Cheated a tad bit yesterday: I had whole wheat pasta after dinner - I […]

Day Nineteen - Food Log
A bit of a pig today. Starving. I did have an ounce of dark chocolate, which is allowed. So I bough a bought a bar of Lindt Dark Chocolate, the 80% chocolate, it only has 5 grams of sugar and is loaded with fat. It wasn’t bad - it was bitter […]

Skeletal muscle tissue is composed of two fibers, actin (thin fibers) and myosin (thick fibers).

Muscle fibers are classified as Type I, Type IIa and Type IIb fibers. Within the fast twitch muscle fibers, type IIa fibers are considered intermediate between fast and slow twitch fibers in relation to speed and contraction.

Day Eighteen - Food Log
Tried the Morningstar Farms veggie dog. We won’t be trying it again, I can assure you. El yucko! Bought some V8 juice for babyboy to try. Gotta get veggies into him somehow. I even tried to get him to eat lettuce with ketchup on it. No way, jose.

Skin Changes
Weirdness on the skin today.
First, a bit of history. I have permanent (I think) lymphedema in my left leg due to a blood clot I got when I was 29. The leg stays swollen. My skin as a rule is drier than most, but on my left leg it gets *really* dry. Alligator skin. […]

Donuts
Babyboy’s teacher brought donuts to his class this morning. They are going in earlier this week because they have an extra class an hour earlier.
Guess the bimbo thinks that this will assist in waking them up and assist them in their learning. Here’s an idea: why not give them extra recess time? That’s what they […]

Sugar
Man! Talk about a huge difference.
OK. Regarding sugar. Yesterday I literally dumped cinnamon on my oatmeal. So bad that there was no way I could eat it all. I tried - I had no more oatmeal made and it takes at least a half hour to make.
So I decided on Kashi Go Lean Crunch. […]
