GWW X Head Drip stuff:
I will be on my feet the WHOLE FREAKIN' WAR. None of that dress shite this time. Also, my hair will be long enough that I won't show up to Court looking rather like a confused pirate in drag. 'DuRags are neither period nor flattering, nor do they go well with formal 12th-century black gowns. Next time, I will go with the shorn, recovering-from-lice look.
- Sew 3 T-tunics using the Ceridwen method (cut, serge, French-seam, trim if time) - Have the linen already for at least two thigh-length ones.
- Buy 2 or 3 pairs inexpensive khakis in brown or black.
- Find comfortable, orthopaedically-correct, solid black tennis shoes.
- New cooler(s) - large cooler for GWW, look into smaller cooler for weekend events or bottled water only. Preferably a cooler that retains the cool longer than 12 hours, like the current one.
- Wash the Tulley hats. They'e filthy.
- Baste the WB trim onto the Tully hat, use scraps to decorate the other one.
- Look into some lightweight/cheap cotton undershirts [in the men's section of Big!Lots].
- Remind myself not to be staff this again next year, no matter WHO begs me to.

- ETA: Make a camp/shower dress from a 5XL tee shirt from Broake&Thumbe.

Woot!

169!(barely...)

Aaaaaand I have to pee like a racehorse. o.o:

But between the tea, water, and supplements, eating just isn't as captivating as before. Hm. o.O; [And those of you up on asian tea, go on and google 'weight loss wu long' and ponder just how many people are taken in by such a scam.]

In other news, I'm still a moron. Diet and exercise will not change this. >.< Forgot my timecard at home 3 days running. Foo. So I'm getting paid laaaate this time. Oh well.

Because I'm trying to lose weight, dammit. None of my pants fit anymore. Again. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Glycemic Index List of Foods
Using the glycemic index

-- 11/8/2005

Foods with a GI of less than 55 cause a small blip in blood sugar; those in the 55 to 70 range raise it a bit higher; and carbs with GIs of more than 70 send blood sugar through the roof.

Besides helping you control your blood sugar levels, choosing foods with a low GI can also help you lose weight. That’s because low-GI foods are digested slowly and help prevent the spikes in blood sugar that can cause food cravings and lead to weight gain.

If you do choose a high-GI food, try to combine it with a low-GI food or a food that is high in protein or fat. This will slow the absorption of the high-GI food and prevent your blood sugar from rising rapidly.

Foods listed in italic type are high-GI foods that you need not avoid; these foods, such as carrots and watermelon, contain important nutrients besides carbohydrates.

Foods listed with an asterisk are low-GI foods that are best eaten sparingly; these foods, such as potato chips, are high in fat or calories--and don’t offer much else nutritionally.
