Glucose Testing


Today was my glucose testing, which I've kind of heard horror stories about how disgusting it is, but I survived. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, probably because I worked myself into a tizzy thinking about it. Plus I had a regular appointment, and now weigh 180 pounds, which means 28 lbs of weight gain. Despite all efforts to stay under 30, I've decided that I eat healthy and stay active so wtf, if I'm gonna gain 40 or 50, that's life.
So the glucose drink would be great for hummingbirds in Leakey. I got fruit punch flavor (i.e. bright red), not the much described orange, and it was cold and even though I hate really sweet stuff, I didn't really mind it. I really couldn't believe how much of it I had to drink; I guess I expected just a dixie cup or something. It was gross, but probably not as gross as some store-bought cakes I've eaten. I just wondered if that was supposed to be my extra 300 calories for the day? Is it sad that my first 'food' post is about this?
