Ok... never took the Vicodin...

but that's because they gave me the "exra strength" stuff that has Tylenol (acetaminofin) in it, and I'm pretty paranoid about my liver health right now. Instead I popped about 800mg of Ibuprofen and luckily that worked.

Strangely enough... today it's fine... no pain at all! (HOORAY!)

I did not, however, feel like getting my butt outta bed to get to the gym this morning, so today is a self-imposed rest day... no biggie, I can still go for a run on Saturday and get my 8 workouts for the week in.

Overall I think it wasn't the surgery that sucked so much (tho it did suck) it was sitting there for an hour or more with my mouth jacked open so the Dr. could get in there... and all the drilling and scraping was freakin' annoying. The novocaine worked to keep me outta pain DURING the surgery, but it wore off pretty quickly once I was upright again and that's when the throbbing began.

Diet wise, things stayed on track... all I could eat in my tired, bitchy, annoyed state last night was scrambled eggs so I had 3... and I think I let myself get a little dehydrated because the ketones were closer to the 50 than the 10 this morning. Gonna focus on LOTS of water today.

One last thing... after having Linn tell me that he thought my CKD was really working and that he could see some nice definition in my hamstrings yesterday I muscled up the courage to ask him if he'd teach me a few poses... and luckilly he didn't think I was a freak, and he was really excited to help me out! He's of the opinion that people who spend 10 minutes a night posing in front of a mirror end up with a LOT better definition and a much better awareness of their progress. So on Friday after bootcamp he's going to show me a few poses to start out with... and hopefully I won't feel like an absolute boob doing them.

Wish me luck!
