So I'm here at work, wondering why I havent kept up with my blogger account. I really have no real reason to NOT post... I am not so busy doing other things. I guess I just feel that I will continuously rant.



And who likes to read about my lil ol' complaints?



Have you ever wondered about shit like that? Like.. who cares? You can come here every day and post something that may mean nothing.. or may mean everything to you.. but who pays attention? Who REALLY cares? Has someone made a connection to your post? Did you remind someone of something from their past? Did someone rethink a decision based on something you have written?



I guess I will continue asking myself these questions everytime I decide to write. Maybe one day if someone feels a certain way, they will comment and let me know how it affected them.



*shrugs* Whatever.

Kick it up a notch.

So here I am!! Back with another blog. Wondering what to say. I feel like I needed to start exercising my brain again, so here I am blowing the dust off of my keyboard.

Today I started this DTour thing. Its a diet for diabetics. Excuse me.. not a diet, but a new way of eating and living!

Great.

Not that I don't mind being a fatty. (yeah I said it).

But Its important if I wanna live. Sugars? No no no.. not for me..

This morning I started with a veggie omelet. First I tried to make it with egg substitute since eggs are so full of cholesterol.

FAIL!

FAIL!

It was a gelatinous mess. I was so grossed out by it, I basically made a fritter out of it and gave it to K. He ate it up with pleasure. I didn't have the balls to watch him. I walked out of the room and made my way to the fridge for the real fucking deal. I got the egg whites, spinach, mushrooms, onions and garlic... mixed the eggs whites... da da da da... grated a tad of 50 percent reduced fat extra sharp cheddar cheese. Covered it so the cheese can melt, while buttering my 1 slice of whole grain toast (with trans-free canola margarine of course). I set it all in a small dish and proceeded to pour myself 8oz of Almond milk.

Yum.

Lunch was just plain sad. It was tuna with mayo on a slice of that dense bread. And a half a small tomato. Yup. It was supposed to also have lettuce but I forgot to add it. The cool thing was that I got to use my food scale to measure 3oz of tuna ^.^

Here is the lunch...



It took me about 51 minutes to eat it. I really don't think that bread is the best tasting.

My afternoon snack was a little tart but sooo good. Its non-fat plain yogurt, blueberries and walnuts. It had a cup of yogurt as the serving and I knew I couldnt eat all of it. The tartness threw me off a little so I added a teaspoon of agave nectar which boosted the flavor. Mmmmmm Deliciousness =)



Last but definitely not least.. Dinner. I felt as if I was dining on Ambrosia. It was more than what I expected. Red pepper, Mushrooms, Onions, Yellow Squash, Brown Rice and 3oz of chicken breast seasoned with garlic and herb. The meat was tender and juicy. This is one I will enjoy again and again.
