When I get fast food, I don’t eat the fries until I get home.
Daily reminder on al devices to think of three things for which I’m grateful every day. I’ll do today’s list now:
-
Despite the terrible heatwave in California, I now live in a place with AC for the first time in two decades (uncommon in the Bay Area)
-
My current work is so chill that I can be on Lemmy most of the day between calls
-
My partner genuinely loves our (my) kitties and takes great care of them with me
-
What is good about not eating the fries until you get home? Did you think the benefits would be self-evident to everyone?
When I’m really dragging at work I take a nap.
Is the fry thing really your best habit?
First thing I do once I’ve checked into the workplace is to itemize what I’d like to get done today. And I list a bunch but they’re priorities and not requirements. So I have 8 on the list knowing I’ll only do 3 and then 5 will carry.
And I forgive myself if something comes up and it hoses my achievements. And I refer to it often as I get unfocused fast.
Keeps me on track.
Lifeprotips: ADHD edition.
Every day I get up, get on the exercise bike and watch an episode of Star Trek.
Thanks to this, I’ve seen nearly every episode of Star Trek multiple times.
ToS, NextGen, DS9, Voyager or are you a heretic I need to burn at the stake?
What’s the problem? Has it been a long road? Getting from there to here?
Long, hard, and throbbing.
T’Pol would like to know your location.
Busy hanging with my bro Teal’c.
Ask him some for some kell no ream if you know what I mean. ;)
I rotate between all of em.
Except Picard and Disco…
Enterprise really gets the heart rate up
No doubt that… It’s been a long road
It’s been a long road
I do not care for that show.
But I might rewatch the aughts BSG
Aren’t they cold by then?
The best (IMO) fast food place by me isn’t exactly close. By the time I get home I have to nuke fries and burger. 🤷🏼♂️ Still didn’t have to cook or do dishes!
You need an air fryer. The fries will be back to crispy.
I prefer them fresh but if needed, I retoast them when I get home especially with undercooked fries like Wendy’s . Ensures they are hot and crispy
Interestingly enough, my local Wendy’s has the best fries out of any fast food chains I’ve tried. They are consistently perfectly crisp and salted. Better than how I even remember McDonald’s fries in their heyday.
I do know that Wendy’s leaves more up to their franchisees than some places, so maybe I just got lucky with the people who own the one by me.
Potatoes when cooked then cooled actually greatly lowers the glycemic index, so it’s weird but actually not a bad habit to have!
Maybe true, but they still taste nasty when cold
Nice. My dad is always a firm believer of eating vegetables last to help with digestion, but there are benefits both ways lol
I brought this article up to him a while ago and while he’s pretty set on his routine he has changed it up a little if he really wants to enjoy a steak or something as the last bite.
Great article, thanks for sharing.
TL;DR
"…push refined carbohydrates to the end of the meal to help reduce post-meal blood glucose levels and keep you feeling fuller longer.
Consider these tips:
Start with high-fiber, low-calorie foods with high water content, such as soups, vegetables and fruits. They’ll fill you up and limit the sugar you take in on an empty stomach.
Choose soluble fibers, such as nuts or beans, to slow digestion and possibly lower your risk of heart disease.
Eat plant-based proteins, which increase your fiber intake and lead to greater satiety.
Save high-fat foods for after fiber and protein since they affect heart health and don’t help with satiety."
Do something new everyday.
I’m extremely consistent with my weightlifting program (1.5 years aww yeah!)
Starting to lift with the best decision I ever made and the best habit I’ve ever formed. Nagging aches and pains are basically a thing of the past. I’m way more useful, and my lower body, which was once withered and useless after a decade of working in an office, have been replaced with tree trunks and a dump-truck ass
A couple of the accessory benefits of this that in order to support my lifting progress I now eat way better, quit drinking and prioritize proper sleep. Overall it’s just been a huge increase in quality of life
Same, except I lift with my teenage son and daughter. We got a power rack in the garage and now they drag me out to it with them. We’re all feeling better about ourselves!
Heated seats ftw.
Doing my job consistently enough to pay my bills
I’ve been really good with taking my medication first thing these days. I also walk during my lunch hour, and use that time to listen to audio books. Sometimes I don’t wanna walk, but I still want to know what happens next, so I go for that walk.
I mostly get naked in private
I weigh 175lbs naked, but you really can’t trust those grocery store scales.
