What's the frickin deal??

Okay, must warn you readers, I am in a ranting sorta mood...hence, my blog name! Anywho, I want to talk about food. Huge surprise, yeah? Anyway, I saw this commercial on TV for these oatmeal breakfast "cookie" thingees and was being advertised as the "right" choice in the mornings. Of course, this sparked my interest to disprove what they were saying...cause in my humble belief, most things/people are generally full of crap ;) But on a whole when you hear oatmeal, you think, okay, this should be good for me, right?? Welllllllll, I checked it out. They had like 170 calories and had like 20 grams of sugar... which is INSANE. Like, I compared it to an oatmeal cookie thing from Little Debbie that in no way, shape or form advertises that it's a "good" decision... that had 120 calories and 12 grams of sugar. Does that seem messed up to anyone else?!?! Sugar content in food is just out of hand. I don't know about the rest of you, but sugar (and a lot of carbs in general) is what made me fat and it seems to be in high quantities in EVERYTHING. Which leads me to this frustration that I have had for a while. Like, how am I supposed to continue to make myself more lean when this is what our market is flooded with? Honestly, I can't eat chicken/fish and veggies forever nor am I going to become a farmer anytime soon. Bummer, I know! I think I would look pretty crap in overalls anyways. Erk, awful sight. Anyways, you get my point right??? What's a girl to do???

On another crap note, my treadmill is just not cooperating anymore. I had to like, hold onto one of the rails this morning while trying to run. This would be a bit of a challenge, but at 6:30 in the morning, it's WAY too much of a challenge. I broke down and called the repair guy, who can't come until next Monday (the day before I leave for CA). Normally, I think extended warranties are for suckers, but since my treadmill is actually used for its created purpose and not a clothes rack, I should have gotten one. I'm going to see if they will sell me one while they are out fixing my slight problem. This, of course, is dependent on the idea that I don't put myself in a body cast still trying to use it in the present condition. Would I do that? ;)
