20-Week Fitness Challenge: Week 4, Day 23

Wednesday

The question of the day is: When's the last time you had...
~a dental cleaning
~a physical
~a pap smear
~your cholesterol/blood pressure checked
~ (fill in the blank specific to your personal health needs)

Ok the last time I had...
~a dental cleaning: late September 2006, going again in February. I have gum disease so have to see the periodontist every 3 months but I missed my last appt. Next visit I am getting prepped for teeth implants for the 3 uppe teeth I have lost in the back due to my past poor dental hygiene and getting an upper wisdom tooth removed. I had my other upper wisdom taken out last year as it was all rotten, but because it was a wisdom I don't need to have it replaced.

~a physical: March 2006, due again this March
~a pap smear: March 2006, due again this March (my regular doctor also does my gyno stuff)
~your cholesterol/blood pressure checked: Cholestorol March 2006, blood pressure December 2006 at one of those blood pressure machines at the drug store.
~ eyes checked: sometime in 2005, and I have been wearing the same glasses/contacts since. I need a new prescription and I am considering Lasik seriously.

Yesterday at the gym I was struggling, ya'll. It took me a long time to get going and I was counting minutes practically the whole time, which I usually don't do. I managed to finish but boy was it hard. It snowed here yesterday and the temp has dropped so I think that contributed to my sluggishness, as I am prone to winter depression. I forced myself to go outside this morning and take a walk, and I'm taking another in the afternoon.
