Snacky Thursday
Started snacking less, because I refuse to diet. Suddenly I'm at my lowest post pregnancy weight.
[stares longingly at the chips] ^^I ^^miss ^^you ^^bby
What are your fave healthy snacks?

Nuts and carrots. I really love them as a between-meals snack.
Had to cancel my weekend climbing plans again because my shoulder has a setback. I'm slowly losing my mind. Almost 2 months already and every (doctor approved) climbing test results in more pain. As I said a while ago, this injury shit is the straw that breaks my mental health camel's back...

As someone with a historically bummed shoulder, what has been recommended to you for strengthening exercises and stretches? I struggled with my bench press a lot due to an old rotator cuff injury, and a specialized program made it so I could lift
3
I actually do have a (supposedly) pretty good all-round routine now that has some shoulder focus but I found it too late (injury was already there). I guess it has to heal first and then I have to make sure my shoulders get strong and stay strong.
It's this climbing-focused routine: https://www.hoopersbeta.com/library/one-routine-once-a-week-climbing-training
I talked about it with my doctor and he said it's pretty good as a once a week excercise on top of normal climbing.
3
Looks good to me, too. Only thing it seems to be missing is a stretching routine. Sometimes (and this happened in my case) an injury will produce scar tissue on the muscle. Stretching, self massage and a topical cream helped me get back on track. Scar tissue is more rigid than regular and its inflexibility can lead to being injured more easily.
At least that's what my trainer said. It might be worth looking into incorporating into your current routine :) I'd ask for stretches specifically for your injury though.
5
I do have my own warmup/stretching routine I do beforehand + some extra excercises for afterwards. I'll check for specifics.

be carefull that nuts are heavy in fat and calories. Some nuts are ok, but many people just eat an entire sack of nuts in one go. That's 1000 kcal for a small sack.
3
This comment contained a surprising amount of nuts and sack, considering it doesn't also make a testicle joke XD
4
i wasn"t even aware of it.
I just have some friends that go to adietist and abuse her rules.
One times pizza a month is no problem becomes One time pizza, one time kebab, one time fries, one time pancakes a month.
Same for nuts, "but they are healthy" and my sport coach also eats them.
True, but not 200g in one go.
2
Very true! They're yummy but also calorie dense. Pistachios and cashews are a kind of kryptonite for me
0
Hmmmm, I find for myself personally, there is no need to restrict nuts or cheese or fatty foods. I cut out sugar,meaning anything with more than 10g sugar per 100g, I don't eat. Dropped like 10kg,and maintaining for like quite a few month now.
Now,maybe that's just me, but I find I can't eat that many nuts, they are rather filling.

Aight as much as ppl like it shit on Bpost I have to admit it’s my fav carrier. DPD then again. I absolutely hate them with every fibre of of body. 😡
Orders fairly expensive package, package due to arrive with DPD. Oh_fuck.gif Monitor its location closely, no option to change delivery place to a pick-up point yet since I’m at work and can’t be home when they come by. Suddenly get email from DPD saying the package had been dispatched and is on its way to me. Oh no. I hurry and change the delivery address to a local news paper store. It says it’ll be delivered the next day. Sucks, but I expected as much (or as little) from them. Time goes by, I check again and it says the package is ready to be picked up at the point. “Damn, maybe they don’t suck as much after all” I think to myself. chuck_testa.png I check and they haven’t received it yet. At this point my package is in oblivion and I can only pray it’ll arrive at its destination anyway.
Fast forward to today
I check a third party site and it tells me it’s back at the depot and was signed off by some guy I don’t know. I check LinkedIn to see who that guy is and it turns out to be the dude I spoke to at the news paper store the day prior. I get to work, check the desktop version of the tracking site and it says the package is ready for pick up at Ixelles. The store I specified is in St-Gilles.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
/rant
Also I am eating a banana
7
I had the same issue with DPD after trying to set up a new delivery time. Things just went haywire. DPD is by far the worst courier, my packages always arrive like they've been used as a football.
5
I’ve actually stopped using some great webshops for the sole reason they use DPD. They’re just so incompetent in every sense of the way.

My sincerest condolences 😔

but how are those tendies though
4
With the price in post it seems I broke even 😂
Ain’t gonna be selling tho. My hands are still and remain diamond 😎😎💎🙌

I don't understand what happened though? is this what was supposed to happen on Monday or something.

This seems to be a good explanation. Curious to see what the premarket figures are gonne be.
3
I was thinking of buying at the start of the week but then the huge general market dip came and got scared lol. Now I'm too chicken to buy in after the explosive gain, I'll have to wait and see. I don't want to be like the folks who bought in at 400 lol
2
I might buy if premarket looks good, then sell the moment I have enough profit
2
Quite a few of the complaints I had with Bpost have disappeared once I asked to deliver all my packages in a nearby Cubee. No more notes in my mailbox that I wasn't home, no more trying to stuff things in the mailbox that barely, or don't, fit and the delivery times seem faster as well.
That said: I still think that they have the highest instance of damaged goods and "cannot find the package" of all delivery services and filing complaints are next to impossible.
2
For me it's probably Bpost -> PostNL -> every other carrier -> DPD
Ordered several packages a few weeks ago, all of them delivered at almost exactly 9am every day that week by Bpost, by a friendly postman.
PostNL just gives wild estimations and delivery times, had a few times they delivered it at my neighbour because I wasn't "home".
DPD is just lousy, tracking barely works and the amount of dents in the boxes are astounding. Haven't had any damaged product inside yet, thank goodness.
2
Hot edamame beans with a little salt/pepper.
Grapes. Grapes. Grapes.
Radishes with some salt/vinegar (nice crunch).
Carrot sticks and hummus.
Popcooooorn (without the caramel/sugar... sigh).
6
Popcorn made with a popcorn machine from mais kernels, it's low kcal and still gives that sated feeling.
I forgot to take my pills yesterday because I got completely sucked into a conversation with someone, I even ignored the notification I have set up for it. Darn it 😅
5
Aw yiss. Don't have a popcorn machine, but a little bit of corn oil in a pot on the stove does the trick too. Nomnomnom
3
Oh ye so did I it seems lmao. Happens all the time to me.
2
I'm usually pretty good at it because I prioritize my pills over anything and drop whatever I'm doing if I get my reminder. Let's just say I was in a conversation with someone I am hiiiighly attracted to 😅. He and his primary partner (poly) are also coming over for the weekend so I was a tad distracted
4
I was uhhhhh, watching YouTube >.>
4
So many online shops don't know what to do with a long bus number in a home address. Plus a lot of the API's between the shops and delivery companies mangle it as well.
So I have to be careful of online stores + carrier combination if I want to order anything from them. Sometimes you don't know until after you've ordered.
5
Jalapeños. Fists full of jalapeños. Or anything spicy, really. And olives. I eat loads of olives. Last week I made salted kale-chips: those were pretty good as well.
5
You eat raw jalapenos?
3
Yup. Like popcorn.
1
Your bathroom trips must be eventful lol
1
Fav healthy snacks? Fruits, nuts, protein bars can be good but the maltilol ones wreck havoc on my guts lol.
4
I'm making oven roasted chickpeas for my daughter this week, which should also be a better choice for me.
I do worry about the farts tho.

I do worry about the farts tho.
Lies make Jesus cry
5
You're starting to know me too well, lol
4
Well if it's about farts, yeah lmao
I had pizza delivered last night after class (from your local place cuz it was open). To get to the free delivery I had to order the biggest, greasiest pile of trash I ever bought. It was legit heavy when I got it handed to me. It gave me so much gas this night. My stomach is still turning. But it was amazing. And I still have half left.

Carrots. I'll eat em by the pound. Just annoying when you're on discord lol.
To start the work day: an essential application has suddenly vanished from everyone's pc and nobody knows why. I need it constantly so I'm stuck rn. At least from home I don't have to act busy while I can't do any work...
4
Just annoying when you're on discord lol.
Eat them in calls with that one colleague to establish dominance
8
Bleekselderij also works really well during meetings
4
Hah I should, when the other coworker starts chewing and slurping again.
3
It takes me 20 minutes to eat 1 raw carrot, are you guys chewing?
3
Never skip jaw day

Reddit is 80% ducks.

Today I'm going to try to snatch up a gpu yet again. Wish me luck!
4
do you really need one right now? its the worst time to buy them in years
like i could sell(probably) my year old gpu for double the new price on the used market bad
6
I know, I've chosen the worst possible time to build a new pc. Unfortunately I've already bought most of the components and I just need the gpu itself. If I can snatch one up from the AMD site itself, the prices are reasonable. But it's difficult and I've already missed two opportunities because of problems with my browser, so today I'm using a different one (and I ran a small test order without confirming to check).
3
Been hearing that for 3-4 years now, did prices ever go back down?
2
https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/764473/xfx-radeon-rx-580-gts-xxx-edition-8gb.html
check this, though it is is a very extreme example
and i see people asking double for what i payed on my graphics cards(even in used market) though i'm not sure if people are paying those prices too
2
Damn, I'm glad my build from 2015 is still holding on then. Not that I really invest in high-end graphics card, I was just curious.
1
I've discovered over clocking my gtx970 and it's like a new card
2
I made a semi-healthy red fruit 'tiramisu' the other day. It had a base made of dates, oats, ground almonds, espresso and amaretto (optional). Compote of red fruit as the next layer, then marscopone (admittedly not very healthy) and then fresh raspberries to decorate.

Mini curryworsten, amper 223 kcal per 100 gram.
Gezond genoeg voor mij in vergelijking met chips of nootjes.

Yooooooooooo xD how ya doin, ya gorgeous hearted reddies of le belgique? XD hope y'all managing :). It is a pretty rough period for many if us. Remember to drink water, maybe take out the lighter covers for ur bed, maybe put a bottle of water near the bed. Sun is going to be up, try and get some of that vitamins D if you can :). Maybe sunscreen if uz from a more ginger persuasion... Man, we were at this terrace drinking bubbles. Man, I woke up from the headache I had. This has maybe happened one time or two in my life... I haven't been drinking so long I forgot that it's not great on an empty stomach, while already dehydrated, at the sun xD
Oh,and mosquitoes are prolly in they way xD haha ❤️
Aight. Be gooooddddd xD ❤️
Ah, righto, healthy snacks? Dat yoghurt with all kinds of stuff on top like, cereals and granola and then honeyyyyy uwhaaaaaa so naiisss xD.
4
I am not ginger but still turned into a lobster yesterday. Wear sunscreen people, even in February!
2
Lol xD sorry man xD
1
Snacks? Or Snack-ccident? xD
Idk, anything really. I never used to eat those Crack-a-Nut paprika peanut thingies before and now they're a mild addiction.
I just drink a lot of Tetley tea. That's my snack.
3
i need to lose some weight too, though i'm not sure why it has risen again, don't think i eat more snacks
anyway, i don't really eat healthy snacks besides the ocasional fruit, i prefer pretty much all veggies to be cooked
3
Did your habbits of moving changed since the lockdowns?
3
well the biggest difference i don't bike to my friends anymore to play boardgames, drink beer and eat greasy food but i believe that did the opposite
2
i doubt the biking is responsible for most of it. With working from home i do three times as less steps each day. So i made the habit to go walk, especially with the good weather of this week.
3
Raw tomatoes, raw Bell peppers (an acquired taste I have to admit) and frozen raspberries(not the same as fresh ones, but way cheaper).
3
Upvoted for raw paprika's.
6
IKR, so good!
4
Thed red ones are the healthiest. Fuck Green ones.
6
I don't give a shit, any colour of raw paprika is awesome
4
Yessssss
3
Nah greens are great. Yellow needs to fuck off though.
1
raw bell peppers are bad

I got dragged into the VR rabbit hole. No snacking if you forget to eat 🤷 Lost a good amount of kg's tho and my physical condition hasn't been better since the start of the lockdown last year. It's almost the anniversary </3
3
Awesome. What headset did you go for?
I've got the CV1 at the moment and it's starting to show its age. Been thinking of upgrading but I think I'll wait for a little bit to see if any new advances happen in the next year or so.
3
I got a quest 2 because I didn't have a good enough pc to run VR. After getting bored of the free games available I tried some titles from steamVR on my under performing laptop...
One week later bought a decent rig :p
Only problem for me was the battery life, which I fixed with a battery pack and a couple of velcro straps. Playing completely wireless over 5Ghz
2
I'm really torn on getting the quest 2. I feel like it's a decent improvement on what I've got but not necessarily worth the money given that my current headset still works decently well. Plus I'm not a fan of having to connect an FB account. Battery life is also a bit of a concern and to be honest I really don't mind playing with a wire attached.
I really want the valve index but it's pretty much 3 times the price which is a hefty price. I think I'm just going to wait a bit longer and see where things are in a couple of years. I'll probably switch away from oculus once my headset stops getting proper support. Still can't believe the rift S is already discontinued.
2
Yeah, I'm not that keen on the whole FB either.. I'm waiting until there is some news regarding the DecaGear 🤞
1
Call me stupid: but i only realised today that Playstation plus had a bundle of 20 top games from the PS4.
I downloaded Monster Hunter first. I'm sold by the idea of slaying huge creatures. Just wasnt hooked yet because i took wrong weapons with me.
The biggest swords apparantly isn't a great idea to kill agile creatures.

Nuts

That's nuts man

Anyone use an adblock app (Android)? I use Blockada and it worked fine until the latest OS update. Now it just fucks with DNS and blocks all internet access if I leave the app running. Anyone know how to fix it in the app or a different one to use?
2
I'm also using Blokada, however I went back to 4 after experiencing issues with 5 after it upgraded to that.
Not sure if you're on 5 but perhaps downgrading to 4 might help? Both installers are available on their website.
2
I think it updated to 5 yeah. I'll check it out thanks!
1
I use Brave browser
1
It's not just for browser, I also want to block ads in aps. I hate it when a mobile game I'm playing is constantly interrupted with ads.

Favorite "Healthy" Snacks :
what is this?
This is the "basic" recipe I use to make it, but you can adjust the seasoning the way you want it.
that does look and sound good
yup that's an all time favourite
I prefer caramel sea salt! Just make popcorn and right before they start to pop toss in a good scoop of sugar. Keep shaking your pan an keep an eye on it because the chance of burning it is high. Add salt and eat the whole bowl by yourself, proceed to cry about how tasty it is and how many calories you just inhaled.
I'm gonna give this caramal sea salt a go! It sounds amazing even the crying
Yes caramel popcorn is amazing, but can be tricky to pull off because the sugar burns easily. A friend makes it seperately and just pours the caramel over the popcorn. But popcorn corn is cheap as hell so I always just risk it.
P.S. be careful with molten sugar, that stuff is hot as lava
Do you use any specific ratio's or do you just go with the flow while making this?
What would "non-homemade" popcorn be? Microwave popcorn?
You can buy bags of pre made popcorn, don't get me wrong there are some great brands out there but I prefer to puff the kernels myself.
ahh now that you say it I do remember seeing those.. and thinking to myself that they're kind of silly
They're pretty good xD
