Hey guys!
I was lucky enough to have today off work and I started Nurtisystem today. Honestly, it hasn’t been too bad today and I’m definitely eating more vegetables than I’m used to and drinking more water. HOWEVER, I have not been one ounce of hungry today at all. The meals are very filling and so far, what I have tasted is not half bad! Even the turbo shakes are pretty tasty! I think the biggest challenge is going to be getting in the exercise they want me to get in…it’s not much, but I just can’t stand exercising which is probably a pretty good indicator of how I got to the weight I’m at now. Oh well, I can’t look back, only looking forward. New Year, new chances.
So, what I want to share with you is pretty stinkin’ hilarious. I got some pretty great things for Christmas this year. I got several things I needed (i.e., Tupperware, mixing bowls, measuring cups, clothes, etc.), but I also got something I really wanted…something to take care of my pearly whites. I got a WaterPik! This is similar to what they use at the dentist to clean your teeth! It’s a pretty nifty tool!
Now, I read some reviews before I used it and I’m glad I did, it really gave me some great tips about how to turn the piece that sprays the water so you don’t soak yourself in the process of water flossing your teeth. Now, I did heed those tips and was fairly successful the first time I used the tool and many times since then. Here’s where the funny part comes in…
I was cleaning my bathroom counters one day and had to move the WaterPik off the counter to wipe under it. I went to pick up the WaterPik machine and pushed the “ON” button. I was at the PERFECT height to be eye level with the part of the machine where the water shoots out. Anyone have a guess about what happened? ANYONE!?!?! OK…so it shot me right in the eye! Now, just to give you an idea of what I was feeling, this thing has TEN pressure settings…I had it set on 9 so the water was shooting out with a good amount of force. And dang it, it HURT! It was crazy. I mean, I just CAN’T make this stuff up! Once I got my bearings, I turned the machine off and looked at myself in the mirror. My POOR eye!!! It was sore, and bloodshot.
I’m not sure if I popped a blood vessel or what, but it was red and bloodshot for just a couple hours and even hurt to close my eyes and even blink. After a couple hours, the pain went away, and I gained proper function of my eye again. Thank goodness! I’m so glad it didn’t make me go blind in one eye or something. What a story that would have been:
“So, how did you lose sight in your left eye?”
“Oh, I just shot myself in the eye with a thin, forceful, steady stream of water from a machine used to clean my teeth.”
WOW! I swear, the weirdest things happen to me, but I am just glad I can laugh at myself and share them with you guys!
But really, it sure was a great Christmas gift, I’m still getting lots of use from it, but I definitely could have gone without the mishap of having the darn thing spray me directly in the eyeball! Geeeeeeez!
