Canadian food giant ' Robin Hood ' ran out of bags. This appearance is the much loved yellow background touches of red w/ Robin Hood in forest green. There is still flour but ' white ' generic bags.

My workout schedule remains at 3 days < weights and elliptical, rowing and calisthenics , weights and elliptical > followed by a day off.
I've been YouTubing and watching more TV. A show on fitness for beginners narrowed in on weights.
The benefits are tone and strength of course but more importantly weight training < even light weights 10 - 20 lbs > can increase heart rate quickly BUT have long lasting results < up to 72 hours of increased metabolism >
The study group was small on the TV show, say 10. These were folks that they found out on the track doing their daily jog.
The group went through a series of regular weight exercises but light weights on one hand and slightly heavier on the other. Work the exercise until exhausted. Twice a week, they went for 8 weeks.
Results, they felt fitter and stronger however the glucose test of muscle work showed much improvement.
And left muscles vs right muscles were not different.
Q : will you continue
A: ' all ' said yes
Q: heavy or light weights
A: ' all ' heavy
B/c the heavier weights meant shorter exercise, they tired quicker
My tweak based on this evidence. I use sort of lighter weights < 20 - 25 lbs barbell > but now, that last weight session is each exercise til exhausted - see twice a week just like the test group
We shall see said the Zen Master
