Got my blood work back. Surprise to NO ONE who has ever met me, I have elevated cholesterol. If you've ever eaten my fettuccine Alfredo, so do you!
But this one did come as a surprise...
I have (slightly) elevated blood sugar. See how sweet I am? Inside out, right? Amazing, finally tangible, measurable proof of my sweetness.
Anyway, now my main focus is unsweeting myself. I know to all of my contemporaries this may come as a shock. You're likely to think "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! not your sweetness!" but yes, I have little choice.
So, now the second massive transition in my adult life is on... First, years ago, coke was out.... sweet tea was in... In phase 2, sweet tea is out.
Replacing that is even more of a challenge. Right now the semifinalists are as follows;
A. The long shot rookie from sweet tomatoes... Unsweetened pomegranate tea...
B. My newest friend light lemonade by minute made. No extra sweeteners
C. This is the "Joey Chestnut" option. You hope it won't win but there's a pretty good chance he'll be there at the end... Anyway, it's water!
Maybe more to come... Feel free to offer your own solutions
