Life

*points to the "today" part of the title*

That is a disappointment every day! You'll have to be more specific, chum.   

[Parsely]

I'm really disappointed that I don't have any disappointments to express today. Contentment sucks!

Got results of bloodwork today.  I am happy that there are no horrible you are going to die in 2 weeks things.  But I apparently need to cut bread out of my diet, as my cholesterol is completely out of whack.  So I skipped my celebratory 'good news' McDonalds trip after a doctor's visit, so disappointing.

I instead bought a frozen pizza at the store when I was checking my work schedule...  But it's thin crust, that helps right?

You can make pizza crust alternatives out of mozzerella, too.

LMAO that'll help his cholesterol fo' sho!

That does not even sound good.  There is such a thing as too much cheese.  Heresy I know.

A friend dragged me to burger king.  Still in my 'slightly healthier' kick I ordered a chicken sandwich instead of a burger, without the mayo because I hate mayo anyway and it's an easy way to make it healthier.  While it was not as good as a burger,(and was thus disappointing at the time) looking up the nutritional info that turned out to be 'almost' healthy, relatively low in cholesterol, and still reasonably good.  I might be able to pull this off long term after all.

...nah probably not.

Mate, wake up in the morning with a smoked kipper or mackerel on a bed of lettuce, or some have salmon for dinner, chunked and rolled up in raw spinach leaves.  Fish is delicious, easy/quick to cook and good for you, and it'll drive your cholesterol down.  People whinge that healthy, easy and tasty foods is rare, but it's literally swimming all around us.

And it literally grows on trees

What is life without the risk of being poisoned by the greed of men?

[Kagus]

Bread? Cholesterol? How many breads does your chicken lay in the morning?

On a similar note, I'm disappointed that my breakfast cereal options are basically either "40% sugar by volume" or "dry flavorless grains: now with extra boredom". Additionally, the dry flavorless grains option is generally supposed to be made more appealing by a flavored milk of some kind, like one of the probiotic cultured milks... except there again, the selection is between "a spoonful of sugar helps the sweetener go down" and "freshly fermented from the teat of an incredibly misanthropic cow". And of course I just read the bit about how recent studies aren't showing a whole lot of good from probiotics, so there's that.

The reason I'm looking at cereals as opposed to bacon and thyme omelets is because cereal is the least labor-intensive option and thus actually stands a chance of being eaten in the morning... A mediocre meal is better than no meal at all.


And for anyone scoffing at cheese-bottomed pizza, let me just say that my girlfriend recently went through a keto diet weightloss period. She made a lasagna that substituted cabbage for the lasagna sheets.

Cabbage.

[Hanslanda]

That sounds monstrous.

[Doomblade187]

Kagus, carbohydrate intake can affect your cholesterol levels. Small note. Also, in defense of cheese crust: it doesn't taste like cheese, as mozz is pretty mild, and it's just like a greasier thin crust. :3

I am very leery of the lasagna cabbage deal, me and the fiance will likely never try that one.

[Yoink]

I mean, I'm all for inventive substitutes for food items, and I actually quite like cabbage, but... why would you swap out the pasta for it?!
What did pasta ever do to you?? Carbs are your friend, people.


Edit: oh yeah, and I somehow managed to sleep through all three of the alarms I had set today. Unless they just didn't fire somehow?
Doesn't really matter since I didn't have plans for today apart from maybe reading a book and making a start on a certain art-ish project I've been planning, but still. The phone was right by my bed and everything. I guess this could just as easily fit the WTF thread...
