So today is the 10th anniversary of my diagnosis with diabetes. I can't say it's been a rough ride. I got used to it pretty quickly and it never really gave me any major problems. I've also never used it as a cop-out for anything, blamed it for anything, or blamed anything for it, even though some people think I do.
I could have been a little more vigilant with my diet and exercising, but on the whole I am still pretty healthy, and hope for at least 10 more years!

Remember your stuff!
Last night at the gym there were a couple forgetful ladies in the change room.
On my way in, there was a lady frantically opening all the lockers, because she couldn't remember where she put her stuff. I think that was just dumb because she should have had a lock. One, it would keep her stuff safe, and two, it's something she can use to distinguish her locker from the others A lot of people do leave their things without a lock, and I haven't seen anyone taking what wasn't theirs, but a lock is always extra security. Anyway, I left her that way when I went to work out, and I didn't see her after, so I can assume she found her things. Hopefully.
Getting back from working out, there was a trio of girls getting ready for their exercise, but two of them (two!) forgot their running shoes! They were deciding whether they could work out in flats as I left. I dunno, if it were me, I would just go home. It takes me 10-15 minutes to get to my gym by car, and that's long enough. If I had to go back and forth to get my shoes, I wouldn't even bother.

Seriously jeopardizing any chance of losing weight here...
When I learned that Walmart has their own Great Value gourmet jelly beans, and that they're Jelly Belly-quality, perhaps even better, I had to buy myself a bag. Okay I've been taking it somewhat easy on them, but having them in the first place is BAD BAD BAD.

Dose of reality for the day.
No, it isn't the shirt that makes you look fat.
It's your fat that makes you look fat.

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.
