Word/picture vomit

It's 6am
I'm on the train on the way to work.
Last night I fell asleep with ear buds in my ears. I must've gotten tangled up in them cause I woke up and they were broken.
Wahh!
I keep spending money on bad food.
So thicker waist, slimmer wallet.
I spent like 100 bucks on airport food last month, that's really embarrassing.
I'm the worst texter ever!! I apologize if you ever text me. I'm a procrastinator and I suck at responding.
People who talk about themselves on the constant need to just stay away from me. 50/50 conversations people!
I'm sick of people using my quiet nature to just chatter endlessly about themselves. When my eyes glaze over it means I'm not interested in what you're saying.
I bought my first pair of boots yesterday, they're pretty cool.
I don't have a pic of them on my phone otherwise I'd put it on here. They're like brown combat boots, kind of.
I've been eating so unhealthy lately and it's bringing me down!! When my diet isn't in check I get so slobbish and disorganized......and negative. Hence this post.
A hurricane is coming. I don't really know what that means but hopefully nothing catastrophic occurs.
Also, creepy airport employees let me be! I've got like three creepy 40 year old dudes thinking I'm their best friend, walking me all over the airport. Just because I'm nice!
Newsies with the Anderson ladies in two weeks!! Woo hoo!
Now I'm gonna start choosing random pictures for this post. Until next time!!!!!!!!!
And no more freaking sugar for me.

I've been trying to find an AZ cross stitch that isn't hideous, one that I would actually want to hang in my house. 

I like this one.

Blogging From Work

Currently bored beyond tears.
The store I work at in the Philadelphia airport has acquired a kiosk-cart type thing and I'm working it right now.
People just walk right by and ignore me. Which is fine because customers are the worst.
I also get to sit so that's pretty cool.

Oh and I made friends with my cart neighbors Rosy from Xpress Spa and Sahed from Hot Shades (sunglasses).

Living the life.

GMO's and trans fats

As many of you know, my schooling goal is to get a degree in nutrition. I'm not in any place to be in school at the moment though so I've been educating myself by reading random books. Knowledge! That way maybe I'll be ahead of the game when I start up at MCC (gah) again.

So the book I'm reading now is called Read it Before You Eat It by Bonnie Taub-Dix....it talks about how to decipher food labels and actually understand the lingo and such on the nutrition facts panels.

People, what is up with GMO's??

I cannot believe they allow that crap to be in food.

GMO, or genetically modified organisms, are created through gene-splicing techniques. Which means they're taking DNA from one species and injecting it into another species, creating combinations of animal, plant, bacterial, and viral genes that don't occur in nature. I guess in doing this, it creates pest-resistant crops and allows them to grow and thrive in the most adverse conditions. Most corn and soybean crops are GMO'ed. Corn is in EVERYTHING you guys....so 75% of the processed foods we eat have GMO's. We don't even know the long term effects of this crap, we're probably slowly mutating into something crazy. Anyone ever seen I Am Legend?

Onto trans fat. How sad is it that I didn't even know what trans fat was until recently?
Most trans fatty acids in the diet come from partially hydrogenated fats that are man-made, like shortening and margarine. Trans fats raise the bad cholesterol (LDL) and lower the good (HDL). And because the body is unable to metabolize, burn or use trans fats (your body is like what the hell is this chemical unnatural nonsense you're feeding me?) they build up and clog the arteries. So basically if you eat trans fat, it ain't ever coming out of you. Gross!

And just an FYI, because so much negative attention has been surrounding trans fats, the average consumer generally knows they are evil and to avoid them. So now those scheming manufacturers are ditching the trans (and labeling packages with bright neon "0 grams of trans fat!!") and instead loading up on saturated which isn't good either. So be on the lookout for that.

Yesterday I searched my parents kitchen far and wide for trans fat and found it in a Stouffers frozen 3 meat lasagna, which also had 1,200 mg of sodium. My mom wouldn't let me throw it away.

And that's the end of this little rant. It helps me learn to write it all out like this.
Take care of your bodies, you only get one!!
