10.30.2003 Weight: 267Mood: whooo, dizzy. . . I did two very stupid things this morning (well, three, come to think of it). One, I forgot to take my multivitamin and fish oil caplets before heading off to work. I figured it wouldn't harm anything and I'd just take them tonight. Nononono, because-- Two, I was bloody ravenous this morning, and didn't have anything to eat until I got into the office. I started feeling really tired and dizzy, so I had a Carb Sensations bar. Didn't feel any better, however, so-- Three, I got a handful of Skittles out of the bulk vending machine and ate those (why? Because I thought the sugar would help. I'm an idiot). Maybe ten pieces, and now I'm REALLY tired and out of it. Yuck -- this is what happens when I try to eat sugar after two weeks away from the stuff. I am now about to head off to Walgreen's and get a stash of vitamins and fish oil tablets for use at work, should this ever happen again. And hopefully the sugar will wear off in a couple of hours. Man, never again. . . Later: I walked around a bit after going to Walgreen's and I do feel better. Mellie has learned her lesson. Oh, and it looks like what I'm really doing is overclocking my body, according to this article at Salon. I feel all warm and geekish, now, to know that I'm hacking my own metabolism. Speaking of that, however, I think it's time to go in and get another blood pull -- my throat feels really odd and swollen around my thyroid, and since I'm being a heck of a lot more active I want to see if my scrip is still good or if it needs to be bumped up some more. We'll see. One last thing -- I've been kinda struggling to find decent low-carb dinners after work when I'm waiting to go to fencing or dance class. It turns out that Boston Market sells a very nice grilled chicken breast plate with two veggies for a little over six bucks -- the include a mini-loaf of corn bread, but you can always tell them to hold that. I know where I'm eating on Monday and Wednesday nights from now on. |
