#like medium Tostitos salsa to them is painful

[prozach27]

.

#reading a post about spicy food and I can’t help but chuckle over the fact that my family is full of SUCH WIMPS when it comes to spicy food #like medium Tostitos salsa to them is painful #but my uncles are such stereotypical macho guys who refuse to accept they’re wimps about spicy food #I’m not top tier with spicy food myself but like. I enjoy hot salsa a lot. I generally get the hottest salsa at restaurants #my favorite drink was ghost pepper infused tequila at this bar I worked at and I would always make friends do shots of it with me #your mouth would be on fire for 15 minutes but that’s part of the fun #and I started making a joke about my spicy preferences at family reunions where I’d joke that salt is too spicy for me #and my fam takes it SO SERIOUSLY #like my uncles literally make fun of me for it. not in a jokey way but in a very clearly judgmental way #and it’s so funny to me cause like. I eat ghost pepper salsa. they can’t do medium Tostitos. but they can’t help but flex that theyre macho #idk delete later but a post about spicy food brought this up and it made me laugh #I can expect more derogatory comments about my spicy food preferences at my next family get together #maybe I can use this to trick them in to eating something extremely hot with me lmao

Wellness Wednesday:

Plotting - Planning

Plotting/Planning on what?

I am plotting, planning, prepping for a Family Road Trip, a Bro Trip - In General PTO/Vacation, a Short Term Meal/Diet Challenge, Next Year's Challenge (52 in 24), Possible Birthday Party for Myself, and What my First Real Cheat Meal is going to look like January 1st, 2024...

That's what's rolling through my head - helps me pass the time.

Beyond that - I don't feel like much is going on - Feel like I am in a limbo. I definitely feel better than I did last week - teetering back to neutral - hopefully moving towards the "positive".

Found a new respect/passion for reading comics... I've enjoyed them in the past but found some nice trades recently that have increased the flame.

Movie-wise - I am fizzling out. Nothing looking good - sitting good lately. Hopefully Barbie can rekindle my love.

In other news I've been taking naps during my work lunch. They have been greatly needed and cherished but haven't cured my sleep pains.

Had another plateau in weightloss - no sweat - been feeling good about my body lately.

Basically... been just a chill week.

Closing Thoughts:

The Good:

I thought I've been looking really good in the mirror lately. Good hair - clothes fitting well.

The Bad:

Neck still sore/stiff.

Caught up on some sleep - but - still craving it.

The Ugly:

Nothing too bad to be considered ugly... if anything I've been living in a state of stale boredom/limbo... but still pretty chill.
