth extracted last week and have lost five pounds in six days. Normally this would either a) thrill me; or b) worry me, because that’s probably not healthy under normal circumstances. But I miss solid foods! If I have to eat another spoonful of apple sauce I might vomit.
Dan convinced me to try eating sushi last night. Normally he doesn’t have to cajole me into eating sushi, but I wasn’t sure I was ready for it yet. Unfortunately, I was right… gumming sushi just doesn’t taste right, and Dan got the spoils of what I wasn’t able to eat on my plate. I don’t suspect him of any ulterior motives… nonetheless, he can treat me to a real sushi meal when I can truly chew again.
In other fitness news, we bought a Wii and Wii Fit Plus a couple of months ago. I’ve been using it fairly consistently, and while it isn’t anything near a replacement for going to the gym, it is a nice supplement to a fitness routine. Especially during blizzards, when you can’t get to the gym anyway. My only problem with the Wii Fit series is that the main way you are measured is by BMI, which I don’t think is a truly accurate way of measuring people, especially women. Other than that, it is fine, especially with upper body exercises. I’ve noticed better toning in my arms since getting the Wii, mostly due to the yoga poses, boxing and kung fu games. I am on exercise restriction until I’m over this pain in my mouth, but I can’t wait to get back on the Wii.
I’ve been hunting up more healthy recipes that I can’t wait to try — once I can properly chew things I’ll test them out and post the winners here.
