So, yeah, it was dengue (is?). I'm still not 100%, but the fever, pain, itchiness, rash, etc. seem to be out of the way. Now it's just days/weeks/(please god, not months) of tiredness ( Read more... )

I haven't visited this blog in forever.  Sorry, flist, I'm a flake. I got out of thinking of being healthy for a while ( Read more... )

In an effort to diversify my fruits and vegetables I thought I'd randomly write which ones I ate today ( Read more... )

Doing good with the no HFCS goal.  I might have a little bit of denial going on with movie theater popcorn, but otherwise have managed to avoid it in all its glory.  I've also been avoiding "corn syrup" and "glucose syrup," though I'm not 100% sure what those entail ( Read more... )

I start the school year tomorrow.  That means huge serving lunches that I can't quite seem to say no to, and the stress and anxiety that comes with my job.  Any success I've had with portion control and weight loss in the last ten or so days will be twice as hard to continue.  I can do this, though.  Deep breath.  It starts with a continental ( Read more... )

In an effort to be true to my goal, I searched out a list of HFCS containing food items.  A lot of the things on this list are irrelevant as I can't get them here anyways, but there are a few things that I eat all the time, or at least from time to time, which I'll now be cutting out.

This includes:

Did my 13 miler yesterday.  Whoa, tiring!  I was going to do either 2 miles or an aerobic video today, but then accidentally kicked a chunk of concret and now have a big, bloody, owie on my foot.  I don't really feel like putting on real shoes, so I guess it's weight training, instead.  Anything low impact and sans shoes ( Read more... )

I just had to pause for a couple of seconds on the spelling of Wednesday.  I must be tired ( Read more... )

Last night my housemates hosted a wedding reception for a friend of ours.  This morning when I got up the house was still full of empty and full bottles of alcohol, finger food and wedding cake.  Sigh.  So of course breakfast became a couple of handfuls of peanuts and a chunk or two of wedding cake.  I think the chunks were small enough to add up ( Read more... )
