I'm double worried. Since I have lost my job, it seems to be taking forever for my insurance paper-work to get processed. I'm running low on my meds, running out more precisely.
However, since I've been pretty strict on my low carb, I've started having more moments of dizziness and light-headedness. Nothing severe, just know my sugga is low. I think my meds might be a tad too high. Once all of this insurance mess gets sorted and I've taken my weight down a little more, I'm going to see the doc, see what she thinks about lowering my meds.
Of course, to counteract this - I cheated. Didn't want to, ran out of options. I'm helping my friends by going to their place and letting their dog out. I was running late for letting the poor thing out, but wanted to get food so I didn't pass out! On the way to their place is a PCC. These stores are exactly where the hippies meet the yuppies - over priced, pretentious "natural" foods. Silly. But, I thought I'd have a better time there finding food on my diet than at the pizza place in the same strip mall.
No dice! Everything was bread or pasta. Their desserts were certainly tempting. The cold beverage isle was either water (I don't pay for water!) or bottled drinks so loaded with sugar as to be laughable. Not a normal diet drink to be found.
Gave up on them, running out of time on the poor dog's bladder, I went to Subway, got a double meat Club on wheat. First, that's a freakin' expensive sandwich, I never really paid attention before. The way I'm currently eating, I could have eaten for two days for the price of that sandwich. Second, could they put out a few more chips and cookies? Could they torture we carb cheaters just a bit more, huh?
I wanted the chips but passed. I oh so REALLY wanted the cookies. I don't know how I got out of there without them.
So, phooey on PCC and Subway and the Teriyaki place that was closed on Sunday - I could have made an easy choice there! The whole world is out to make me fat! Well, fatter!

Don't they have "Five Dollar Foot Longs" at your Subway? Coulda got a lunch meat sammich. Prolly way cheaper.
*smiles* When I was doing Atkins (set's see... 2001? Lost 50lbs, but gained it back)... I would get salads instead of subs at Subway -- they can take any sub and change it into a salad -- or so I was told. Since I like Tuna, that was usually my favorite (and I believe Quiznos does something similar).
As for PCC, you can usually find sodas with Stevia (lo-carb sweetener),or its new 'american' counterpart, TruVia. I like it, and the Sobe Lifewaters (adult Koolaid, as far as I'm concerned)use it. My fav is B & Bluer Berry, or the Mango melon one -- both are rather tasty, and have vitamins I really need.
Oh, and the PCC deli has good roast beef and cheddar (sliced, for making quick Roll-ups). Tasty and beefy... :-) Although it does seem to me that it'd be damn hard for me to be a vegetarian, because I'd starve from lack of decent protein -- PCC is not an easy place for me to shop (and Whole Foods is not that much easier).
Am still looking for a good Low Carb pasta. Barilla makes one w/17 grams of protein, and I like it, but it's not the best idea. Am still working on that one.
