i will act in a certian way
as far as salt it has been a horrible day.
i ate my leftover spaghetti and meatballs for breakfast and i had chow mein noodle stir-fry for lunch, and dinner. (chow mein noodles, southern greens from trader joes, onion, garlic, ginger, braggs ammino acids, sesame oil, mushrooms, snap peas, carrots, broccoli and olive oil.) then i made miso soup. (shiro miso, water, dashi stock, seeweed and tofu. )
im cranky and i only left the house to run errands. i went to home depot tp get more paint and i went to ikea to replace some dishes,a mirror and to look at curtain and chair options. slim pickings. every ikea fabric falls on the side of ugly just ever so much at i dont want to buy it.
today i cleaned my room and monday i start school. monday i start school. oh god. why?

you are the only exception.
"you are the only exception..." right now i am fantasizing about singing this to a box of mac donalds french fries as i slowly eat them. ugh... im not even hungry.
its been an interesting whirlwind of days. my dr. called me and told me to come in so we could talk about my blood work. which is never a good thing. when you get tests run or bloodwork done all you want is a call from the medical assistant that says " everything is fine!" not, " please come in as soon as possible, in fact, how is today?"
it turns out that my glucose levels are also through the roof. so most likely i am on the path to diabetes.
my dr. who was nice the first day and has now become short tempered and intimidating told me that we would have to put me on some kind of weight loss schedule. as she is telling me this i can see her getting meaner and meaner. and this was the appointment where if she said anything rude i was going tosay "listen dr. i chose you because you were no nonsense and i like that quality in a dr. but i have a lot of questions and i may not be able to articulate what i want to say most of the time but i am not stupid. if you think that my inquires are a waste of your time than iam going to find a new doctor." but instead of being mean she asked me if i had any questions and called me "hon" which of course made me start crying. ugh the embarrassment. then she was like, i know this can be overwhelming, its a lot of information to take in if you have any questions then call me.
so i need to lose 8 pounds in the next 2 months. we are striving for one pound a week to aim low and be realistic. its funny because i was going to try and lose weight anyways and not really tell anyone because i felt that it was time but i didnt want anyone to be watching everything i put into my mouth. now, however i have to tell everyone because im pretty freaked out about my health.
so im like, trying to cook as much as i can at home. im worried about how i am going to deal with food at school but i think it will be able to do it. i can either eat on my way out the door and wait until i get home, bring a snack or pack a lunch, or walk down to the trader joes and pick something up. im going to try and avoid the cafeteria as much as possible.
my big worry is the snacks and packed lunch. i have no idea how to do that. so i guess this blog will focus a lot on that. liek how to make a barley salad. i imagine there will be a lot of salads, and other stuff that i do not have to cook or refrigerate.
today i ate miso soup, a doughnut and a half, three sipps of a too sugary boba drink, too salty chicken and garlic ginger greenbeans, white rice and a jar of coffee.
i need to buy more veggies. oh and also, my second foray into vegetable broth was a disaster. im not going to use leeks next time, i dont like the taste.

you know i like my girls a little bit older.
today was an ok day food wise. day wise it was amazing.
i started the day with a trip to pixar my friend gave us an amazing tour and it ended in a full chicken pillared with brown rice and asparagus. the rice was a bit mushy so i didnt eat a lot of it and for the first time in my life i couldnt finish the whole thing. so i got a to go container and then for dinner i ate the left overs and a bowl of japanese potato/ carrot soup with glass noodles that keyon made. very salty.
then i went to a show and when i came home i ate 2 grilled cheeses with wheat bread and a bowl of chicken soup with rice.
this entry is pretty boring.
but the band that i went to see is not.

the fruits of my labor i enjoy them while they still ripe.
it started out as a good day. i began the day with pumpkin flax seed granola and a bananna in sheeps milk yogurt with strawberries. then i made the mistake of not eating for the rest of the day.
tonight we went to a project runway type fashion show where the winner only one because all of her friends showed up to vote. the dress it self was a hot tranny mess. i would have kicked her off first.
as the show progressed i became crankier and crankier. when it was over people wanted to go to a bar and i found myself just wishing that they would all be killed by an axe murderer. finally we decided on el farlito. the best burrito place in the mission.
once i began to eat my spirits began to lift. ( its times like this where i think i might have a sugar imbalance.) on the other hand i got a burrito with carnitas and refried beans which sounds bad but i didnt get the cheese or the avocado. thats got to count for something right?
i need to come up with a slew of meals i can take to school with me and snacks i can eat on the go.

love bearly alive.
blood tests back, bp taken. insanely high levels for each.
i suppose today will mark the day that my life changed. for the better? for the worse? only time will tell.
this is what 29 and 9 months of never dieting will get you. 5'10" 280 lbs. lets see where we are later. i think the scariest part is not being allowed to exercise. who the fuck is not allowed to exercise?
it was definitely a day of unhealthy eating. however, i did substitute a salmon fillet for a steak. that has to count somewhere.
did i mention that i finally made a good chicken broth? thanks to mariza. the key i have discovered is not salt. the key is to bring the contents to a boil and then TURN IT DOWN and simmer for a long time. emphasis on SIMMER. noone ever told me that before.
this weeks broth base consisted of this.
2 onions skinned and quartered
4 garlic cloves
5 celery stalks and tops
4 carrots halved and quartered
thyme
2 bay leaves
1 lemon
2 whole chickens (foster farms(costco))
bones of one costco rotisserie chicken.
shitload of ground pepper
parsley
a little salt added after the broth reduced. ( and by a little i mean 2 conservative pinches.)
it turned out pretty amazing. next time i will use one chicken, one rotisserie carcass, most of the ingredients, minus 1/2 a lemon. i will also add mushrooms, parsnip, and ginger.
i've been pouring the broth over plain jasmine rice because i have not had the time or inclination to go to the store. but today i am adding a mirepoix (carrots, celery, onion) and some of the chicken left over from the rotisserie. and of course fresh black ground pepper, lots of pepper.
'
i lost the paper that told me what foods i should no longer enjoy. in my mind it consisted of avocados, shrimp, fried anything, chicken skin, fast food, cheese, whole milk. all things that i believe i do not eat or eat in moderation. ugh, chicken skin. this past semester i think has been my worse food wise. my new vow is not to touch fast food until this problem is under control.
