The Simultaneous Love of Carbs and Sodium

Sounds like the beginning of a commercial for high blood pressure...yes I am indeed addicted. Tonight I cooked up enough chicken dumplings to feed a family of five - I did throw in some peas to at least have vegestable content with my "flour".

I have a dangerous love affair with carbs. Oh the joys of all food things Italian and Chinese :) But oh the sodium content :(

Good thing the gym is close! I don't know what I would do without the gym to help me sweat out the massive amounts of carbs that I ingest. I did receive some peculiar looks while on the treadmill today, as I was yawning throughout my run. The yawning was not due to the fact that my lung capacity has breeched Olympic levels, rather that the television selection was poor ("The Real Housewives of New Jersery" is truely the worst show on television) and my music choice was not inspiring me to pull ahead of my usual speed. All in all it was a good visit to the gym, despite the stampede of children pouring out of the daycare center as their mom came to pick them up. For a moment I thought for sure there were multiple families, but then realized that this lady just had way too many kids.

Tomorrow I will be hitting the pavement, or ice as it were...I will be navagaiting some area hospitals that I am convinced were constructed after mazes. But all is well when you walk with a purpose. I often pretend that I know where I am going and then am not as likely to get stopped and asked to fill out that "vendor restrictions form" (most definitely every outside healthcare reps worst nightmare). Good thing I am not technically a vendor. I am hoping that the staff is not too cranky from the winter storm and are willing to accept my gifts of hot chocolate and informative brochures.

Radon update: the house is fit for human (and canine) habitation. Luckily the levels were well below the "you are subjecting yourself to dangerous carcinogen levels" reading - so I can sleep easy tonight with that knowledge.
