Things I've Learned Recently...

1. When you hurt a part of your body, if it doesn't feel better in a few days, go to the doctor and have it checked out. For example, I hurt my wrist. I left it alone, took alot of Advil, and within a week, it felt better. Then I went and played tennis for two hours. My wrist hurt again, but an Ace bandage and Advil pretty much cure any pains. Four days later, I went and lifted weights at the gym, and found that my wrist isn't healed, and it hurts...alot. Finally, two weeks after my initial injury, I go and have x-rays dones. I haven't broken my wrist, but I have messed it up pretty badly--badly enough to be stuck wearing a monstrosity of an arm brace for a week to see if the swelling around the nerves subsides. If not, it's off to see a hand specialist.

2. Whole-grain pasta tastes REALLY good. I mean, you wouldn't think so, but it's really good. I personally like Barilla Plus. Try it--maybe you'll agree.

3. I can live without Mickey D's, BK, Taco Bell, and Wendys. It has been six--SIX-- weeks since I have had any fast food. This is no small feat, especially since I have to drive by each one of these places on the way home from work, or from the gym. Everyday is a struggle, but both my bank account and my heart thank me. :-)

4. Im a pretty good left-hand only typer.
