Salads tend to make my belly very unhappy. I actually had to stop eating them at lunch.

I canāt blame the eggs unless thereās something that mysteriously changes when I boil them compared to fried or scrambled. I ate a decent chunk of ham, actually had seconds. That had me thinking about the dose and potential toxins in the pork. But I kept regurgitating the lettuce all night. Iād burp and a little bit would come up, but none of the pork or eggs came up. I guess some people would call that a clue.
The funny thing is that I guess Iāve wanted to blame the lettuce and canāt for the life of me figure out why I wanted a salad in the first place. Iāve started making everything spicy, so maybe I just wanted some spicy ranch. Iāve been putting ketchup and sriracha on my fried eggs (and I love every bite and eat it every day) and I mixed the low fat ranch with sriracha to get a lower calorie version of sriracha ranch for the salad.
Oh, well. I ate three packs of flavored tuna and a bowl of soup for lunch and did fine. No veggies tonight!

Yeah, raw veggies just open themselves up to a bunch of issues. Weāve been conditioned to think of salads as āhealthyā, but itās honestly a poor approach to take in veggies if thatās the goal. Some kimchi or sauerkraut wouldnāt be a bad call, but they donāt make great ranch vehicles, haha.
The mixing up egg prep is actually a good move. John Meadows talked about how we seem to see intolerances develop in people that eat eggs prepared the same way for too long, and would recommend mixing between scrambled/fried/boiled etc. Given what we know about how simply cooking an egg in general transforms how we digest it, it stands to reason that HOW we cook it changes things too.
Pork used to be troublesome. Trichinosis was a concern, but we donāt tend to see it in modern farming.

One of my favorite ways to sneak in veggies is to stir fry them and then scramble them with eggs. Very yummy.

Good to know! It kind of happens naturally here. Iāve been making mine similar to yours but my kids tend to like them scrambled so thatās an easy audible if Iām feeding more people than myself. And the boiled eggs make great work snacks since I donāt have the time or means to cook them (I work a lunch duty so my lunch is standing by the food trucks).
This reminds me of my breakfast from the fall of 2006. Iām not kidding on the timing; I actually remember. I discovered The Abs Diet and implemented it in September of that year. I dropped 15 lbs in a month and didnāt measure a thing. The Abs Diet basically tells you to eat good sources of foods that occur in nature (very ground breaking). I had a class that required me to go to a senior citizen group fitness class at 6am MWF. My breakfast after the class was steam in the bag veggies thrown into an omelet. I liked the stir fry mix the best.
Thatās way too much rambling to tell you that I agree with your veggie/omelet approach.

I thought about doing conditioning today but didnāt have time anyway. My wifeās great aunt passed away and she canāt make the funeral tomorrow, so I accompanied her to the viewing tonight.
I feel like doing the assistance like a circuit adds some conditioning anyway so I could fudge it as light conditioning. Regardless of that, I left the gym feeling accomplished - my body was challenged but not punished; my heart rate was up but not red lined.
