Caught up and Ketchup

Fitness goal set for yesterday accomplished:

Yoga 30 minutes (goal was for 7 minutes)

When you get over the 'have to exercise a certain amount of time' and you do your no stress 7 min. yoga routine - it is so easy to keep on if you want.

KETCHUP:

What a surprise how junky condiments have become. Heinz a good quality (y'ad think) name brand has put high fructose corn syrup AND corn syrup in their ketchup. That means it has to almost count as a dessert portion if used.

Check your labels - barbecue sauce is dripping with the stuff also. High fructose corn syrup is different from just actual corn syrup.

On some portion control programs you could have 1/4 a cup of kethcup - and I followed that - and could not figure out how I was not losing weight. That is way too much sugar to load up without taking into account any other sugar you may eat that day.

Of course that could have been written when ketchup was really just ketchup. It should be called 'tomato syrup' the way it is processed now for fast food and standard markets.

The way/how/when you eat sugar/carbs dramatically affects how you are able to lose weight - this is particularly true for middle aged/menopausal women - but that is another post.

Gotta go 'ketch up' with the morning chores!
