Mio review

I have just now been forced into the new blogger format. It fucking sucks. I still can't scroll when on my phone. Which makes reading my comments impossible. So my apologies for not approving comments I got on my last post. I can't read them yet. Anyway this is post 299. I'm still not satisfied with my banner but I'm telling myself to fucking launch anyway. I work tomorrow tho, and a few days more, so it'll be a bit before I get on the internet via computer. Anyway I really wanted to shout from the rooftops over Mio a liquid drink mix I just found. I know it's existed for awhile, I even have a picture of Samantha DJing the official launch somewhere in my collection. But I just now tried it. It's at work right now so I picked up the strawberry watermelon. It tastes kinda like Kool Aid but is easier to use I think. Because you can flavor just one serving at a time. A few squirts into my water bottle and shake it up. I don't think I'll get it at work again tho...the SALE price is 3.99 while walmart's price is 3.78 or something. Only the sale + employee discount brought it below walmart's price. Also walmart has ALL the flavors. Walmart online also let's you design your own Mio 3pack. For like 12 dollars.I think I'll get another strawberry watermelon, and then try the fruit punch and the berry pomegranate. Mio has no calories! None! It does have artificial sweeteners. Walmart lists the ingredients so check them out. The bottle I'm holding has acesulfame potassium listed as one of the fake sweeteners. And sucralose. Maybe I'll try the peach tea w my fruit punch & berry pomegranate. I'm not a big watermelon flavor fan, tho real watermelon is tasty. The fake flavoring seems off. But I gotta get more Mio....this stuff could be just what I need to get more water in me. I've already finished the 20oz bottle I tested my Mio with. I never drink water that fast!

Did you know if you get fat enough you'll haven constant heartburn? Endless fun! Not.
Ugh, this sucks. My eating habits really suffer when I don't post. The only good news, barely good, is that my new high weight is only 1lb more than my old one. I'm still fat, but only gained 1lb in the past month. Yay?

The heartburn does a decent job of keeping me away from food, since a full stomach makes it worse. I've had water, some milk, and a myoplex lite bar spread out over the past 14 hours. I've had a few hunger pangs but when I bend over to look in the fridge or cupboards the heartburn flares up... laying down is uncomfortable. I haven't slept well. Which means concentration is shot. My coding is driving me crazy. And that really sucks because this is Post 298 so I need to get on the ball. Someone tell me I'm being too much of a perfectionist. I watched EGS change a few times and I loved seing those dear characters develop. I even liked watching the comic format change, watching the coding changes. So why do I feel a need to have everything set in stone? I'm being an idiot!!
Another brief hunger pang. Then I leaned forward slightly to fix my sock and the acid reflux burned along my breastbone. This sucks. Where the hell did my Tums go? Although the problem is pressure on my stomach, the weight of the fat pushing normal acid up. I don't have stomach acid problems. Damn, just bending over looking for the Tums is uncomfy! This sucks! Found my vitamins tho. Oh yay they're all dated for this year. The krill gelcaps expire this exact month. The rest are later this year. I'll have to toss the chewables but they tasted kinda blagh anyway and I wasn't eating them. I did pick up a tiny 50ct bottle of swallow centrums and I found my PillGlide so I'll see how big they are. Cuz chewables aren't that tasty. Unless I go back to the kiddie ones...I'm willing to do that. But I just found the chewables and they're marked March 2011 whoa!

Think the best course of action is getting into ketosis again. The acid reflux already has me not wanting to eat so all I really need to do is get some protein to protect my small muscles from the ravages of gluconeogenesis. I still don't fully understand the chemistry and doubt I ever will, but the gist is that the body breaks down proteins in a complex path to create sugar from non-carb sources. Deliberately going into ketosis is only dangerous if you're diabetic or have some similar metabolic problem. I'm still fortunate enough to have a fairly normal metabolism. I've also done this many times before and my body is now used to switching over. I don't think I'll have any problems. I just want the heartburn to stop.
Damn, I'm tired.
I've been putting coconut water in my protein shakes. I've got VitaCoco plain coconut water and VitaCoco coconut/pineapple blend. I tried the blend first...it's too much for me plain but makes a great addition to my shakes. Makes them thick and creamy mmmm. Then I found 4 old bottles of another coconut water brand and I want to use them up. So I'm all set for this new weightloss attempt.

Samantha and Erin Foster broke up. Sadness. But Samantha seems glad to have dated her, and called the relationship healthy. My guess is Erin wanted to settle down and have lots of kids. Samantha adores kids, but she also likes her job and Erin kept dragging Samantha out of bed earlier and earlier. Samantha called the split amicable and still seems on friendly terms with the Foster family. So that's a yay. Sara Foster's little baby girl is such a cute cherub, and she adores Samantha and Samantha adores her.
Samantha also has an article in the May issue of Elle. I may have to buy it. Ugh buying an entire mag for a single article sucks. Maybe I'll get lucky and other articles will be worth reading too.

Gonna try to sleep some more. Fucking heartburn!

still here

I'm stalling cuz the 300th post is coming up fast and I want it to be my comic launch!
So of course I'm doing feckall to get it posted. ADD kittyme is overly focused on the hair, and distracted by my sucky attempts at formatting the website (I want light blue background dammit!) And messing with the borders because I accidently made my two "finished" comics two different sizes.
Oops.
And I thought tabbles could have their own background colors now but clearly I'm coding something wrong.

So here's something to distract you:
It's an old video that some film major did as a project in like 1997. Seems he found the old tape and digitized it and slapped it on youtube. My crush Samantha Ronson makes 2 appearances. She has a brief monologue while doing a facial or something (cute accent) and she's briefly seen holding a (toy I'm sure) gun in the "fight" scene.

And the bloggerbox cut my link code...wonder if it'll still work.

I have an old embarassing vhs disaster video too somewhere....my brother conned me into being the "damsel in distress" for a horridly awful "project" bro's best friend was doing.
Ugh it was so pathetic. The funny part was R playing the woodchopper who eventually rescued me. He had one line.... he just said "damn" for each time he spoke, so he'd play around with saying it different ways.
Did I mention it sucked?
So seeing Samantha in something kinda cheesy...is nice ^_^
