Looking for some online reading this weekend? Check these out:
A sad tale of bread gone wrong – Karen at Best of Mother Earth recently learned that her all-time favorite bread has been transformed into a third-rate loaf. While she’s quite disappointed (I understand since it now contains crystalline fructose), she gives us the important reminder that we must take matters into our own hands and read those food labels. That’s right, do not pass go and buy any food until you know what’s in it.
- More tips on eating healthy – Here are some tips from Scott on how to eat healthier. He doesn’t use the words “healthy lifestyle” in his article but that’s exactly what he’s talking about – creating changes that last longer than one or two weeks. Check out his article and see if you get the same message from it like I did.
- Save some money with your oven – Here’s an energy saving tip from Birney that you can use when you’re cooking your 6-Week Body Makeover recipes or any other clean eating recipe you’re preparing in the oven. I really enjoy Birney’s tips, and while his blog isn’t about health and fitness I recommend you check out some of his other articles, also. After all, why not save on your energy bills so that you have more money to by those cute clothes for your fit body!
And in other news:
- Are you a rose gardener? – If you’ve been doing my 31 Days of Loving Yourself Thin series, you know that I highly recommend the teachings of Louise L. Hay. Something you may not know about her is that she is an avid gardener, and in honor of her 80th birthday a new hybrid rose has been named after her. It’s a beautiful, apricot rose and if I were a rose gardener I’d order one of these.
I will though, be planting some of my own whole foods this spring; some of the same foods that I currently eat (peppers, tomatoes, green beans). I’ll be letting you know how that goes. š
I really like scott.
the most important thing (in my eyes…and which he also pointed out) is DEFINE THE CHANGE YOU WANT.
when I was a counselor I so often found that people were/became frustrated that they were not achieving their goals when they never **truly** defined them.
come soon on MizFit is that trite but tue SMART Goal reiteration.
have a great weekend!
Thanks for the link back and for the absolutely excellant description of crystalline fructose, it wasn’t hard to decide that I want nothing more to do with natural ovens now that it has that ingredient in every loaf

@M, spot on, you can’t get what you want if you don’t know what you want. š
@Karen, sure, np! I’m sorry that they messed up your favorite bread though…..I hope they get the message with a decrease in sales!
Here’s an easier way to eat healthy, without having to read all those labels: move to France, and only purchase food from local shops.
When it comes to bread, French bread is in a different league, because the French take pride in their artisan products and adhere to high standards of production.
It’s a question of where we place our priorities.
Hi Matt,
Well that sure is a solution, and it would be an awesome adventure. I’ve visited France but I cannot say that I’ve lived there. If I had the opportunity though, I just might do it – and not for the bread. š
