Way to go Kingsport!

The city I live in was awarded "2008 Best City for Walkers" by Walk Magazine. http://www.walk-magazine.com/Winners_2008.html I think this is pretty cool. I know I love to walk all the places that we have here and that I have always felt we had more paths than most places I had gone to outside of here. Of course I love to walk at all the different places here and otherwise. But with the price of gas it's good to have the best local.

Bay's Mountain where I do my hiking has also recently acquired new land that it looks like will be turned into some hiking trails and stuff. I love seeing these parts of the city I live in grow.

Now if the storms are done with I can hopefully get out and take advantage of all these wonderful spots to walk.

For a healthy smile

I hate some of the safety bullshit on IE. I had a whole post wrote out and was ready to submit it and was going to add a new category for it and it it blocked the pop-up for adding the category. When I told IE to allow pop ups from this site (which I thought I had done on my laptop already but maybe not) it refreshed and deleted the whole thing. *scream and pulls out hair'. So......I'll try and write it again and hope I don't leave out much if anything.

I made an appointment last week to see an orthodontist today. The appointment went well. I have a lot of crowding on my lower and a bad overbite but then I have known this for a long time and it's the reason I went. I did find out they can't make the perfect because of how bad they are but they do believe I will be happy with what can be done.

I am changing dentist since I use to go near where I worked and that hour drive is not something I want to do now since I have no reason to go that direction other then the dentist....especially with the cost of gas. So I have found new one and will have my teeth cleaned in about a month (soon as I could get an appointment). Something that is really good about it to me is that I can walk to my dentist. Also I can walk to the orthodontist though it is about 25 minutes and I have to cross a semi busy road. I may not do the walk to the orthodontist as much.

The dentist will be able to give the okay about the braces and that my mouth is healthy enough to get them. Hopefully everything will go okay with that...it's been fine in the past. I will be going about a month past my 6 month cleaning because of the switch but that is okay. I think it's a good choice.

If all goes well I will post progress pictures with the whole braces thing. I have looked at some other sites that have adults getting braces...they have been real helpful and interesting to me. It will be so nice to have a pretty smile.

Just another day

Weight 296

That is down half a pound. I do need to talk to my leader though because the woman that did my weigh in must have got confused and only counted my total weight lost as that half a pound which doesn't count what I have lost before that. Oh well I will get it fixed.

I am in a complaining mood I think. I am annoyed at the parents that park in front of my house. I am sick of cigarette butts being in my yard...of bottles being in my yard. I would never do that to someone's yard. People just don't respect others these days. I am really looking forward to once we move and get our own place. If i can help it I will never live in front of a school again.....ever ever again. Yea this was brought up cause I had just saw a woman put a cigarette out in my yard. But it doesn't do any good to say anything or get mad....I just need to focus my energy on looking forward to when I live some where that doesn't have people parking and waiting on kids. Click my heels 3 times and go some where else. Don't I wish *sigh*

There are good things going on though. Weather is lovely. I am doing well and keeping a positive outlook for my healthy eating...even with Tuesday having been a bad day mood wise. I managed to do a positive shopping trip and not feel my buggy with crap. It's a good thing...I was proud cause a part of me just wanted to say screw it and put in all the junk but another part of me was like "no way...I am not eating that stuff".
