Adapting to my circumstances.
Yes, I know that it has been over a week. But I've got something to say. No, I did not already "fail" my resolution. I had to take a detour and make some little revisions--hence the Chameleon. Why?
Well one Thursday, my teeth began hurting so bad that I cried and just laid on the couch. All day. This rarely happens--not my teeth hurting (which they really don't do often), but I mean me crying. It was bad. I was talked into going to the dentist--an emergency appointment the next day. And voila! I'm put on antibiotics, medication to mediate the pain, and strict instructions to get wisdom teeth out ASAP. I'm telling you. I attempted to exercise on the medication--bad, bad idea. I knew I needed to reevaluate until I could get the teefies fixed.
Luckily, I was able to get in with JW's dentist to extract my wisdom teeth the next week. Needless to say, I've been out of being able to do a "real" workout. I attempted to make small changes by parking far away and taking the stairs, but I decided to move on to my other mini-goals that were workable with what was going on with me. I drank more water (MG 3) and ate more fruits--mushed (MG 6). Not ideal, but I knew that I had to adapt. Not exactly how I wanted to start out the New Year, but life happens.
Life Happens. That is what this blog is all about. Figuring out how to make good health decisions while living a real life. Hello, everyone (or most everyone) has to get the wizzies out. And people deal with the recovery differently. Some are better the next day, and some aren't better for two weeks (Ahem, E).
I just wanted to update you with my little bump in the road. I am feeling much better, so I'm going back to my original MG of exercising more. Here's to adapting and moving on!

By the way, check out this blog The Petite Athleat. E and I LOVE her, but she's been getting some flack lately. She's actually part of what made us want to start this little shindig--very inspiring and real!
