Day #222 – Useless motivation

Of all times for me to be extremely motivated to work out, I can’t because of my surgery recovery. 🙄 Quite the disappointment, if I do say so myself.

I’ll be so ready to be able to be active again, which will hopefully be soon. I’m ready to move my body and break a sweat! I miss the feelings of getting in a good workout, although it’s only been 6 days since my last one.

I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Today is a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #221 – The year is half over ALREADY?!

Aloha and happy July! I can’t believe that we are now closer to 2020 than 2018. That is absolutely insane to think about! I feel like time has been flying lately, and I don’t know how I feel about it.

Today I have still been taking it easy and staying the same old soft diet. Not the most fun, but I have to do it to recover properly… which is my top priority right now. I hope that tomorrow is my last day to be on this diet, as on Wednesday I visit the dentist again and I might be deemed suitable to return to eating normal foods again. That would make me very excited!

I hope to see you here again soon. Have a lovely day and start to this new month! Remember to take advantage of the new opportunities awaiting you in July. Today, especially since it’s the start of a new month, is a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #220 – This is not fun

Hello friends!

I hope you are all having a much better day than I am 😂

It’s day four after I had my wisdom teeth removed, and honestly I feel no better than yesterday. Supposedly day 3 is the “turning point” of your recovery, but it definitely doesn’t seem to be that way for me. I’m already over having to rest and eat soft foods only, though I’m likely not even halfway done with my recovery!

I hope to be feeling better by tomorrow… or at least be able to sleep through the night tonight without waking up in horrible pain.

As you can tell, I’m not having the time of my life right now 😉

Aside from my pain, I’m so glad I went ahead and had this procedure done so that I don’t have to worry about it at a later date. That’s one positive to this!

Adios my lovelies. Today is a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #219 – I look like a chipmunk

One word: swelling.

Swelling unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Swelling so much that my face has changed shape to an upside-down triangle. I have officially become the human embodiment of a chipmunk. Plus, this pain isn’t too fun either. I see why it’s said that the third day after wisdom teeth removal is the worst.

If nothing else, at least I know it gets better from here!

I’ll talk to talk tomorrow. Goodbye! Today is a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #218 – The soft food diet ain’t it

Aloha!

If you didn’t see my post from yesterday, I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. And now that the numbing medication has completely worn off, my jaw feels like it is on fire 🙃

I’m not going to be able to work out again for at least a week after the surgery (sadly). I’ll miss it, as I’ve really been getting into fitness again lately!

So now I have to survive on mushy foods for at least a week. I’m already not super excited… it’s hard to feel full after eating a little jello snack pack and some applesauce. I’ve never realized how little protein is in soft foods! I guess you take things as simple as protein-filled, crunchy foods for granted until you can’t have them any more 🙂

So I’ll likely be in even more pain tomorrow, as it’s always said that the third day is the absolute worst. Yay for me 😂 anyways, at least this can distract me. I’m sure I’ll be updating you on my recovery quite often…

No matter what has happened in your life today, there is always some magnificent reason to be happy. Remember that, for both you and me! I’ll see you tomorrow. Keep being your beautiful self ❤️

Day #217 – Can I be any more sore?

Oh my goodness.

Ohhhhh my goodness.

My muscles feel like… I don’t even know. Like I’ve been tossed around in a hurricane and dumped onto the side of a mountain, still to tumble down and crash land through several trees. Okay, that might be exaggerating, but only slightly 😉

Also, today I got my wisdom teeth removed… so I’m in very much pain, can only eat jello and applesauce, and can’t feel half my face. And the anesthesia has made me feel absolutely exhausted, yet I can not (for the LIFE OF ME) fall asleep and stay asleep. This isn’t very fun.

As if I need to explain my reasoning, let’s just say I’ve taken it easy today.

Anyways, I hope today has been wonderful to you and I wish that tomorrow is even better! Adios… remember that (even if it hurts to barely move from soreness) today is still a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #216 – Calorie torcher

Hello friends! I hope you have all had a great day.

I’ve done a variety of workouts today, but the main one was several hours of dance. In total, I burned almost 1,500 active calories today. In short, my body hurts 😂 I’m proud of myself for being dedicated to a more healthy lifestyle lately, though! It’s encouraging to be able to get back into the habit of doing the things I love, which includes taking care of myself.

I hope to see you here again tomorrow. Have a lovely day and remember that you are valued and worth it! Today is a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #215 – 10 Mile Day

Aloha friends!

Today I’ve been very, very active; I love this new-found motivation! I’ve walked slightly under 7 miles today and cycled a little more than 3 miles, along with doing an intense HIIT workout. Let me say, I feel satisfyingly sore right now!

I’ve had a pretty good day. I absolutely love having the time to take care of myself and my body. I wish it was like this throughout the entire year!

I hope to see you here again tomorrow evening. Until then, remember that today is a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #214 – Bike rides are the best

Hello my lovelies! I hope that you’ve had a great Monday and have started your new week in a beautiful way.

Today I did some yoga, lots of stretching, and about a 2.5 mile long bike ride. I really enjoyed biking today; that’s always been an activity that I like to do, and I would love to make this a habit of mine.

It’s been quite fun to feel fit and happy today. I love feeling good about my level of activity! I find that it makes me feel so much more confident when I’m active.

I’ll talk to you tomorrow. I hope that you have a day as amazing as you are tomorrow 😉 adios! Today is a magnificent day to be happy!

Day #213 – Sunday storms

Aloha friends! Happy Sunday and happy new week!

Today I’ve felt slightly better, although still not very good at all. Again, I took the day to rest and recover (not exercising) in hopes of getting over this stupid cold. I’m so done with being sick… I just want to feel well enough to be active again!

Maybe by tomorrow I’ll be good to go. I desperately hope so! Remember – even if you’re sick – that today is a magnificent day to be happy.
