this is blood-sugar friendly japanese food:
salmon sashimi and chawanmushi.
take note: this is what i am supposed to be eating at japanese restaurants.

this is not-so-blood-sugar-friendly japanese food
it is what i am NOT supposed to be consuming at japanese restaurants,
but sometimes the taste and thought of eating forbidden foods...
just makes it wayyyyyy tastier than it is.

i love the chewiness of the udon.
and the sushi rice is a very occasional treat.

and this is evidence as to why ben and jerry are my two favourite men.
strawberry cheesecake ice cream is heaven in a scoop.

and finally, here's proof of the carb/sugar-induced rush we had -
one of many photos taken using the self-timer on my camera!

and okay, i admit to the whole diabetes blogosphere right now that after that massively carborific meal, i didn't hit the gym. neither did i hit the gym the following day due to an allergy which affected my eye, and which warranted a trip to the doc's to get me some antiseptic eye drops. today, the elliptical is mine!
