Caffeine, please
Today's weight: 127 pounds. Today's temperature: unchronicled. Today's brain: mush.

I also realised that yesterday's adventures peeled a certain amount of epidermis off the tender inner sides of my arms. I now look as though I recently suffered a patchy sunburn. At least I don't seem to have latex allergies, though. (I should've shaved my arms, and that I knew as soon as I started ripping rubber, last night. Although apparently Bedhead's Hair Wax, smoothed on generously in the direction of growth, will serve as well.)

Consumed, or to be consumed, thus far today:
one, frittata of spaghetti squash and flaxseed, with tofu mayo and sugar-free pancake syrup (I felt that since I was eating oats and whey protein at one in the morning, I probably didn't need to start right out with carbs);

two, pumpkin oatcake with pumpkin/Jello pudding glop (it was quick and easy);

three, salad with tomato, red pepper, 3 oz chicken, 1/4 cup edamame, balsamic vinegar.

And after that, mystery!

Speaking of food, the last time I was in Sobey's I saw (among the l*w c@rb items spreading through the shelves like a rash) the much-lauded Dreamfields pasta.

US dieters have been singing the praises of this stuff for a while now, in my online experience: "Tastes great! Lose weight!" So I brooded upon it for a bit, wondering if perhaps it might make a nice treat... Then I looked at the nutrition information. For a serving the same weight as a regular pasta serving, it has 100 more calories, more grams of carbohydrates ("protected" carbs my buttocks, but I will leave my "net carbs is crap" rant for now)... and, as if that weren't enough, the ingredients read like a chem lab, and include, among other things, my nemesis, sugar alcohols.

Yeah. Sure we can market you something for the new trend, we'll just add some sugar alcohols. In pasta, for pity's sake.

Anyway, I prefer the Nutrition Kitchen soy pasta. Half carbs, half protein, no ingredients at all but soybeans, and though the texture isn't quite like ordinary "white" pasta, it is good and satisfying to the tooth. Plus, it comes in exciting colours, yellow, green and black. Eat that, Dr. bloody A$$kins.
