Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

I don’t see any sign of the people who make this place what it is leaving. I’m just seeing people trying new things, it’s quite exciting.

I confess that at I have only just discovered the beauty and convenience of frozen vegetables. Due to some recent significant weather issues on the east coast of Australia there is a shortage of some salad and vegetable items which is causing the prices to escalate and availability to reduce. This combined with me deciding to drop carbs out of my lunches and go with only meat and veg lead me to buying a bag of frozen mixed greed vegetables (green beans, broccoli and peas). It was so quick and easy to cook and portion out into my meals and there is little difference in flavour. I have no idea why I didn’t do this years ago.

Recently I started eating cauliflower rice, it’s like the best thing ever. Now it makes me want to eat more vegetables in general.

Confession: I remember being younger, pre-kids, pre-working too much, etc. and saying to myself that it’s, “just a matter of wanting it and having the discipline,” when it comes to dieting, and while this is true, I also realized that there is only so much gas in the tank on any given day. With that being said, even the engrained self hatred that a lot of gym goers have hasn’t been enough for me to truly “diet” since we’ve had the girls, I’ve maintained, I don’t have a dad bod, and I look like I lift, but man… trying to make good dietary decisions after chasing the twins all night and using that disciplinary “gas” to be a good parent, is much harder than I thought.

I feel your pain. By the end of the night all I want to do is eat crap food and sleep for way longer than I am able. (Girls aged 6 &4).

They are worth the energy expenditure but it does make things for one’s self a bunch harder.

I didn’t even know we could blame bad diet decisions on kids. I confess I’m excited I have yet another excuse in my never ending Arsenal :joy:

Make enough bad dietary decisions that you get told you won’t be around to see them grow up and suddenly the kids are the cause of your discipline

You’re in college - they have dietitians on staff that you can see for FREE or SUPER cheap. I would highly recommend you make an appointment. You may just need to sit down with someone who can evaluate your diet and your overall thoughts surrounding food. This would be a VERY healthy move for you and it just might solve your problem.

Seriously, consider it! You may not need (read: don’t need) to eat less - but just change up the macro ratios/foods you choose most often. #foodforthought

Is this a common thing? Serious question, I’ve never heard of this at colleges. Maybe my school isn’t cool enough, haha.

Why does YouTube keep sending me annoying irrelevant ads.

Google has far more than enough to information to know that I’m not interested in shit degrees from scam online universities

I think so! I’m not sure how well advertised it is though. Most college/university health centers have an RD and several interns on staff/available. I have several colleagues that are in these positions and have seen job postings for them too - even in SD!! lol

I know this is hella old, but this video gives me anxiety.

I deadlifted 255lbs for 7 reps. I feel unstoppable

Today’s grocery store encounter:
Was at the deli counter - I asked for 8oz Salmon…

Guy behind the counter: *picks up a fillet. Then picks up another. Then a third…*

Counter guy: "would you say that’s more or less than a pound?:

Le me: “… its a half pound…”

Counter guy: *puts 2 fillets back*


Is it just a meathead thing to know weight units really well or am I okay to believe Cali public schooling failed this gentleman?
