| Turned this card in today for a fancy Japanese knife |
For you lucky ones who have no idea what I am talking about, Albert Heijn is a supermarket chain in The Netherlands that has a promotion: shoppers collect stickers from their grocery purchases in order to buy special edition knives and silverware (last year it was glasses).
So for every 10 euros you spend, you receive a sticker to stick on your collector's card. Once you reach 50 stickers you can purchase one of the knives or a one person set of silverware from the Villeroy & Boch collection.
I know, its the biggest marketing gimmick, but I can't help it. You buy 500 euros worth of groceries so you can pay 5 euros to purchase on overpriced piece of cutlery (I'm collecting the knives).
And for those of you not living here, Albert Heijn is no cheap supermarket. Normally, I would never shop there. I prefer the cheaper supermarkets so I can stay within our monthly budget.
But I walked into Albert Heijn just as the promotion started and I saw those sleek knives and I was hooked. You can even fill-up a card up to buy the ultra modern bamboo knife block. I was sold!
I filled three cards of 50 stickers in two months. Don't worry, I haven't spent 1500 euros on food in the last two months. I had enablers.
Colleagues have given me their stickers and a mother from my children's school gave me an entire card FILLED for Christmas! Best Christmas gift ever!
I am so obsessed I know which cashiers at which Albert Heijn will give you extra stickers. I even figured out ways to get them to give you extra stickers, like telling them how desperate I am to get the kiddie spoons before my due date in February. Ok, I haven't stooped that low, but I whined a time or two to get extras.
Just like any addict, I came to a point where I realized I had a problem. After only filling one card, I decided to give up and decided to buy myself a new set of knives for consolation. That was when it happened: Albert Heijn stickers fell from heaven! I was walking down my street and what did I about step on? You got it, AH stickers! Three of them! Thirty euros just lying there on the street.
I decided it was sign from the sticker collecting gods and I began to fill a new card. However, in order to control my problem, I no longer shop exclusively at AH. I decided only to buy my gluten free products there and if I fill up a card by the time the promotion ends in February, then it's meant to be.
But in the last 24 hours I turned in two of my filled cards and purchased the bamboo block and the fancy Japanese knife from the collection. For my first card, I like the rest of the Dutch population collecting, I bought the set of two knives (more bang for your buck). And I calculated I can fill one more card before the expiration date and I even picked out which knife I will get last (cue the Gollem voice) "My precious" bread knife.

Crazy! It's sick and I am ashamed but seriously, if anyone has stickers they don't want, I'm up for negotiating. I traded half my lunch today for six!

With low insulin (due to zero carbs) and calories at, or below maintenance, the dietary fat cannot be deposited in adipose tissues. The ketozin low-ish protein means that gluconeogenesis will quickly prove inadequate to maintain blood glucose and, whether the body likes it or not, there is still all the damned fat to burn.

Measuring and Testing using power is easy. As I mentioned above my Maximum Minute Power when I last tested was 422 watts, but what was it when I was first tested? I first managed 402 watts, so in testoultra the time I have been training I have improved my MMP by 20 watts. This shows positive movement without having to mess around with maximum heart rates.

Maximum power is more about minutes. Sprinters of course have high sprinting power but climbers have high maximum power. Look at the leg muscles in the pro peloton. The sprinters have more testoultra and are built bigger than the skinny climbers and of course the weight difference between sprinters and climbers will play a massive part in where their strengths lie.

ReplyDeleteDoing any kind of intense exercise after 8 or more hours of not consuming food can potentially result in catabolism. It is good idea to consume fast acting protein, such as whey, or a sufficient amount of BCAA's prior to cardio.

ReplyDeleteThere has been a great deal of debate as to how much cardio should be performed, how intensely it should be performed, and what time of day is most conducive. My take on the debate is that your cardio regimen should be based on what is most convenient for you. Some experts believe that cardio performed first thing in the morning on an empty stomach is optimal. Many people, however, cannot or will not wake up early enough to exercises before going to work. If you already have to wake up at 5AM to get ready for work, then you may not take too kindly to the idea of waking up an hour earlier at 4AM just to get cardio in. The bottom line is this: if cardio in the evening works best for you, then by all means do it. Cardio in the PM is better than no cardio at all.

ReplyDeleteKeep mixing because it likes to separate. Only warm to the melting point. Cool then store in small glass jar. It can then be applied to rashes, bites, and any kind of skin irritation.

ReplyDeleteAs they say, you cannot have everything in this world. You may have all the riches on earth but you may have a 'little' problem in your penis.

ReplyDeleteAs we all know, matter cannot be created nor destroyed, so when you exercise and diet fat is not simply "disappearing" off your body. What occurs is a form change, just like water and steam. The glucose and sugar that is harnessed from carbohydrates are the first fuel sources. Once the glucose runs out, fat takes over. Your body is a constant interconnected conveyor belt that removes essential nutrients from the fat and delivers them to specific body parts. Hormones that regulate our blood sugar levels activate an enzyme in fat tissue called lipase. Lipase ignites fat cells to release triglycerides, which is what makes fat cells fat. When they receive a signal from lipase to exit the fat cells, the triglycerides break-up into glycerol and fatty acids and then enter the bloodstream for use in your body. The process of breaking down triglycerides into reusable energy is called lipolysis which is shuffled and reshuffled to produce heat, water, carbon dioxide, and ATP. Since the fat tissue has lost some of its components, the cells shrink.
