Getting Muscled

Beat my personal best on the stationary bike 2 times today.

Did a total of 30 miles in 2 hours (divided in 2 with a one hour rest between them).

Burned 743 calories according to my HR watch (SparkPeople says almost 3000, but the estimates are always way over on those. I always enter my time and burn manually into the tracker rather than using the presets). My previous personal best was 10 miles in an hour (once, lol)

Also, last night, standing in the hallway waiting for my son to get out of the bathroom, I put my hands on my sides...

OMG what a shock. At first I was almost scared thinking I had found some weird hard lump, but then after I moved my fingers around, I realized I was feeling my obliques!!! HARD AS A ROCK, all up and down my sides. Yes, there's still plenty of fat there, but I have never felt that before. Solid muscle. My legs are starting to show that as well, but I wasn't expecting it on my sides. Wow.

Great Documentary on the Effects of Sugar

I saw blog today about a movie I'd never heard about. It's called "That Sugar Film" about the effects of the predominance of sugar, and especially HIDDEN sugars in so-called healthy foods today.

All I can say is WOW. I truly believe it is right on the nail.

I've long believed the aspects outlined in this film, but only recently started 'living' it... and living it really has made a drastic (good) difference for me.

It has for my hubby who has type II diabetes too. 

This is so worth the watch. It is a real eye-opener. 

Here is a link on Amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/That-Sugar-Film-Damon-Gameau/dp/B0132THKIA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489430725&sr=8-1&keywords=that+sugar+film

(It's free for Prime members, and only like $2 for non-prime-I think)

 Netflix has it, but only on DVD, not streaming (shame on you Netflix). There may be other places as well, but I haven't looked further than where I could get it easily on Amazon.
