JEI

Blood this morning was 4.4, though I did wait till 11AM beofre taking it, so I'm not sure that counts.

Mainly today, we've been taking stock and tidying up in the house. Lunch was fun though - you've heard me bitch...well, even this week, come to think of it, about TMI - how having calorie-counts on foods is both great in practical terms, but also, too much freakin' information when there happen to be too many damn calories in it to let me kid myself it's fine to eat, whereas, without the information printed on menus and packets and the like, this particular Disappearing Man could convince himself everything was fiiiiiiine and chow the Hell on down.

Today we popped to Pizza Hut for lunch, and - as d says, letting my Inner Teenage Girl out to play, my brain was calculating calorie-values, and what happened if you went for the ultra thin instead of the pan, and yadda yadda yadda...

Well, Pizza Hut have (as I mentioned a while ago), taken to printing calorie-values per slice on their menus. But, for the Disappearing among us, they've now taken to delivering a thinner-than-thin, crispy-as-crisps range of practically non-existent pizzas, each of which go under the proud boast of being 'under 500 calories - per pizza' - or 'within daily bikeable range' in case you needed the translation. This, to me, is a classic example of JEI - Just Enough Information, and one which earns The Hut my Disappearing Dudes of the Day award.

Now - back to the kitchen for more washing up...then onto the bike to make lunch a thing of the past!

Can we say 'Obsessive Much'?
