deathpixie | Hooray, blood sugar!

For some reason yesterday, I had a major foodflat on the way home. Which is my terminology for a blood sugar crash - you know, where you get all shaky and hot, and you can't seem to actually use your brain at all and your emotions go all over the place? Any way, one of those. And before you all growl at me for not eating, I'd had lunch. Spinach and chickpea casserole with cous cous and salad. At around 1 p.m., while the flat hit at around 6, on the train (I'd left work late). And of course, being in the throes of a food flat, I had it stuck in my head that I couldn't eat until I'd done the kitty litter and by extension, taken out the garbage (actually, I hate doing the kitty litter after eating. Stinky bleah).

So, once that was all done, I microwaved one of the emergency meals we have in the freezer, ate half the salad on my plate whilst waiting for the food to heat and had a half-glass of Coke, which stabilised things a bit. Then I went and crashed for, oh, twelve hours - I've been pushing things a bit and foodflats always take it out of me in a big way. I woke up hungry again this morning, and I've just had a bagel with light cream cheese and a bottle of cranberry juice, so I should be good. Protein dump of some kind for lunch today, I think. Possibly fishy something. But yeah, blood sugar's inching back up to somewhere normal at last.

I just wish I knew why it hit like that. Like I said, I'd eaten lunch, and I've been taking the B12 (which is the other reason for them), and it's not like I've done anything resembling physical exertion beyond helping Mindy and Greg move house. Could be the change in weather and the system wanting extra fuel for warmth, but goodness knows there's plenty of insulation there already. :P
