After A Hectic Weekend

April 29, 2013
Well it was a hectic one, Keyra did get to ride her bike with no trainers on it, yippeeee for her.
Trin did great at Gymnastics, she got 3rd over all and 8th vault, 6th floor, 2nd beam & bars.
So proud of both of them, just when I thought they were on their way home I got a call that Keyra had to go to CHEO by ambulance as she had an allergic reaction as they were leaving McDonalds, so after a long night they arrived back at my place at 4 am and headed for home by 10am after a few hours of sleep.
So once they were off I headed to the gym, I let both the girls read my blog on the weekend and they both liked what they read. So I did 75 minutes today on the elliptical.
What did you do this weekend, I love the warmer weather?

I thought I would share some information on Reduced Cholesterol Claims.

Reduced cholesterol claims on plant based products – If you read claims of ‘no cholesterol’ or ‘cholesterol free’ on plant based margarines and oils like those made from canola, avocado, soy, olive and so on are redundant given almost all vegetables do not contain cholesterol.

Terminology to disguise ingredients – I thought I would add a list of terms that are commonly used to replace terminology such as fat, sugar and salt.

Fat Margarine Butter Vegetable Oil Lard Shortening Full Cream Milk Full Cream Milk Powder Egg Mono di or triglycerides Chocolate Chips Cocoa butter Tallow Animal Shortening Copha Whole Milk Solids Butter Fat

Sugars Honey Malt Sugar/sucrose Molasses Glucose Syrup Fructose (fruit sugars) Dextrose (glucose) Corn Syrup Sorbitol or mannitol Disaccharides or Monosaccharide’s Modified carbohydrate Raw sugar or brown sugar Treacle

Salt Sodium chloride Yeast extract Kelp Soy sauce MSG
