Weekend SotR: In Control

My serum glucose has remained under 150 mg/dl all weekend. Happy happy me. Peak reading was 138 Saturday night.

Snacks That Help:
(info from product labels and Calorie King website)

1. Jerky -- very easy on the carbs; typical 1/2 carb per pack
2. Popcorn (Trader Joe'swhite cheddar) -- 1 carb per 2 cups
3. Nature Valley Peanut Butter bars -- 2 per bar

Tomorrow's medi-crap most of the day. I'm also planning on some WoW as well. I leveled my new Death Knight to 59 and continued leveling the toon's professions. Normally professions grow with a character from level 1, but a DK starts at level 55 with only one skill -- First Aid -- at a level a normal toon of that level would have. This means leveling Cooking, Fishing and the two main professions from level 1. I chose Skinning and Mining for the main profs because they do not require the purchase of materials from other professions and I can sell what I gather on the ingame auction house. My Shaman has made thousands of gold in this fashion.

Skinning and Cooking level fast for the same reason: you get meat and leather from slain beasts. Fishing levels slowly; after the first 50 levels or so, it takes more than one catch to level the skill and the rate of leveling is independent of where you fish or what you catch. At level 300+ it may take ten catches to gain one level point. Mining levels slow because mineral nodes are widely scattered in a zone to begin with and are do not always offer a skill-up when they are tapped.
