I'm Loving Hemp

THURSDAY I did P90X3 Dynamix. I went to the doctor's office for the CT scan of my sinuses/maxillofacial area. I think it was the quickest scan I've ever had; I didn't even have to pay for parking! The ENT is going on vacation for about 2.5 weeks ~~so I won't know his interpretation until the end of the month~~.

FRIDAY I did Triometrics. I read Chapter 9 - Dietary Guidelines, learning about how to calculate the calories from each macronutrient.

After work we took the car back to the mechanic to "fix" the overheating problem. They had it all weekend. Benny got his tobacco (he rolls his own cigarettes) for what he said is probably the last time. They also aren't honoring the coupons he'd use any more so another motivational factor in his smoking cessation!

SATURDAY I did Eccentric Upper. The Manitoba Harvest hemp heart bars arrived for me to review, although the postal system damaged the chocolate bar packaging. Apparently I'm not the only one though, as others have reported the same...

Manitoba Harvest is having a photo contest.

Manitoba Harvest has given us a discount code to save readers 15% of a box of the hemp heart bars through the end of March. Visit their website, select your flavor, and enter the code hhbarlauch1015 at checkout. I really wish that I could distinguish between the flavors but with my nose and taste buds jacked up all three taste the same to me! For some reason I have a strong desire to add peanut butter to a bar and try it that way...

MONDAY began week 12 and I did MMX. I read Chapter 10 - Weight Management.

I pulled up the radiology report in my EMR for the CT scan. IMHO reading the report the only problem is my mildly deviated septum with a small bony spur. None of this report tells me why I can't smell or taste much any more! So much is "unremarkable."

When I got home I found out the nurse had called to talk about the scan results. Now to call her back...

TUESDAY I did Decelerator. I read Chapter 11 - Eating Disorders. I made a dent on the scale with a .2 lb loss at Weight Watchers. Hopefully it'll be better for March.

TODAY I did Triometrics again. I called the nurse back since I forgot to yesterday. The doctor had seen the scan Friday before he left for vacation so he'd left the notes for her to call me. Nothing wrong with the sinuses. She didn't mention the spur, only the deviated septum and reducing the turbinates. The doctor only does the surgeries on Tuesday in Carmel so I've temporarily scheduled it for September 27th.

I'd just started making my sandwich for lunch when the nurse at Austin's school called saying he was sick and he'd felt that way since eating his lunch. In case he got sick on the way home they didn't want him riding the bus. The ex is at work and they don't have another car for his forever fiancée (I don't know if they'll ever get married) to pick up Austin. Benny wouldn't be ready in time to get him either. So I had to freeze my way down there and back. I've yet to warm back up....
