In A Quandary...Sweet-tarts or Watermelon..THAT is the question

So about a week ago I stumbled across this nifty little piece about getting in your dextrose post-work out on bodybuilding.com and as I researched it I found that there are those who get it by eating Smarties or Sweettarts...Hmmm.....I had some in the house...so I decided to give it a shot.

So I took them on Wednesday (took them LOL, like they're medicine or some good supplement or something LOL) and I did again on Friday. On Wednesday I thought that they gave me a tummy ache since my body just doesn't like refined sugars so much after all these years....Okay, my body revolts every time I eat it like it wants to teach me a lesson. I still decided to give them one more chance on Friday to just be sure. They are quite convenient and they are there.

Friday afternoon as I was doing my thing I kept feeling like I had something in my throat..OH NO, I thought I was getting some kind of throat infection UGHHHH sooo NOT good at this point....Please, nothing to derail me, not now. Then it occured to me, diabetics get VERY dry mouths and throats when their insulin levels are very high.....it made me wonder....Did I spike my insulin TOO high for me?

Sat and Sun came and no issues with my throat so I am seriously wondering now if it wasn't the massive insulin spike.

So here I am, on Monday morning....just finished my breakfast, meaning that the gym is within 2 hours away from my arrival....So my quandary is do I run over to the little store and grab a small watermelon to use that (it was the highest GI fruit I came across in researching) or do I make a baked potato before I go to the gym....The watermelon WOULD be faster acting I think considering it's mostly water and easy to eat....almost like a liquid dextrose supplement.....The potato wouldn't be as easy to eat cold walking home from the gym (JUST EWWW!).....Or I can give the Sweet-tarts ONE more try and get the watermelon later on and have it ready for Wednesday.

I did write a little box full of inspirational and motivational quotes for one of my team challenges and one of my quotes was....

"Don't put off 'til tomorrow....what you can DO RIGHT NOW!"

So maybe that's my answer....I do however need a bit more coffee and to listen to my playlists here to give me the energy to move my butt to go over there and get the watermelon.

So I'm gonna hang out and jam and wake up.
