OMG Terra Chips!

Curse the day I discovered Terra Chips!


These bad boys are so delicious! They're made of other root vegetables like taro and sweet potato, and when I'm jonesing, I'm j0nesing hard.

The problem with them is that I can only find them at Shoppers Drug Mart, and even then, they're not at every one. Luckily for me I can usually find them at the Shoppers near my house, but at the one near my office, they're not there (maybe I should try the store that's a little further out if I'm craving them that badly). They used to be, but I have a feeling I bought the last bag all those weeks ago.

Another problem with these chips is that they're TOTALLY UNDERMINING MY ATTEMPT AT KEEPING THE WEIGHT OFF! I'll go to the gym, work my ass off, get a little hint of a low blood sugar episode, and then stop in to buy them! Okay, it's not all their fault. I have little willpower as it is, but must they always tempt me with their siren song? I would like to believe that they're healthier for me, since they're not regular potato chips, but how healthy can they be when you eat the whole bag by yourself in a short time span?

Still, I'll maybe have a bag a week or two, but I should cut this out. I have a few weddings coming up that I really need to shed some pounds for, and I have this damn beetus that I should be taking better care of, but these chips are like a man that treats you badly, but you keep coming back for more.

Hey, at least it isn't chocolate.

Really frigging horrible

I can't believe that for the past, say, month, I've only been to the gym 3 times! WTF? Okay, I was sick for a week out of that, and the monthly Mother Nature visit too, but it's mostly because I have to live my life on other people's schedules, and frankly I'm sick of it.

Ack!

I am currently partaking in a substantial slice of cheesecake.

I promised myself I would never willingly eat cheesecake ever again.

I feel so disgusted with myself.

WTF?

Went to the optometrist last night. No diabetic retinopathy, but buddy tells me I am starting to get cataracts.

Dude, I'm only 27!

Damn.

Old Friends

Today was the second time I've seen her, but I ran into Jemima, a lady who used to work with us, at my gym. I thought it was pretty cool to see her again. At least I don't feel left out by not knowing or talking to anyone while I'm there. It seems the school people I used to see don't go anymore.

Glucometer: $20

Test strips: $80 for a box of 100

Having a grandmother who uses the same glucometer and test strips, but not as often so I get her extras: priceless

Slipping already?

Last night I was pretty close to skipping the gym. Now, I won't go if I don't have a way to get there, obviously, but last night I had my mother's car (my own always seems to be borrowed by my freeloading sister). There would have been no reason for me not to go. Plus I had a lot of reason to go, what with the trail mix and the pasta I had for dinner. I'm glad I manned up and went in the end. No slipping up!
