MUSH!

In my last blog i briefly mentioned that I had oral surgery on Thursday. The surgery was getting two regular bottom teeth taken out, reason being is that I just don't have enough room in my mouth for all my teeth and I am currently sporting braces. Go me.

Oral surgery can really mess up a person's diet and healthy eating. I've been living on soup, pudding, jell-o, ice cream, and french fries. The french fries are the closest thing to solids I've had since Wednesday. I'm antsy for the sockets to heal so I can get back to regular healthy foods, I actually MISS broccoli!!

While I haven't been able to eat well, I do feel like I've been doing great workout wise. The day after the surgery I did 5 miles on the treadmill. Saturday I spent 45 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes of core strength training. And this morning I did 30 minutes on the stair stepper, 30 minutes of strength training, squats that I'm sure to remember tomorrow, and 30 minutes on the exercise bike. I'm feeling good and strong, but hungry too.

While I've been on this downtime from the surgery, I took the opportunity to create a YouTube account and favorite some good workout videos. And I would love to share some of my favorites with you!

I'm a huge fan of medicine ball and bosu ball workouts. I would strongly urge anyone out there that's tired of crunches to try some of those moves. Go ahead and try one, and I'd like to hear from you how it went!
