I have whatever insurance is calling an annual physical next week and am having labs done Monday.
I realized I had this unrealistic plan to eat REALLY healthy before the test and now we are down to this weekend. Last year, both my cholesterol and my A1C were slightly higher than is good and I was going to change that over the last year.
Instead, I started a job in a kitchen and now I am sneak eating what I have available to me: mostly bacon and fruit smoothies. I really need to stop that.
My point is, cramming for any test at the last minute isn’t the best plan.
While I can’t render an informed opinion as to the totality of the OPs dress-up and courtship rituals, my sense is that it isn’t ending well for the pig in question.
I’m stumped thinking about the OP’s occupation in a kitchen where the available foodstuffs are fruit, kale, and bacon. What sort of a restaurant or food truck or whatever just stocks that combo?
Or perhaps they mean they work in a fully stocked kitchen with many kinds of real food but fruit and bacon are their favorite snitches.
As a diabetic for well over 10 years now I can say that the good news is the only tool most (not all) folks need to control their health is a spoon. The bad news is they’re the ones steering that spoon and so have to make that choice every time they pick it up.
it’s a kitchen/deli restaurant inside a grocery store that primarily stocks organic food and supplements (meaning somewhere I can’t afford to shop, frankly).
We have a huge variety of good food including home made soups (usually we have one with meat and one vegan).
We also have smoothies that are mostly fruit but also kale, protein powder and various other options in milk or nut milk . (peanuts in the PB&J)
we use a lot of bacon (BLTs, Turkey Club) and that, plus the smoothies, is just what is easiest to graze on when there is a slack moment and I’m hungry.
of course, I’m not supposed to be doing this. I’m supposed to buy a meal and eat it on my break.
