Balance...

I went out for sushi last night. My first post-surgery sushi experience. I was nervous about how my tastebuds would react but I am thrilled to say that sushi was not only a complete success, but I was able to eat a lot more than I expected and it all tasted AMAZING!

Ok so granted we went to Kinjo and they just have amazing sushi, but I was amazed at how sensitive my tastebuds are and how delicious everything was! The raw salmon sashimi was cut so thick and it was so buttery I crave it still!

On the flip side I went out today and I had sushi again at lunch. We went to Sumo. It was ok but by far not as impressive as Kinjo. The salmon was so thinly sliced you had to fold it in half to get a good texture. It did taste good and fresh though so thats ok. I overdid it a bit today with soy nuts, I had a dumpling at lunch which didn't sit well and then at dinner, I had a glass of raspberry slushy and it was so sweet that it made my body revolt and I wasn't able to eat my dinner. I was so disappointed but moreso, it made me feel so horrible that I passed out when I got home and was just feeling ill.

I switched my vitamins this weekend as well. I was taking liquid vitamins but the liquid tasted horrible, I dreaded my 2 daily doses and for the past 2 days I just skipped taking them altogether. I think they were upsetting my stomach. Sooo today I bought liquid gel caps which are HUGE but were a lot better than the liquid shooters I was taking every morning. Plus I can save time and money from washing all those shot glasses I was using to dose out my vitamins ;)

On another positive note, since I started taking all these vitamins, my fingernails have been growing like weeds!!! They are also really strong!

So this weekend also included another amazing thing.. I got a new SUV! I bought a 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander. I am so surprised at how perfectly everything came together. I knew it was meant to be when I got into the drivers seat and buckled the seatbelt without an extender. My sentra required an extender and I can't tell you how much more room I have in the SUV and I know that I will be shrinking and it will be getting better and better. I got an SUV because I am thinking practically 5+years out. I want to go hiking and camping and fishing and trips to Home Depot and Ikea knowing I can fit what I buy in my vehicle.

So this weekend has so far been pretty good. Both ups and downs but overall pretty darn good!
