Howdy y'all....
It's been awhile; I've been dealing with a lot of stuff and haven't had time to blog, but now I'm back.
So much drama has been going on: grief, work, school...(I took my orgo final today, though I'd rather forget that ever happened).
Amid all this, I finally had a moment of joy—my slice of happy. That happiness was found in the the bottom of a .99¢ bag of CVS® brand gummi bears.
Yep. Gelatin candies made my day, today. I was up all last night and the night before—with a 2-hour nap in between—studying for my exam. I didn't want food-food, but just something to snack on while I drew my Friedel-Crafts mechanisms and Clemmensen reduction reactions. Gummi bears were the perfect solution! Over the course of 18 hours, that was all I ate—just the one 4-oz. bag!! Four-hundred-twenty calories total; I didn't binge! For once...
Anyhoo, in addition to being a fat-free food, gummi bears also provide 3 grams of protein per serving! Yeah, that exclamation mark didn't make that sound any more exciting, but I'm just trying to look at the bright side of eating nothing but candy for a whole day... I wasn't really hungry because of the Adderall® I had taken earlier, so the gummi bears were just enough to keep me happy.
I know I'm going on and on about some silly candy, but I'm just feeling really good right now. I prayed the Rosary before I studied and I prayed before my exam, like I always do; so I'm not stressed right now... just TIRED! #OMG. I had to will my body to come to work after school; I even took a nap in my car... sOoOo exhausted.
Welp, I'm going to be leaving in an hour and I'm going to hit up the mall to get my nails done, then get a massage—I DESERVE IT!! I think I'll take a nap before "Real Housewives: New York" tonight at 10pm, then go back to sleep! So happy to just RELAX.
I'll be back later to update you on some recent events concerning Y and my ex-boyfriend—I know the 7 of you are on the EDGE of your seats in anticipation!!!
Toodle-loo folks! :)

I love gummy candies too!! They are so tasty.
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't speak for all seven, but I can say that I am trying not to fall out of my seat in anticipation..
ReplyDeleteErm since I failed that Nutrition course at school, you'll forgive me if I say that I was always under the impression that sweets of all sorts, gummy bears included, (I like my gummy sweets fruity flavoured and plastered with lots of granulated sugar), were full of stuff that made you fat. Guess I was wrong eh?
LOL... Yes, they'll make you fat if you eat them a lot, but as far as their composition, they contain no fat. Fat is found in foods from made from animals (especially red meat) and some plants (avocados, coconuts and the African favorite, palm oil!)
ReplyDeleteBut gummi bears are just sugar, sugar, more sugar and coloring!
