Something curious happened last night. It seems that when I have salad with "normal" dressing, I end up peeing a couple of times that night. If I have a "low cal" dressing, I might be up three times! So, I'm going to gin up a blog entry listing the number of times I pee, with one category for peeing less than 2 hours after going to bed (the normal "drank too many liquid before bedtime") and a second for "diabetes caused late night urination" (for obvious reasons when peeing during the remainder of the night). I'll add a third entry for nights I barf (I don't process fats very well any more) and a link to my "food blogs" so that I can determine which meals are harming me. This will be a bit disquesting but from what I can tell, my food blog isn't even showing up on the "recent published blogs" so I don't think it'll get comments. The only threat to this will be me losing interest and not keeping up the entries...

Breakfast: Left over spaghetti and home made sauce plus a can of D.P. (The homemade sauce was 2 pounds of ground hamburger well browned, most of an onion added to the mix after draining the fat and adding the six (6) cans of tomato sauce, a very small pinch of chili powder, a very small pinch of ground cinnamon and several (3 to 5) shakes of a seasoning mixture called "Italian Seasoning"). Then, I took a chunk of Pharmason{sp} cheese and ground it onto the spaghetti and noodles. (So much better than the pre-ground canned stuff!)

Snack: One bag of Sunshine CHEEZE-IT Baked Snack Crackers (Net Wt. 1.5 oz)

Lots of sodium (360 mg) and some sugar (1g); no wonder this shit tastes so good! I'll have to come up with something safer to snack on at work. I suppose I could go with popcorn but the stuff from the microwave bag doesn't taste as good as these Cheeze-It. Probably a sign that the popcorn is beter for me?

I'll have to either stand at the stove and pop corn in a large pan (the old fashioned way) or finally get around to mounting my air corn popper somewhere.

Lunch: Healthy Choice Cheesy Chicken & Rice White Meat Chicken With Rice In Cheese Sauce Carrot & Broccoli Medley

Snack: I had a medium Dairy Queen choclate milk shake. I guess when I get too hungry, I just go for the sugar...

Dinner: Salad with some roasted chicken, some bacon bits, raw broccoli and low cal "French" dressing...

I drank water with this.
