I got a bit of good news this week that we think is linked to my weight loss. I had to go to the dentist Thursday morning. I usually dread going to the dentist. I seem to build up tarter really quickly so there is always a lot of scraping involved. Well, when I sat down and opened my mouth yesterday morning, my hygienist was very suprised to see that I didn't have near as much build up as I normally do. I haven't been taking care of my teeth any differently. I told her that back in January I had joined Weight Watcher's and that my diet had changed. Now I'm eating a lot more fruits and vegetables. She said she's seen this happen before, and attributed my lack of tarter to my healthier diet.
I was ecstatic! My entire appointment only took about half an hour, which I think is a new record for me in the dentist chair. I really needed that non-scale victory, since this week has been mediocre at best. I've been busy, and tired, and have just had a general lack of motivation. I haven't been tracking near as diligently as I should be, and that's reflecting on the scale. What's done is done, and I'll have to face my fate on the scale tomorrow. I'm determined to make next week a better week. I need to have a better week next week so I have a good jump start heading into vacation.
