11901. You are the buyer not the seller. You’re not here to sell yourself for
approval. You’re here to choose who you
want in your life. Be willing to be
disliked. Because being liked by
everyone means you’re being real with no one;
11902. And rejection? It doesn’t mean you’re broken. It doesn’t mean you’re unworthy. It doesn’t mean anything about you at all. It’s just proof that you finally stopped
auditioning for people who were never meant for you in the first place. And that?
That’s freedom;
11903. Medium Rare (MediumRareRestaurant.com)
has a prix fixe steak dinner for $31.95.
It includes (artisan rustic) bread, a mixed green salad( with Dijon
dressing), their (award-winning) culotte steak( with their secret sauce) and
hand-cut French fries (i.e., pain de campagne, la salade verte, steak culotte,
frites et sauce secréte);
11904. 3 questions to ask about
money before moving forward in a commitment to dating: 1. What was the conversation you had about money
growing up? What did your parents teach
you about money? 2. What’s your thoughts
around ownership? What’s your thoughts
around debt? 3. You have a $1,000,000.00
right now. What are you doing with
it? Bonus question: What do you value
most?
11905. Love is: 1. Liking someone’s personality; 2. Respecting his/her values; and 3. Commitment towards helping him/her get to
his/her goals;
11906. The (jumbo lump) crab
cakes at Faidley’s Seafood (FaidleysCrabCakes.com) (in Lexington Market) in
Baltimore, Maryland, are (really) tasty;
11907. The cream of crab soup at
Faidley’s Seafood (in Lexington Market) in Baltimore, Maryland, is tasty;
11908. Cream of crab soup tastes
like clam chowder, but with crab;
11909. If you’re looking for
(raw) raccoon, muskrat, alligator and/or frog legs, they sell it/them at
Faidley’s Seafood (in Lexington Market) in Baltimore, Maryland);
11910. Sweet potato cookies (specifically
from the Trevon Clark Experience) have a (soft,) cake-like texture;
11911. Walking around Lexington
Market in downtown Baltimore(, Maryland,) feels/seem like an episode of “The
Wire;”
11912. The fried chicken at
Super Fried Chicken (LexingtonMarket.com/Merchants/Super-Fried-Chicken) (in
Lexington Market) in Baltimore, Maryland, is (really) crispy and pretty tasty;
11913. Every time you tell
yourself, “I should have handled that differently,” you’re projecting today’s
awareness onto a version of you that didn’t have it. It’s not fair. And more importantly? It’s keeping you stuck. Because here’s the truth, regret is just
self-attack in disguise. And no amount
of self-punishment will change the past.
You think that if you had just made one different choice, everything
would be better. But how do you know
that? What if things were unfolding
exactly as they should? Think about it. That struggle, maybe it was shaping you into
who you needed to be. That failure, maybe
it was saving you from something worse. That
pain, maybe it was life feeding you broccoli.
Something that didn’t taste good at the time, but was exactly what you
needed. How many times have you looked
back at something that once devastated you and later realized that was actually
the best thing that could have happened?
11914. Life isn’t working
against you. It’s working for you. So stop punishing yourself. Let go of the guilt. Decide, right now, that you don’t have to
carry this anymore. You are free to move
forward. You are free to forgive
yourself. You are free;
11915. If you’re waiting for
fear to disappear before you act, you’ll be waiting forever. Fear doesn’t leave before you act, it leaves
because you act. But not just by forcing
yourself through it; by leaning in and then letting go. By experiencing the discomfort without trying
to fight it. By realizing that the thing
you were so afraid of; it was never actually holding you back. It was your resistance to it that was keeping
you stuck. So stop waiting. Stop trying to be “ready.” Start stepping in and letting go. Because the moment you do, you’re free;
11916. Apparently, you can make
pate with wildebeest and zebra;
11917. I can say I’ve had
wildebeest pate. . . . It’s okay;
11918. I can say I’ve had zebra
pate. . . . It tastes pretty similar to wildebeest pate;
11919. Brisket burgers are
pretty tasty( specifically the Big Bites Grind burger (with ground sirloin,
brisket & chuck) at District E (DistrictEDC.com) in Washington, D.C.);
11920. The 3 most powerful
questions you should ask when someone is overreactive, stressed out or
overwhelmed in an argument or conversation: 1.
Sounds like you have a reason for saying that? 2. Tell me more(. What else is going on? Is there anything else you want to say? Are you sure?); and 3. Are you okay?
11921. You want to avoid eating
sugar on an empty stomach;
11922. Avoid eating sugar in the
morning. Breakfast should be savory;
11923. If you really need the
sugary snack, put clothing (i.e., proteins, fats or fiber) on your carbs (i.e.,
bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, oats or sugars);
11924. Never eat your carbs
naked so that they don’t cause as big of a glucose spike. Because when you put clothing on those carbs,
digestion happens more slowly;
11925. You don’t need to fast in
order to be healthy. It’s much more
important to eat well in a way that keeps your glucose levels steady than to
restrict your eating window;
11926. 4 top blood sugar
balancing hacks: 1. Eat a savory
breakfast – Eating a traditional sweet-and-starchy breakfast on an empty
stomach triggers blood-sugar spikes and cravings. Instead, start each morning with a meal built
around protein and fat, like eggs, Greek yogurt or leftover chicken from last
night’s dinner – something that will keep you satisfied for 4 hours. Avoid carbs or anything sweet, other than
fruit, if desired; 2. Knock back an
apple cider vinegar shot – Consuming 1 tablespoon of vinegar daily is shown to
curb cravings and improve satiety by 144%.
Plus, the liquid’s acetic acid slows the rate that digestive enzymes in
the gut can break down starches into glucose, flattening a blood-sugar spike by
up to 30% and a fat-storing insulin spike by up to 20%. One study found that people consuming vinegar
lost 3,539% more subcutaneous body fat than those who skipped the sip. To get the benefits, simply choose “a vinegar
and a vehicle” to get it into your body 10 minutes before a meal. 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed
with 8 oz. of water, tea or seltzer. Or
you can mix vinegar into foods like pickles or kimchi. One caveat: Since the goal is balancing blood
sugar, avoid mixing your vinegar with a sugary drink like apple juice, which
could create an unintended spike. Tip:
Sip vinegar with a straw to protect your tooth enamel; 3. Enjoy a fiber appetizer – Before eating your
most carb-heavy meal each day, first consume a veggie “starter.” Research finds that lining the gut with plant-based
food lowers blood sugar, inflammation and helps curb weight gain. And soluble fiber helps balance blood
sugar. Eating veggies before a high-carb
meal is also proven to slow sugar absorption and reduce the magnitude of a
blood-sugar spike. It’s fine to keep
your pre-meal snack simple: Eating 10 olives, some cut-up carrots or steamed
green beans will do. One favorite:
“backward broccoli.” Just pour boiling
water over fresh broccoli in a heat-safe bowl, let sit for 2 minutes, drain and
enjoy; and 4. Move after one meal –
“Exercise makes your muscles more sensitive to insulin so they ‘soak’ up the
glucose and help maintain stable glucose levels,” explains Dr. Gottfried. A Cleveland Clinic study shows that
exercising after a meal slashes blood-sugar bumps by 45%. Strive for movement within 90 minutes of
eating. And since we lose muscle as we
grow older – a change that slows our ability to burn fat – older women should
opt for weight-bearing exercise. Try
seated calf raises with a heavy book on your knees, dancing while holding a
grandbaby or walking with a weighted bag or hand weights. Or consider wearing Agogie pants, with
strength-training resistance bands woven into the fabric;
11927. The chicken tenders at
“Uncle C’s Chicken & Waffles” (UncleCCW.com) in Alexandria, Virginia, are
very good . . . and the fried chicken is pretty good, but the waffles were
disappointing;
11928. The espresso martini at
Casa Luna (TheCasaLuna.com) in (Old Town) Alexandria is dangerous. It’s well-balanced, has a lot of
coffee/espresso flavor and you can barely taste the alcohol;
11929. Don’t be ashamed to need
help. Like a soldier storming a wall,
you have a mission to accomplish. And if
you’ve been wounded and you need a comrade to pull you up? So what?
11930. Spam musubi has a slightly sweet taste;
11931. If you’re fishing on a
boat, bring a jacket no matter what the (weather forecast says the) temperature
is supposed to be. It can be cold and
windy on the water especially before the sun comes up;
11932. To reduce the mess,
place/put fish under water when you scale them;
11933. Fileting fish is a lot
harder than it looks;
