Sugar
Tuesday, October 27th 2009
One of my chores during my weekly stint at the food co-op yesterday morning was to restock the books and periodicals. One book that's been selling again lately is "Sugar Blues" by William Dufty. (Since most co-op members understand the problems with refined sugar I assume they're giving copies to other folks.)Seeing the title made me think about how much better I feel since I've reduced my sugar consumption again. I absolutely have a more consistent level of energy and none of th...
Why?
Sunday, October 25th 2009
If anyone comes by this way and can tell me why I sometimes see this on the "Daily Summary" page of my CK Nutrition & Exercise Manager, I'd love to know the reason.

I got two things out of the event yesterday evening: a boatload of sodium and an introduction to Zumba!My weight bounced up 2# this am; my feet, my hands, my lips were swollen and my eyes looked like two water blisters.

Everything is in pretty good shape (only the garlic left to plant in a prepared bed) but now I'm in a tricky spot and today is going to be a test of will.I didn't see any change on the scales this morning so I don't have the motivation that a new low would have given me and I'm tired; typically this is when I'm tempted to curl u...
Food Inc.
Thursday, October 22nd 2009
If anyone is looking for another reason to think about what they're putting in their mouth and the mouths of their children they'll find it in "Food Inc." We saw it last night and even though I've read Eric Schlosser ("Fast Food Nation" ) and Michael Pollan ("The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals" ) the images in the film made their arguments even more compelling.More than the tragic story of a mother who lost her preschooler to E. coli...
