This has been a long week.  Work.  Crazy.   Mouth.  Pain.   I had a cracked crown fixed last week and Dr. decided to replace both back crowns at once.   Made sense at the time but a double whammy for me.   I've had at least eight crowns now (replacements included) and never has one hurt this much.   Let's just say I'm glad I'm juicing.  Chewing on my right side sends me into a tizzy.   Yeah, I just said the word tizzy....


Several times this week I fell off the wagon.  I made up for it by extra nutrients the next day.  I really pushed my juicing limits!  Basically, I had a thin crust pizza.   And with it came..SHERMAN.   I knew that was coming but truthfully, it looked so good and I was way too lazy to concoct something.    Laziness is surely my biggest obstacle to creating gluten free/dairy free/soy free foods.  The bad news (besides falling off the wagon) is that chewing now brings up a horrible taste and smell so I am only able to chew on left.  One more day until I return to the dentist.

I, also, fell off the wagon numerous times because I needed cold.  First I was doing the juice smoothies at the coffee shop, which are just blended with ice.   They did let me read the label on the jug of berry berry.   It truly looked like pure fruit juice.  However, I'm not naive and I'm sure there was a horrendous amount of corn syrup and refined sugars in there somewhere.   These were good but expensive.  So, I turned to DQ and blew the dairy free on a shake.  Have you ever seen somebody gargle with ice cream?   It's not too sexy.   Finally, I discovered the ultimate cheap cold high at BK with their lemonade slushie.  Yeah, I know.   Not a wise choice but tell that to my tooth.   My husband is on another BK run as I type.

This morning I made some carrott juice and I froze the remains in hope that I will get some decent nutrients in while maintaining my cold delivery system.   Seriously?   Yeah.  I'm serious.  

Freaking #$%& teeth.  Remind me why we need them?
