Special K

I don't usually eat things that are considered to be weight loss foods-that whole fad just isn't my thing. However, I LOVE Special K Red Berries Cereal. In my defense, I loved them before I knew they were supposed to be part of a diet program. A while back, I ate enough cereal to get a free 10-minute workout video.

One night in December I decided to do a Hip Hop Workout. I was using my 2 pound weights for extra toning (ok, they probably don't do much, but it is all I have). One of the moves was a punch with your left hand to the right side of your body in front of you. I was getting into the hip hop and all and punched myself (hard) in the face, weight and all. In slow motion I probably looked like Rocky with spit flying from my mouth. I punched my jaw closed and ended up hearing this bad sound and biting my tongue hard.

Three months later...

I went to the dentist and she asked what I had done to my tongue. She said it looked like it had really taken a beating. I told her about the self-abuse incident in December and she said that I was really lucky I didn't do more damage to my teeth based on the amount of damage I did to my tongue. I hate it when you do something that causes a lot of pain but you don't have anything to "show for it," so I'm glad this one got me some sympathy-cuz it hurt.
