If protein burned fat my time low-carbing would have left me a stick figure. Albeit a really strong stick figure.

So I called the cleaning agency about the missing items. They were very understanding about my dilemma over not wanting to accuse anyone, but equally, wanting to know where the items have gone. They're going to investigate. Good good.

The protein/fat misinformation started to appear around the time of Atkins, from what I can tell. I definitely benefit from a low-carb diet, but I don't believe this myth that you can eat any protein you want without it affecting your weight. Unused protein turns into fat, right? That's what I remember learning in science class.

They're going to investigate.

Excellent, Seska.

I've had a very exciting morning. I went to the dermatologist for my annual mole check, and she decided to take two off then and there just to be safe. One was new since last year (left hand), but one I've had ever since I can remember, on my right hip. Is it weird that I'm going to miss that mole?

Then I came to work and went to go find a place to put a dumpster, and ended up with quite the follow-up list of People Dumping Things Where They Oughtent* and Should Really Know Better.

In lovely news, my dad who's been unemployed for quite some time has been offered a 9-month contract, so that's good.

Also, KBD is sick. This is quite the feat considering he never leaves his apartment. I am torn between wanting to take care of him and not wanting to get sick myself.

And now it's pretty much lunch time.

* Is that a word? Did I spell it right?

Unused protein turns into fat, right? That's what I remember learning in science class.

Weight isn't as simple as "calories in/calories out," but the very simple answer is that unused (meaning more calories than your body needs to create energy) food in general, regardless of its composition of protein, fat, and/or carbs, turns into fat.

Oh, Erin, hon. Those BASTARDS.

Yo. Wrod. I mean, I hated the job, wasn't right for me, but I SHAGGED ASS. And I kinda need, you know, a paycheck and health benes.

Oh, Erin, hon. Those BASTARDS.

Aw geez, sorry Erin. Best of ~ma for something new and better, soonest.

smonster - oughtn't (ought not contraction)

I am inspired by the delurking thread to try to post more regularly again, instead of just picking your spicy brains when I need help in a debate and then fading back into the background.

So, morning lovelies!

Erin, what in the SHIT? I am so sorry.

Hey, EpicT! Good to see your pixels. And thanks for the correction. Dur.

They DO eat Funyons, Gud!
