the previous entry isn't any new news.
this one isn't really either.
okokok. let's see...
i have started logging my food intake, in an attempt to both eat healthier and have something for any doctor who asks me what my diet's been like recently. so today i had:
for breakfast:
1/2 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
7 blackberries
2 kashi blueberry waffles
1/2 glass pomegranate juice
for lunch:
6 slices fake ham
i piece lettuce
3 slices tomato
2 slices fake bacon
1 TBS mayo
on a whole wheat kaiser roll.
for dinner:
3 fake chicken fingers
1 cup peas in low-fat butter sauce
a twix bar.
see, i was good right up til the chocolate craving hit.
and really, how boring is all this? seriously, suddenly i'm chronicling my food intake. i should be shot. put me out of my misery.
in other news, did i ever mention that Older Sis works for an endocrinologist? she's going to talk to him about me. hopefully he'll be willing to treat me under "charity care" for the hospital with which he's affiliated. and as an aside, can i tell you how much i detest the phrase "charity care?" it's barbaric, truly, that i have to be considered a charity patient in order to receive competent medical care in the united states. this entire system of health care, where you have to be working or married to someone who's working in order to receive health care, is unbelievably stupid. no one should have to worry that they're going to get irretrievably sick and wonder how they're going to afford their medications in a country where doctors can afford BMWs. can i just mention that i live in the state with the largest concentration of pharmaceutical companies in the country? i worked for one, remember? i taught their children. and yet i can't afford to buy their drugs. it pisses me off to no end that we're a country in which people die from lack of access to existing health care systems. and people wonder why i'm a socialist.
i have a computer midterm tomorrow that i'm not nearly prepared for. it's multiple choice, so i'm fairly sure i can wing it. i just don't have the energy to study. and if i go to bed now, i can get nearly 8 full hours of sleep. and right now, i need that more than i need to study.
viva la (healthcare) revolution!
