Yesterday I did Tae-Bo for the first time in almost a year and it actually felt pretty good to be exercising again. I've got about ten more pounds to lose and I'm hoping that this does the trick like it did before. I did manage to fit into some non-maternity pants the other day, but talk about "freshly-squeezed." :P

Today I had my dentist appointment with my neighbor Tami (Lily's mom) as my new dental hygienist. As a new patient, I had to go through all the charting and assessments again, and it seems that my teeth are doing just fine. I do, however, have some receding gums and a vertical fracture in a molar due to my past teeth grinding. I know that I used to grind my teeth pretty hard during my "stressful" high school and college days, but I don't know if I still do, so I'm going to test myself out with a cheap, rubber night guard from Walgreen's. Tami said that the rubber will give a quick indication of 1) whether or not I'm still grinding and 2) where I am grinding. If I am still grinding my teeth, it looks like I'll have to invest in a $400 night guard, which, of course, my dental insurance does not cover. :/

Oh, and on the way home, the rubber lining along my right headlight started coming off again...this would be the third time that it has done that. Fortunately, the body shop is quite close to my house, so I dropped by again, and the manager himself super-glued the lining back down again. I certainly hope it does start flying up again because it's becoming quite a nuisance.

Tonight on Dancing with the Stars, I was sad to see Shannon Elizabeth go when I thought that Cristian should have left before her. If he hadn't had his strained muscle, I'm pretty sure that he would have gone, but who knows. My picks for the top three? Kristi, Jason, and hmmm, this is a toughie...I'll go with Mario. I'm interested in seeing what's in store for next week when the dancers can do lifts; there has always been a pretty thin line with that lift policy if you ask me!
