Let's hope that this happens, Charlie.
So I have new hypothesis re: white sugar. I was grossed out by it and was only doing honey, but today used sugar in my coffee/milk/cocoa powder (trying cocoa powder again) concoction. I think it feels "cleaner." Like I don't notice it, more sustaining, something like that. That would be nice b/c honey is a pain in the *** b/c it is so expensive and I need to use much more of it to taste.
Also, thanks to people on here, I found the caramel crunch chocolate bar (some organic one at whole foods) and this DOES NOT HAVE SOY LECITHIN! And it is not too dark. I don't like dark chocolate anymore. It tastes like dirt to me. It was creamy and milky and yummy.
Also, I (we did a lot of grocery shopping) surveyed the instant coffee choices at all the stores and held off for the Trader Joe's brand. I found the organic one, Mount Hasen, but was unmotivated to spend more. I just tried the TJ brand. It was SO MUCH BETTER than my nescafe. Like a zillion times better. Stronger and richer. Not so much like something pretending to be coffee, which is what my nescafe tastes like. No bitter weird aftertaste either. There is the Italian one that I see everywhere, in the tiny bottle, that is instant "espresso" but DAMN, that little thing is expensive! Anyway, I loved my coffee.
Also, I am gravitating toward milk with higher fat now. I like it much better. I got 2 percent organic at Trader Joe's and after trash talking the poor pasteurized OJ, I got the organic not from concentrate, pulp-free one at Trader Joe's. They didn't even have the unpasteurized REGULAR (not organic) OJ at Whole Foods. Only the organic unpasteurized one, which was 10 dollars. I don't think so!!
Also, we got liver, and I am going to hard boil an egg and make pate with it. One egg should hopefully be fine. For some reason, I am grossed out by the liver by itself right now (we got calve's liver), so I wanted to do the pate.
I am feeling quite happy. Probably b/c I haven't been studying at all!
Also, I did stairs again, (outside by the ocean), which is what I did last night. But this a.m, I did it in this spot where the sun hit me so I would get vitamin D. After reading about RP's view and others who follow him on concentric exercise, I am figuring out a way to make the whole thing stairs) concentric, by not extending and straightening when I am going DOWN the stairs.
Obviously going up the steps IS concentric, but down, I notice if I am not careful, I "lengthen" through my hamstrings and kind of dump forward, as one does when they are softening the movement when moving downhill. Instead, what I started doing on the way down, was keeping a bit of a bend in my knees and even trying to land evenly on each foot as I am stepping. Also, I am doing everything with my mouth closed and breathing through the nose. Weights are still up in the air. While I LOVED doing them, I am not sure I am ready for it. I noticed I was overstimulated and then tired like 2 days later; may just stick with core body exercises instead, but this is pretty boring for me b/c I am VERY strong so I can basically hold poses almost indefinitely before getting tired, while with weights I can pack a lot on and cannot do as much. I will say that not leaving the house to go to the gym, which entails driving, etc. is much more efficient.
While I am keeping an eye on coconut oil for internal use (just had like 2 teaspoons today), I cannot use enough of it for my hair. It makes it look like "fancy lady hair." hahaha. That's what I call it. How women's hair looks after they do all that straightening, etc. I am FAR TOO LAZY to bother with this, but the coconut oil works great. I put it in and then kind of twist my hair in a sort of braid/twist and put a bunch of ponytail holders on it and it kind of soaks in so it doesn't look greasy. It was looking sad for a while after I did that honey thing to help my scalp and staring at a layer of fuzz on my head is very unappealing so the coconut oil really helped.
