My Life as a Guinea Pig

So the sugar sweetened beverage starts tomorrow, I and have picked up the first load of food for it.  I'm picking up 2 days worth of food at a time, which doesn't seem like much, until you see how much it is:

Seems like a lot, until you realize the cooler bag is loaded with these:

8 of them, 4 a day full of lemonade.  10 ounces in each container, for 40 ounces of lemonade a day.  Guess who won't be drinking lemonade for a while after the study is over?

The refrigerated stuff took up a whole shelf.  Luckily, it actually looks pretty good, but we'll find out for sure tomorrow.  The non-refrigerated stuff is mostly bread, cereal, and some fruits.  Also note how many Nalgene bottles of lemonade I have.  Sadly, the beer is not part of the study, can't touch that until afterwards.

I'll leave you with a picture of my fat cat.  I noticed recently he has a decided belly now, just 6 months after being rail thin.  Might be kitty diet time soon.....

Why hello there

Haven't been on here for a while.  School and life has been keeping me busy.  Just finished finals for this quarter, so I have the next week and a few days off before Spring quarter starts!  I'll be working off and on for the Center for Public Health, maybe going snowboarding, and probably gonna try competing in a local IDPA match.  Other than that, not much going on for Spring break.

Can't remember if I said this earlier, but I got into the sugar sweetened beverage study!  I'll be starting that later on this month, so many more pictures and details to come when I start it.

My whole class, together in picture for the first time.  This was right after our big WIC presentation, so I figured since we were all here and dressed up, we should get a picture of everyone together.

Cat's like beer apparently as well.  Oh the things we learn in college.

Look what I got!

Could it be the new Pearls Before Swine treasury?  In my hands a full day before it's even supposed to be released??  Yes it is, thanks to Amazon's fast pre-order shipping!  Happy late birthday to me!  Thank you Tami!
