I confess that, I originally swore I wouldn’t do the “dozen eggs a day” part of 5/3/1 Building the Monolith, but I think I’m ready to reconsider given the following
@flappinit I think your Mrs would accept this approach

I’ll add to the foodgasms in here:
I ate a disgusting amount of this
Short ribs sautéed in EVOO, deglazed with red wine, and slow cooked in beef broth with an entire head of garlic for 4 hours until you couldn’t touch them with a fork without them falling apart, served topped with sautéed mushrooms and pancetta, and boiled baby potatoes tossed with butter and parsley on the side.
And earlier today was this
Double grass fed beef burger with pepper jack, jalapeños, guacamole, chipotle mayo and crispy tortilla strips on a wheat bun.
My confession is that I told my wife yesterday I’d think about setting us up with a meal plan that’d have us shredded by the time it’s beach weather. I will soon, but today, I failed - deliberately.

I’m so glad for that. At a glance I thought those were olives.

Marriage civilizes us unfortunately. My good china is still all paper though.

I’ll defend this particular situation by saying that my wife broke the only concave serving dish we had, and the candy cane plate is the deepest one we have. I anticipated the short ribs leaking a lot of liquid, and I was right.
Now that we’ve cleared that up,
Tonight I peed sitting down in the bathroom that’s closest to my kids’ rooms so as not to wake them up.

The sink would have been a quieter option.

I confess my puzzlement was due to thinking the little flowers/candy canes were an actual part (garnish) of the dish, not merely decorations on the dish itself. Two similar “D-uh?” moments lol.

I confess that I finally went and got fitted for running shoes for the first time in my life. My feet and hips have been bothering me worse after each run so I knew it was time.
I’ve been wearing shoes that are 1.5 sizes too GD small for 15 years

Done with the carb-loading, back on protein and fats.
This is grilled chicken, cubed and fried in olive oil, covered in cheese and taco sauce.
Good shit
Edit. Nevermind the plate…long story

Confession:
When I see a band advertised as an X-lb or Y-kg I get a full on rage.
Its elastic.That force does what to the band? Elongated it by what unit, and how many times can that be done before it reaches its maximum potential?
Or does that take it to its maximum elastic potential - and what length is that?
Its like being told the volume of a weight plate. Great just leave me to guess the density.

DId you make a pizza with cheese as the base?
If so, I confess I hadn’t thought of that

I confess I’ve strapped dumbbells to my bands just to see what kinda force I’m putting on them when o use them lol idk if it holds up under the laws of lifting things science, but it makes me feel better.
It depends on how far you strech them. Hooks law states that in a uniform elastic body the amount of strech or compression is proportion to the force.
So if you have a 1m band and 5kg force stretches it .5m then if you stretch it a full meter (total length now 2m) you’re using 10kg force.
I know it’s odd I get like this. But I’m an engineer. And it’s important to me.
