OT 20: rotisserie roller coaster

[SAWCE]

Just restocked my stash. 300mg in gummies; 200mg indica, 100mg hybrid. And then an 8th of some indica flower.

Good choices for sleeping.

Yeah, I’m not a sativa fan at all. Even my hybrids I make sure they lean more indica.

Is it just me or did they jack the price way up on ANIMAL brotein recently? I just went to order and it's ~50% more than I paid last time. $150 for 10 lbs instead of 100ish and $71 for 4 lbs now vs 50ish.

They did supply chain constraints are hitting the whole market. You may find some of the older pricing on Amazon for stock they’ve been carrying for a bit. I just did that myself when the prices jumped a few weeks ago.

Yeah I grabbed one tub from Amazon, maybe I should buy more...

Thanks for the reminder. If they still have the 10lb ones for a good price I’m going to grab another one or two and hope normal prices come back down by the time I’ve gone through them.

I made a pretty tasty high-protein, low-fat ice cream last night to have at the end of my cheat meal. I’ll post up directions and calories/macros in a bit for anyone interested in trying it out.

[SAWCE]

1 cup (255g) non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 scoop (34g) Animal Whey chocolate
4tbsp (32g) PB Fit
1/4 cup (60g) oatmilk

Mix it all together, pop it in the freezer. Pull it out every 15-20 minutes to stir it up. Eat it when it’s a consistency you’re happy with.. I let mine freeze for about an hour total.

~445 calories
~30g carbs
~7g fat
~68g protein



The sour Greek yogurt flavor was still there a bit, so I’ll play around with less of that and more oat milk. I may also try an artificial sweetener like Stevia to cut that a bit without adding as many calories as sugar would.

You can cut 70cals by using only 2tbsp of the PBFit stuff.

We only have so much storage or I would probably try to pick some up. I think I still have 5+ pounds of chocolate and vanilla left, although is using it some now, so it will go slightly faster. She bought this Ninja blender which is actually pretty dope, we've been doing a lot of shakes.

A good blender makes a huge difference. I’ve been enjoying even just throwing a little ice in with my water and whey after my workout for something nice and cold this summer. Breakfast is a shake every morning too. Whey, frozen blueberries, mixed greens, and some baby rice cereal for the carbs.

I guess it depends on the individual, I normally stay up way too late while high over analyzing things in my head once I’m out I do sleep well on it though.

See, it depends on the person. My brain never shuts off analyzing anything and everything, pot is an escape from that. It feels so nice to have a break.

I'm hoping that increased exercise (which I want to do more now that I'm not using cannabis) will help with the brain shit. Also going to start journaling I think. Maybe a blog so people can at my thoughts. Maybe just a thread here.

My mind is always racing, the cannabis just makes it worse. For me if I struggle with sleeping the best thing to do is reading a fairly boring book.

Yep, it's 5/7 to mix it up from just the basic water+whey to more interesting recipes.

Water + whey
Whole milk + whey

If it's really cold it's OK.

If I don't have time/availability for the blender, I normally do a large shaker with 6-8 ounces soy milk, two scoops ANIMBRO when, the rest water/ice. It's pretty good. The ANIMBRO is more flavorful than some.

Yeah some brands I hated in water. Animal was one of the first that I could do water with every flavor. Most brands I hate their vanilla flavor too, but animal’s is solid. I almost always have a 10lb bag of vanilla from them on hand.

With just water or milk, I definitely prefer chocolate but the vanilla is great to have on hand for mixing with fruit and whatnot. I also like it in my yogurt with granola and/or fruit.

I just mix the stuff with tap water and it's fine. Health food isn't supposed to be good, just like exercise isn't supposed to be fun.

The ANIMAL whey has soooo much fake sugar in it that every flavor just tastes super sweet to me anyway, to the point where I can hardly tell a difference between the flavors or whatever I'm mixing it into.

my shakes are really good. There's no reason healthy can't be good.

I only like unhealthy foods/drinks. Even in the one year when I ate healthy and lost 40 lbs I never gained a taste for it. Give me salty carb-loaded stuff and I'm happy, as long as it's not too sweet.

I love it all pretty much. I love salads, stir fries/curries that are mostly all veggies, grilled veggies/lean meats, raw fruit/veggies, etc. but also love sweets, fried foods, .

It's all about the balance.

I just can’t see how this makes you a failure at all. You successfully planned your life to make things work. You got out of a toxic environment that was bad for you and your family. You’re a smart dude and you’ll land somewhere better.

Sorry you’re feeling bummed out, but Irish is right, you’re a good husband, friend, dude and more than whatever cog you were at Stellancuck. I hope you can enjoy focusing on other outlets like boat porn, Pinshit, cycling, or whatever makes you happy. The career thing will work out.

@Irish same thing for you. Sorry about the biz but you’re an awesome dude and dad, shit will work out. Silver lining is we’re glad you’re back here on DFD.

for sure.

ALSO,

Dear DetroitPlac,

You are so far from a failure I can't even. I don't think I ever told you guys this story, and I'll just tell the basics here, but WAAAY back in the late 80's I was in a toxic, old-school industry job. You think automotive is an old dinosaur of an industry, try railroading. It's almost 100 years OLDER of an industry than automotive! And the corporate mind set reflected that. I was young, smart, non-conventional in my thinking, and felt underappreciated and not respected. I was a market manager, responsible for the movement of specific commodities within our 9,000 mile track system. I handled over 25.000 carloads and $9 million in annual business, and I was vastly underpaid compared to my peers, because I was only in my 20's. When I mentioned this in a review, they responded by raising my grade level, but not my pay, so I was now being paid way under the minimum for my grade level. Anyway, for reasons not important here, the company wanted to reduce payroll so they offered buyouts with the hope of putting older, higher paid employees out to pasture to replace them with younger, cheaper ones, ie, people like ME. To everyone's surprise, I put in for the buyout, which was 6n month's salary in a lump sum. I wasn't making much then, about $32k, but I leapt at it. It took them a few days to ok it but they finally did and I NEVER looked back. And unlike you I didn't have any job prospects lined up. In fact, I quit at the very beginning of what would turn out to be a recession. I spent the next several months remodeling our attic and looking at job ads in the local newspapers, which was about the only way to find a job back then, besides networking, which I also did. I got a couple of offers in the same industry but turned them down because I wanted to escape. Eventually, I landed a job with the company I'm still with to this day.

The point I'm trying (poorly) to make is, you shouldn't have any ragerts or second thoughts or think any less of yourself for the decision you grabbed by the and made for all the right reasons. I knew at the time that I made the right decision and I was in a much lesser position than you are now. Like yours, it was not the decision of a failure. You did the right thing and are a winner for doing so.

One bit of advice I'd give, that helped me mentally, is stay busy. I made it a point to go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning to start work on the attic. It kept my mind in the game, so to speak. I know you have plenty of lined up so you should be good there.

TL;DNR I kinda did what you did a few hundred years ago, for similar reasons, and it worked out great for me, and you're no more a failure now than I was then.

FWIW

My woman went into the office today also. We have a mandatory mask mandate looming. Her company refused the "suggested" mandate... And people in her office were saying that once masks are back they are back out.

Aldi sells a 5/7 vanilla non-fat Greek yogurt in the bigger tub size. Would that be a good substitute for plain?
