Eating well

I just read the book Eat Fat, Lose Fat, by Dr. Mary Enig. It was an interesting exploration of health and weight issues. Her main premise is that the fat is not only important for health, but is necessary for life. She says to incorporate Coconut oil into your diet so you are getting medium chain fatty acids, which are apparently the best kind to feed your brain and skin and muscles. I have started using Cultured Cocount milk in my protein shakes in the morning and like it. I do seem to have a bit more energy, but it's probably too early to tell.

Autumn

Autumn is here and the trees are like fireworks. The weather has stayed nice, in the 60s and 70s, making me want to stay outside all the time! Interestingly, my apartment has heat from radiators, and although I have the heat turned off on the control knob, my radiators have heated up anyway. So, I can sit by the window and get a cool wave over me, and feel the warmth in my buttular region. So fun!
