My Fruitive Challenge: Day 71 — JCS Musical

-

 I’m feeling better about performing in the Jesus Christ Superstar musical in August. My goal is to look much healthier on stage than I did last August when I played Pharaoh. I played the role very comically as a chunky Elvis type. Truthfully, I was embarrassed to fill the Vegas jumpsuit the way I did, but I had fun doing it. This year I feel it’s more appropriate to play the role of Judas with an athletic look. That’s what I’m going for at least.

She brings me a backpack, then a life jacket, then a teddy bear. Meanwhile, I'm pointing till my arm is nearly out of joint trying to get her closer to the target. No can do.

My Fruitive Challenge: Day 100 — Fat Content

-
In Chapter 3 of The Engine 2 Diet , Rip Esselstyn emphasizes the importance of reading food labels. While it's common sense to check labels to ensure products are healthy, Esselstyn highlights that labels often lack critical information. Here’s a paraphrase of his key points: Rule One: Be Skeptical of Marketing Claims Marketing terms like "2% fat," "reduced fat," "fat-free," "healthy," and "natural" can be misleading. These phrases might not mean what you think they do. Rule Two: Study the Nutritional Facts and Ingredients List Always read the nutrition facts and ingredients list of every product. Companies can make a product seem healthier than it is. For instance, a drink labeled "2% fat" might actually contain more than 30% fat based on its calorie content. Let's break down the fat content in milk as an example: 2% Milk: One cup (244 grams) contains 5 grams of fat. On a weight basis, this is 5g/244g = 2% fat. Howeve...
