Starpaw's Sanctuary

The web home of Cat Skyfire and Starpaw the Bear
  • Monsieur D'Artagnan Iago Starpaw here, at your service. I am a bear. A traveling bear. I keep company with Miss Cat Skyfire, who also runs this site. After all, it's hard to type with fuzzy paws. Though the whole site is named for me, I'll only have a small part of it to showcase my fuzzy glory. The rest of it is all Cat.

    Posted By Cat on May 10, 2012

    So, I ate a donut at work, late in the day. It was tasty. Then I wandered around the store trying to figure out what I wanted for dinner.

    This is one of the challenges. I don’t like beans. But I need to eat protein. But meat’s expensive. And sometimes, I admit, I’m tired of eating.

    Do I modify, and accept some meals may be proteinless, but keep down portions? Do I make myself eat?

    Right now, I’m eating a ham sandwich. I fell asleep when I got home. (Cuddle with kitties…zzzz. Especially when there’s not much to do. (Okay, there’s things i could do, but nothing that said ‘do this!’)).

    Not sure what I should do overall…

    Argh!

    Posted By Cat on May 10, 2012

    It’s a food day at work.  I made chocolate cups.  (2nd attempt, this one worked, thanks to my sister-in-laws silicone baking sheet.)  Now i can try Mousse cups at some point.
    I did sneak some chocolate last night when I made them.  (Well, a cup broke…can’t…waste…chocolate…)

    So I come into work, for it is a Food Day.  Normally, breakfast things are scant, and people bring things for lunch that I don’t like much, so I’m fine.  No, today, there’s donuts galore, and beautiful bagels.  Argh!  Why doest thou torture me so!

    …so I’, about to eat my natural peanut butter sandwich.  All the protein, none of the taste.

    I did miss my morning exercises.  Instead of shoveling myself out of bed with the alarm, I sat up, yawned, and stared into space.  Then Nim, the Standoffish, decided to crawl onto my lap.  Can’t…leave…cuddling…kitteh…

    Anyway, that’s the update for the start Day 4.

    Snickers Setback

    Posted By Cat on May 9, 2012

    I’ve been bringing my lunch.  Today, I brought the pasta, but forgot to have put something on it last night, meaning it’s more gluelike than edible.  So I didn’t eat it, and had some V8 instead.

    So it’s time for my lunch break.  (I had eaten before, but now is the official ‘leave your desk’ time.)  Feel funny.  Test blood.  A half hour after eating, and I’m hitting 88.

    Uh oh.

    Eat four Tootsie Roll Midges.  Go to lunch, return, still feeling off.  Blood is now 99, but is likely to start going down quickly.

    So, I got a Snickers bar from the vending machine, and am eating it.  (Or will, when it thaws enough.  It’s refrigerated.)  I picked it for the protein as well as the sugar, so hopefully that will help stabilize me.

    Irony: I’m breaking my diet and I don’t even like Snickers that much.

    At least, however, I’m breaking the diet due to health reasons, not just because I can.

    Day 3…

    Posted By Cat on May 8, 2012

    I do not like mornings. Still.  Went to bed early, still so very tired.   I think, properly, I need 10 hours of sleep, but there’s no way I’m going to bed at 9.

    Still eating properly.  Sugar numbers are up, so I’ve returned to meds.  (I’m happy to experiment, but I’m crazy, not stupid.)  I’ll continue to watch numbers, because I also don’t want to be dropping low, and have to blow the diet by drinking some sugar.

    Day 1 – end of day

    Posted By Cat on May 6, 2012

    …so, this morning, I forgot to take my medication.  I am a diabetic, so I’m supposed to…

    So about an hour after breakfast, I tested.

    Hmmm…  that’s an amazingly normal number.

    After lunch part one…

    And part two…

    And dinner…

    All very normal.

    This could be a very good thing.

    Day 1

    Posted By Cat on May 6, 2012

    …with help, I was up at seven.  I did take a nap later…mostly cause i was bored.

    Food…not so bad so far, but have to think more on mornings.  Scrambled taste better than hard boiled.  (Ew, just had a hard boiled egg burp.)

    Forgot to take my diabetes meds, so tested before lunch.  99.  Hmmm.  Will test again in a bit.  This could be interesting.

    I’m supposed to eat four hours apart.  We’ll see what happens in a few hours.

    My new diet

    Posted By Cat on May 4, 2012

    One thing nice about a vanity website is I can use it anyway I like.  And now it’d going to be part of my attempt at dieting.  I figure it’s easier than bugging the shit out of everyone on facebook.

    Today’s lesson.  If you wake up naturally at 6:30.  Get up.  Do not go ‘my alarm goes off at 7′, you will reenter a deeper sleep and it will be harder.

    Get up.
