Work Business requirements and project management have become my life at work. Health I'm allergic to peanuts! It's good to know what keeps causing my throat to swell! Tried some peanut M&Ms earlier and had swollen throat, racing heartbeat, etc. etc. within ten minutes. Fucking sucks. Time to find new protein sources... Life outside of work, great. My ankle is kind of fucked but it should be something which can be fixed with physical therapy. Seeing basically the best in PT in town as far as running injuries goes. Time to buy a bike (I have no idea what to look for when it comes to buying one, help???) and climb more... Climbing and Girls Hit my first indoor 5.11 climbing yesterday, which considering I'm two months in is pretty fucking fast progress. Stoked, and can't wait to climb outdoors for the first time this weekend!!! When a girl says "hope you're okay with lots of climbing dates" you know you've found someone great. Or, at least I know that she's great for me.
Any good ideas? I think I eat too much beef jerky. I'm going to buy some peanuts, even though I don't really like them. I'm trying to replace baked goods with hard boiled eggs with some success. I still love a morning scone, but if I swap them with eggs a few times, I figure I'm slightly better off. Congrats about climbing and girls! Sounds great!Time to find new protein sources...
Pumpkin seeds are surprisingly good. I'm vegetarian, so losing peanuts and almonds is a problem...I've also purchased both pea based and whey based protein powders to see how I handle both of those. Hard boiled eggs are something I've been trying to get into for a while, but I hate cooking in the morning before work.
Dude hard boiled eggs you can do two dozen at a time like two weeks ahead. https://www.marthastewart.com/354061/perfect-hard-boiled-eggs
Ditto kleinbl00 on this. I make them six at a time and keep them refrigerated. I'll peel three before work and take them in a little plastic dish. Works pretty well and keeps me away from carbs two mornings each week.
These things are the shit Egg in one, a little ranch in another
Eleven dollars? I'm still using generic plasticware I got free when I opened a bank account in 2003.
Update for you and WanderingEng. Tried it out last night. Now have two eggs, a tomato, spinach, and grape salad as a lunch. Looks really good, probably going to make it more of a regular occurrence.
Can't have almonds anymore because I'm allergic to those, too :(
Yeah. Those aren't as bad as peanuts, but they make my mouth tingly and dry and cause nasal congestion. Too many almonds and it starts to replicate the peanut symptoms, which are much worse. Losing tolerance to a food sux, for sure.
I eat peanuts a lot. They get good. Get the cajun ones if you can. I also eat a lot of eggs. If you're fancy you can do egg whites; that way MyFitnessPal doesn't nag you about your cholesterol. Wanna be impressive? Look up "omelet mouselline" and make that. Yummmmmmy. One of my tricks is I'll buy one of those big family trays of chicken tenders, throw 'em in a big ziploc bag with a couple tablespoons of rub and throw 'em on the grill. Then I'll eat them all week. You can also buy some greek yogurt and a thing of yogurt dip. Put that in a wrap/tortilla? With like a shit-ton of scallions? Maybe a celery stick or some spinach? Yeah my nutritionist told me to up my protein by a factor of like four.
Bought some store brand hot and spicy peanuts last night. The only reason I didn't eat the whole tin is because I have a kitchen scale. These are way better than I remember.
