Last night was pretty cool too. Erin suggested that we pull ourselves together when we finished work on the new flat and went to Jen and Sana's cake party, where I ate cake I wasn't supposed to. It was fantastic cake and I feel not sorry at all for eating it.

By lovely surprise, Khi and Bekka were there. Well, I was expecting Khi to be there (that was half the reason I didn't object to going), but Bekka was a nice extra. We ended up chatting about the OTC and war games and various other stuff, which was cool.

Sadly, it kept me up until 1am, meaning that I was a tad tired when I was up early today to got to Ikea with Hal (who hung about with us for about 5 hours while we bought a ton of furniture).

Still, good party and today was damn productive.

Mmmmmm ... cake. I'm jealous. I love cake. Why were you not supposed to eat it?

Erin's not supposed to eat cake because carbohydrates are what set off the nasty bits of PCOS, and having done some research into it I'm fairly convinced that carbohydrates are the main cause of insulin/diabetes problems and also much worse for your diet than protein is.

So I generally don't eat sugary things at all and I try to eat low amounts of carbohydrate.

It's the refined ones that are bad: white flours (including pasta), potatoes, white rice. A diet based on whole grains and nice oils, with a healthy dollop of protein but not too much red meat or dairy, should be fine. So you can eat whole wheat granola cake. Whee!

Well, yes.

Strangely nobody brought wholegrain granola cake to the party.

Bastards.

"By lovely surprise, Khi and Bekka were there. Well, I was expecting Khi to be there (that was half the reason I didn't object to going), but Bekka was a nice extra."

Is my understanding of the sentence off, or did I just become a motivational item!? *Highly amused*
