Glucose Test
I had my glucose test this morning. I was very nervous because when I had mine with Little man I was down in bed feeling so ill afterwards and I don't think I got up until the next morning. I had R stay a little later this morning so I wouldn't have to take Little man with me. I got up at 5:30 and got ready so I could be at the lab by 6am. I was very hungry on the drive there so I was very worried that the rest of the day was going to suck. I drank the new and improved Dext.rose which wasn't fizzy at all and fruit punch flavored, which was a million times better than the syrupy orange, fizzy crap I had to drink last time.
I returned to the waiting room at 6:15am and then the wait began. I brought some school reading to do because I had an hour to kill and it worked great to pass the time! At 7:12 I went back and she got me all set up and drew my blood. When I went in the first time I discussed with her what happened to me last time and she said that I needed to eat immediately afterwards and be sure that I had protein. I think that was my mistake last time, I'm pretty sure I probably had carbohydrates. So I called R on the way home and had him cook me two scrambled eggs. I proceeded to add two pieces of peanut butter toast and milk along with my eggs and I've felt great. I've been sure to stay away from anything sweet and load up on protein.
The main problem I'm having today is that I'm so tired from waking up at 5:30am. I have so much to do today to get ready for our Chicago birthday surprise. I'm glad I don't tutor tonight although I still have a lot to accomplish. I'm thinking about taking a little nap and then being super productive this evening. Tonight I need to get all my freezer meals put together and in the freezer so everything stays relatively fresh. Yesterday I did one, BBQ Pulled Pork, it was really easy and I ended up getting three meals from it. We ate it last night and then I had two huge portions for the freezer so I'm sure we'll actually get more like 4 meals out of it. Tonight I'm preparing Sloppy Joes, Teriyaki chicken, Salsa burgers, Meat loaf, Dijon Pork, and Caribbean Jerk chicken. Wish me luck!

WE get our tax return next week and will probably get a Costco card then. I'm hoping to start the freezer cooking by the end of the month. I'm so curious to see how it goes for you! Was it hard to do all that cooking at once? Did R watch the kid?
I hear so many blogger talk about how terrible their blood glucose tests are based solely on the drink. Maybe a lot of labs out there use the fizzy kind. Mine wasn't fizzy with either pregnancy. I think I had orange once last time and fruit punch the other, and this time I had fruit punch. I wouldn't want to sit around drinking them for fun, but they're not too bad. It's unfortunate every lab can't get that kind!
