October 3, 2008

Well, I got approved from BlueCross BlueShield for my health insurance today, except they made me agree that they won't be covering my chiropractic treatments. When I applied, they made me tell them how often I went and why... I'm sure these folks are just like my parents in that they believe you should only go to a chiropractor when something is wrong. Reality is, as I've learned, that most people DO have issues with their spines!

Oh well, as long as they cover me if I fall ill or get injured, plus cover my visits to the dermatologist, I am a happy girl!! Can't beat it for $100 a month. Also got my dental insurance ID cards today, so I get to go to the dentist next month, finally. I haven't been in over a year now! Yikes! I hope I still don't have any cavities...

Review of Yesterday:
well, I love Mexican food, so I really can't say I regret any of that! I made some healthier choices such as I didn't eat many chips, ordered black beans instead of refried, and got an enchilada instead of my beloved chimichanga lol :-) worked out a lot yesterday.

Today's Workouts:
nothing yet, but I feel pretty good and this morning I felt my muscles telling me to cool it today, so I think I am going to take one full day off.

Breakfast:
1 apple, 1 cheese stick, 1 FiberOne bar

Lunch:
some nachos and spinach dip at TGI Fridays, Dragonfire chicken with brown rice and broccoli (the whole meal is supposed to have 500 calories or less, plus I boxed up half to eat for dinner, yeehaw!)

Dinner:
leftovers from lunch... half the chicken breast, rest of the brown rice and veggies. yum!

Dessert/snacks:
1/2 cup sugar free fat free banana cream pudding, a small piece of dark chocolate, one half of a bagel with chive and onion cream cheese

Water:
need to drink MORE!

Daily Vitamins:

Nightly Vitamins:

that stinks that BCBS won't cover the chiropractor! i know what you mean about the majority having something wrong with their spine...i didn't go until i cricked my neck really bad and it turned out that my spine was curving in the opposite direction and i had a hump on my back! insurance should cover that! :P

kyle and i have been going since June, and i think my curve is from computer usage too (since my major is all on the computer hahaha). but my last evaluation/xray showed a big difference. my spine is starting to straighten out and all it really needs now is to start curving the regular way. i love OFC! :D
