I wish someone told me...

...that there was a deli shop at my gym, because for some strange reason, I always smell cold-cuts when I'm there.  Salami in particular.

Either that, or people shouldn't eat salami before they go to the gym.

No More Terra Chips :-(

It has been a few months since I partook in my favourite chips ever, Terra Chips.  I gave them up in November because I really needed give myself a break, but then when I went to get another bag sometime in December, I noticed that none of the Shoppers Drug Marts in my area were carrying them anymore, and that's the only place I've seen them sold.  I still look for them everytime I go in there, just in case, but they just might be gone for good.

It's all for the best, I suppose.  My cousin's wedding is coming up pretty soon, and I'm going to have to fit into that bridesmaid dress.  I had a bit of a drought with going to the gym again, but I've started up again and should make some attempt at sticking too it.  I've also been laying off junk food in general for the most part lately.  Sitting on my office-butt for 8 hours a day  doesn't help much though.

UPDATE:  I found them at "Almost Perfect", a food store near my place that sells food that was overstocked and factory seconds.  They sell for much cheaper, too.  I bought a few bags, but sometimes at that store, when things are done they're done.

Foolish beverage combination

Yesterday I thought I'd be a little creative with my hot chocolate (which I don't drink that often, before you preach that it's so sugary.  Not that that ever stops me), and put some Raspberry Ice Crystal Light with it, just to see what it would taste like.  It actually wouldn't have been bad if I didn't put too much CL in. It came out kind of gross and couldn't finish it.  I am going to try again with less CL, and if it's still gross, I'll deem it a failure and keep drinking the hot chocolate straight.

Today I see the first evidence of a cold, so I just made some tea.  It's from Celestial Seasonings, and it's White tea with Schizanda Berries.  I always take my tea with 2 Sugar Twins, but since I have this cold coming on, I wanted some honey with it, and I must say, the honey taste mingling with the tea taste is quite nomulent.  Better than yesterday's disaster.

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.
