Hardcore Check in October 4,2009 Sunday

[WD]

I didn't see a check in so I thought that I would start one. Today is my rest day. I just got done printing up my worksheets for STS tomorrow. I left the weights blank so I can try to figure out what is causing the headaches and shoulder, neck, delt pain and headaches.
I got my new Clean Eating Cookbook yesterday. These recipes seem like they are all leaning into the use of coconut butter, oil the same as the latest clean eating magazine. Funny, I always thought coconut oil was not so healthy and now things seem to have changed. Also there is another variety of sugar/cane juice whatever sweetener. I have been doing a lot of reading up on these. It seems Demerera cane sugar is pretty much the same as Sugar in the Raw. The latest rapadura is just another method of processing cane juice. Different countries have differing names for these. Sucanat is ground finer. Brown sugar has the molasses added back after making it into the sugar. I guess that makes it more healthy than sugar. Anyway it all seems to come down to cane sugars all being similar but having different processes and some having more mineral content left in them. Muscovado(sp) being the strongest flavor and not so good for sweetening coffee or tea.

Diane Sue-
Where did you order your cookbook from? I ordered from Amazon and haven't heard anything about ship date.

No workouts to report this weekend. I got my period and pretty much fell off the deep end. I start a new meal plan on Monday. This was one that I started a few years ago that sparked a 35 pound weight loss. I really want to give it my all and see if I can't spark the weight loss I need.

Theresa, I ordered my New Clean Eating Cookbook from Amazon. They said estimated shipping date was the 1st. They then sent a shipping date of the 30th saying it was shipped. So I was surprised last night when I noticed it was here. I didn't hear anything till the shipping notice. Good luck with the weight loss. I have gone back to watching the fat in my diet. For a long time eating high protein and a little more fat was working. I think my body has adapted to that lifestyle so I am adding in a few more carbs earlier in the day and trying to keep the fat down to less than 30 gms. This seems to be making a difference in my fat loss. My cholestral and other tests came out great when I went for my physical last month.
