So....the last time I posted I mentioned I had a tooth pulled. Let me tell you.......things are certainly much better when you're a kid! I don't remember anything about having teeth pulled for braces. For a good 4-5 days last week (post extraction) it felt as though there was a huge gaping hole in the back of my mouth. It wasn't until the weekend that I was comfortable trying to chew on the side of my mouth. I did manage to graduate to firmer foods though, lol.
It is doing much better, and I have been trying to chew with that side to get used to it again. I ended up having Mac & Cheese again for dinner last Thursday, lol. I tracked everything all week, including the weekend (went to a cake show in NJ with friends). I ended up gaining .4, but figure that's not bad considering I hadn't eaten nearly the amount of fruit I was used to (didn't eat an apple until Monday!), and like muscles retain water to repair themselves I figure my gums may be doing the same. No idea if that's true btw, lol.
I am still in the tracking challenge on the WW Message boards, so yay!
