I decided that I will not compete this year. The reasons are that I enjoy working out way more when I am not preparing for a competition and I really want to focus more on doing more shoulder and core exercises. I’ve also started doing body weight workouts which are fun, but challenging.
I always read the ingredients listed on food packages before I purchase foods. Some of the things I avoid and will not purchase are foods with high fructose corn syrup and trans fat. Basically, trans fat is made when manufacturers add hydrogen to vegetable oil--a process called hydrogenation. Hydrogenation increases the shelf life and flavor stability of foods containing these fats.
I was extremely surprised to learn that there was high fructose corn syrup in fat-free half .y husband adds it to his coffee in the morning. I am not sure why high fructose corn syrup would need to be included in fat free half and half but there it was? Needless to say, I will no longer be purchasing fat free half and half.
I am not sure why but I haven’t been sleeping well for the past 2 nights. Not sure if it has to do with the Daylight Saving Time change. My goal for the next few days is to get lots of sleep.
