Realistically, if you choose to think with your feelings while ignoring facts.

 If the results of that, end up hurting your feelings. 

 You deserve that, because you ignored the facts in the first place.

 I used to listen to this good bodybuilding podcast a long time ago and I remember one guy saying, "MOOD is everything." Before he got to that point he was going on and on about training, science stuff and diet. But it really is true. Because you can be depressed and disciplined, sometimes you HAVE to suffer. When you achieve results from that, you will achieve a better mood( Hopefully,  at least a little anyway). Usually this will motivate you to redo the same process, get more results, learn more, and once again result in a even better mood. (Obviously being in a good mood while being a dumb ass everyday is a bad idea, but I think you get the difference.)

My new favorite trick for easy to peel hard-boiled eggs.

 So my new roommate recently got me back into liking hard-boiled eggs. The reason I gave it up in the past is because I got tired of eggs that were hard to peel and it just felt like it was taking too much effort to be able to eat them. So this time I was like, " There's gotta be a video these days that has a solution to this bs." And sure enough, there was. I found this one done by a professional chef( Sorry, forgot his name and I can't find the video now). And this has to be the BEST way possible, I wish I knew this my whole life. So what you do is BEFORE you cook the eggs you smack them with a spoon to make a bit of cracks on one end of the eggs( preferably on the fat end). Don't worry, nothing will leak out when you cook them. If you ever noticed in the past when you boiled eggs, the ones that cracked during the cooking were usually the easiest to peel! So imagine all of your eggs being like that, it's awesome. And so far all the eggs I cooked like this are easy to peel, not a single difficult one. And you won't even need to put them in an " ice bath," they're pretty much ready to eat once they're done cooking( unless you want them cold). I cook mine for 12min now( start time is as soon as the water is boiling). If you already knew this trick you are lucky, but please pass it on.

( I took this pic of an egg after I cooked it. It cracked more during the cooking, so about half of the cracks you see were not there before). It was insanely easy to peel.

 

" Some people don't know how they feel." -OGT

I think these days a lot of people see a clear explanation for almost anything as an excuse. And explanations can sometimes be excuses, but bear with me lol. They don't understand that complicated things require a clear explanation to be understood( ex: cellular processes). Which is unfortunate, because a lot of times people WANT to know why certain things are the way they are( even fairly basic things), but they don't want to hear an easy to understand explanation of it even if it's backed by facts and proof. To them it's just an "excuse" or some BS. It's unfortunate, frustrating, and sometimes scary to witness.

My first time making pasta salad and this thing is a BEAST.

 

I didn't know Italian dressing added such a "magical" touch to cold pasta lol. And not much calories.

My first time at a Planet Fitness.

 So I went to try out a Planet Fitness today and damn that place sucks, unless you love smith machines. I mean I've seen the commercials and heard about how they are, but I didnt think they are really like that lol. There wasn't even a side lateral machine. Maybe to keep the members from getting their shoulders wide? Lol. But there was not even any foam rollers either. Honestly, it was one of the strangest gyms I've ever been in. And the atmosphere was extremely non motivational.

 

" Stupid people = stupid results" - H.G.

Lol. I just found out about this.

 

 

A lot of people need help with this these days.

 And they're wasting other people's time and energy as well. All the while making themselves look like idiots.

" Delusions of grandeur are better than a meaningless existence." - IB

Damn, watching stupid people actually figuring things out is crazy.

When people get too stressed they don't slow down to think. And tend to do and say things without really thinking, which usually leads to an increase in the mistakes they make. Therefore leading to more stress, which leads to even less clear thinking. When this cycle continues over long periods of time(months, years) people begin to believe that's how they should be thinking. And the quality of their lives sometimes begins to slowly spiral downwards in many ways. They know some things are getting worse for them, but they sadly don't realize it's because of the way they are thinking. They want to believe their logic is correct since they've been getting through life using their logic at that point.

 This is why it's important to not get too upset over things that barely matter or don't matter. Because you could be using that focus and energy on things that are actually important to you.

Please think before you talk. And that goes for everybody.

Sometimes people are pretenders and they are oblivious to the fact.

Realistically these days...

 You should expect dumb people to be dumb for a long time, sometimes a REALLY long time. And honestly that's my personal experience for myself when I was younger. At times I was just literally a dumb ass and knew it, but I couldn't really break the spell lol. And then later on I witnessed or was involved with people like this, sometimes my own family members. And it took sometimes 8yrs for some of them to realize even the most basic, but important things. I don't know what causes this, but sometimes it's just how long it's going to take.

 My best advice is to avoid people like this unless you NEED to talk to them.

I saw this on Instagram today. Maybe some of you knew this already, but I had no idea that a cat's purring could possibly help heal bones. I had a few broken bones before, but I didn't have a cat at those times lol.

And here is an article on it written by an Orthopedic Surgeon:

" You can't see your own ears." -K.R.

 So what this saying means is not just that you cannot see your own ears without a reflective surface. But sometimes we are not able to see what we are doing or how we are behaving.

Adults be forgettin the Cues these days. Don't forget the Cues!!!

 

 Ha kind of funny the guy in the picture who represents the lies is pretty jacked and still gets crushed. Maybe he was a guy who was on the sauce and then someone told him he wouldn't look like that if he had never juiced lol. He kept telling himself it wasn't true and then the truth eventually smashed him.

Looking back at my training in the past I didn't just give up on certain things at certain times, I didnt even try hard enough in the first place lol.

And when I say try, I don't just mean physically, but especially with researching and learning about how to train more effectively. I thought I knew everything at some points, but I didn't. I still don't. It's ok if this happens to you too, but you are going to have to start all over, again LOL! Not literally, but you get what I mean.

My drunken version of pho' at 4am

 Sriracha ramen noodles, 1 bell pepper, chopped chives, slight garlic, hanabero sauce, Tabasco sauce or any spicy sauce, plus 1 can of tuna. Throw it all into boiling water for 4min or more, whatever you like.

 But it's important to listen to what's true.
