I don't have anything exciting to report from the weekend. I was sick with a head cold and it turns out that the reason one of the teeth I had pulled is still bothering me is because I have a dry socket. Most of the weekend was spent eating mush and putting clove oil and gauze in the socket. This nightmare better end soon because if not, I'm going in for a face transplant. Any suggestions for what I should go with for a new face? By Sunday night, I had had it with eating mush and went all in with my favorite dish.
My homemade healthy whole wheat mac & cheese, roasted brussels, and honey mustard bbq chicken. I overcooked the sprouts a bit to make them softer and cut up the chicken so it was easier to chew. My belly was happy!
I was forwarded a link from my friend Sue (hey lady!) yesterday containing this article she thought MelissaNibbles readers would be interested in. The article is about a 17 year old named Constance and her struggle and current recovery from anorexia. I like this article because it offers insight into both Constance and her family's experience with the eating disorder. If you know someone who's suffering or recovering from an eating disorder and are unsure of how to help them, it might be helpful to read an account of someone else's experience.
What machine do you hate at the gym?

I loooove the elliptical! I know, I am weird. It makes time fly for me = I actually look forward to it!
Oh man, dry socket! I didn't get it when I had my teeth out but I was warned about it. How do you make it go away?? Eeeh someach pain, tooth pain and ear aches are the worst aches.
Don't be hatin' on the slliptical! I actually like it :)
I'm sorry you've been so uncomfortable all weekend. I hope you get some relief today.
I like the elliptical because I can read and watch tv on it.
I'm the complete opposite of you! I love the elliptical and hate the treadmill. For some reason, I suck at running and feel like I'm going to die almost immediately but I can crank out 45 minutes on the elliptical no problem. I did 45 minutes this morning as well. :)
Sorry it was definitely a dry socket...I was hoping I was wrong when I tweeted that as a possible reason for the pain. :( Hopefully the clove oil helps! I can imagine that's pretty painful. :(
gahh elliptical trainers and I share such a love/hate relationship. haha
Hope you're able to have a mindful Monday (yes, I'm loving alliterations)
xo bec
i have a love/hate relationship with all the machines. Usually, i HATE the treadmill, but for my last 2 runs, i didnt mind it as much.
ALso, sometimes i love the bike or elliptical and sometimes i hate it.
i guess its all in perspective and varies day by day. lol
Have a Happy Monday!
I really love the elliptical, actually! I like that you can set different programs on it to target different muscles. There's an awesome fat burner program on the ellipticals at my gym. It always leaves me sweaty and feeling great! I think maybe it's something you will learn to love!
Thats so funny, the elliptical is usually my "easy" workout, while I struggle with the treadmill! I always try to run, though, because I feel like I get more of a workout :)
i hate the stairmaster...the big stairs are great (the revolving ones) but the stairmaster...hate it and never do it and I plan to keep it that way!! haha
go get that kim boootayyy girl :)
I love the elliptical... i hate the stairmaster! hate hate hate!
I hate the bike..it just seems so boring and like I am doing nothing. Also that moving stair thingy scares me too!
I hate the rowing machine. It's so boring!
I hope your dry socket is better soon.
I have a love hate relationship with the stairmill! You should try it for booty buildin action.
That's intresting I prefer the ET over treadmill, but it took me sometime to learn to love ET.
I hate Ellipticals w/ arms that move. I don't know why cuz I'll use a Cybex with moving and stationary arm rests. but NOT the Ellipticals!
I HATE the spin bikes! UGH! I hate it when that machines falls onto my training schedule...why??? haha! Happy Monday Melissa!
I knew it was dry sockets! You're a champ for getting through that- those are apparently so freaking brutal- you would know!
Hope you're starting to feel a bit better and are having the loveliest of Mondays!
I have a love/hate relationship with the rowing machine. It is so hard, but I know that it does good things to my body!
hmmm, what kind of face to get.....
Dry socket??? What have you been sucking on Missy!!
I'm with you - HATE the elliptical! It's so boring and my feet always go numb! I try to run outside as much as I can, but if I'm forced onto cardio equipment its the spin bike or the treadmill.
