i had my monthly doctor's appointment on friday and had a 1 hour glucose tolerance test.
meet my arch nemesis:
ahh... the generic orange "glucose drink #050". how i remember you fondly. you tasted faintly of melted orange popsicle mixed with flat mcdonalds orange soda.
first of all, outside of a cake eating contest with a really great prize, i'm not sure if there would be any reason in life to ever consume this much sugar in a) one sitting or b) such a short period of time. it is an odd feeling.
secondly, i was all about the challenge. as you know, i tend to be a teeny tiny bit competitive (who me?!!) and my body was ready to kick this glucose test's ass. it was actually even doing a little bit of shit talking... "don't you MAKE me prove i love sugar!!" "oh you think you're gonna make ME change MY diet?? i don't think so, glucose drink!"
an hour after grimacing on my last swallow of orange nastiness i had my blood drawn too see how effectively my body had broken down the sugar and got the results yesterday. i passed with flying colors!!! woohoo!!!
i celebrated with easter candy and a heaping serving of my mom's homemade banana pudding. its like i said... don't you MAKE me prove i like the sugar!! :)
