Called it. Way too stressed right now. Really bloated, can’t breathe, shaky, lightbheaded, I’ll pop some pills and see if that helps. If not I’ll just try again Wednesday

Today was wild. My Parkinson’s Lady was kicking asses when I got to the rehab center. And I mean literally kicking broke hip or not. She is normally the most docile person I have ever met. Complete psychotic breakdown. Anyway the day got long in a hurry.
I ahould get credit for the loaded carry of the 1980’s solid wood nightstand from way out in the parking lot to room in the rain though…lol

Absolutely. That’s the exact work that gym-carries emulate. Well done.

Notes to self.
Really felt like shit the other day. Absolutely racked my brain trying to figure why? I have done so well this last year. I know there has been a lot stress but surely nothing I can’t handle. Then it dawned on me…
When I got home Saturday I was starving. Thursday when I was at the big grocery store I picked up some chorizo. Ended up making me some chorizo and EGGS. The last time I ate EGGS I didn’t feel so good but thought meh. The time before that I ate them fried and didn’t feel so good.
I am going to give a few weeks and then try it again. If I get ill I will know to take eggs off the eating list.
They don’t seem to bother me in baked goods or stuff like that, just when I eat them straight up.
How you can develop an allergy/intolerance to something you have eaten your whole life?
On a happier note.
My new cheap ass knee sleeves came yesterday! These feel really nice. Can’t wait to try them out tomorrow!

That the same with me and nuts. Seem to have developed a mid-life allergy.
And I, too, got my new cheap knee sleeves! Haven’t tried them yet, but they seem to fit at least.

Eggs are definitely easier the live without than nuts! I LOVE nuts.
Which ones did you get? I got the ProFitness sleeves. Very heavy but seem to fit nicely.
Got some random but well rated stuff from Amazon in the UK. I want to say…Bear Grips. Complete with bear claw logo, rawr. They actually seem very solid, and ended up being cheaper than the thin, shitty sleeves I am replacing that I bought at some local chain.

I think your theory has merit! Maybe the eggs you had were even not the best, or the way you cooked them might have been a problem too, or the pan you made it in might have had some wild oil or something left in it!

Nice work CL.
One question you’re doing the daily dose of DL? I thought they were supposed to be singles? and not a set of 5?
Just curious

I’m now mildly allergic to:
- Cheese
- Milk
- Beans
- Eggs
- Fun
So any cheap, tasty ways to get protein and calories. I figure that’s my bodies way of telling me I’m getting old.
How you feeling now chicken?

I have exactly the same ones that I’ve been using for a few weeks. Seem to do the job for me. I got a nice snazzy black colour because it matched my handbag.
Thanks! And you’re right, they are supposed to be singles and I have been doing them more like a rest pause set. I have just been really pressed for time and haven’t felt great so I have just been trying to get it done. And we all know following directions is not one of my super powers…lol

Yeah, I got the black ones with white stripes. They look swell. +1 to strength, +5 for coolness.

Is that a D and D reference or am I just not cool enough for school?
I have strongly mixed feelings about my kids growing up having fun. I remember what 14 year old boys do for fun.
That sucks. I knew I was getting sympathy symptoms from somewhere, been feeling low level crap for weeks.

Mine is the safety police 
I frequently ask him if he is sure he came out of my stomach. 
It will pass. Not my first rodeo with this. Hope you get to feeling better!
