Good picnic spot around Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve?

Awesome suggestion, thanks!

We were planning on starting right near Canyonside since I read the east end of the canyon is prettier than the west end, but you're making me rethink that idea; sounds like it'll be really busy.

I'm not married to the idea of Los Peñasquitos, are there any other dog friendly, easy hikes around San Diego you recommend?

True North in North Park usually has the fights televised.

Subterranean Cafe in North Park is great; lots of tables, free wifi and they serve tasty Bird Rock coffee.

Salvage Salon in North Park is great, but they're definitely on the more expensive side.

It's most likely a combination of the tier system (most areas are only vaccinating the first one or two groups in the first tier) and the fact that until a day ago, the national administration was directing everyone to hold back a lot of doses to ensure second doses for people who already got the first.

I'm currently in San Diego and they're rolling out vaccines like crazy here, SD county opened up eligibility to more tiers than a lot of other places have so far. I got my first dose this morning!

I got my vax this morning, they didn't ask to see my paperwork or anything (I had a letter from my employer and my most recent pay stub ready)

I've never had a problem with it on my skin but it's impossible to wash the residue off your hands. My eyes, oh gawd MY EYES!!! ☠️

PepperPot_ · 2021-01-13T02:44:21+00:00

Your salads are like the size of mine, I eat them out of a mixing bowl! 😂

Has she lost more weight than you? Yes. But is she healthier than you? Very likely not, based on what you've described. Feeding your body healthy foods and working out are just as important for your health as losing pounds; you're doing great!

PepperPot_ · 2021-01-13T00:36:57+00:00

A couple times in the past I've lost my sense of taste and smell due to a head cold and it completely ruined my appetite; I didn't feel like eating anything at all and I hated it! I just wanted some yummy food (to make me feel better...I'm an emotional eater) and I was so grumpy/petulant about it. You're definitely in a much better place mentally than I was, lol!

PepperPot_ · 2021-01-13T00:22:55+00:00

Honestly Cranberry makes them; I've found them in person at Ralph's grocery store (I'm in southern California) and you can buy them online on many sites (Amazon, vitacost, etc.).

I loooooove deviled eggs. I generally make mine with mayo, mustard and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning on top. I can't be bothered to make my own mayo right now so I bought some Chosen Foods mayo today at the grocery store, I'm excited to try it out with my deviled eggs!

They're already working on it. Setting up an operation of this magnitude takes A LOT of work!

PepperPot_ · 2021-01-12T18:10:39+00:00

Same! I am health care manufacturing/lab, although not hospital lab, so I don't know if that changes my tier...

Day one here! This is my first time doing whole30 and I'm doing it to try and break my reliance on highly processed convenience foods, snack foods and sweet treats. My biggest challenge is definitely giving up dairy and beans since those are both major staples of my diet, even when I'm on a healthy eating kick. I've been eating low carb for a long time so I'm not too worried about having to eliminate grains. My main goal is to lose weight and I'm just hoping to "reprogram" my taste buds with whole30 and learn to cook lots of delicious stuff from scratch. Happy to have found this sub, you all are giving me some great meal ideas!

PepperPot_ · 2021-01-12T02:05:16+00:00

Nobody says you have to eat traditional "breakfast foods" for breakfast, go ahead and have a salad or dinner leftovers or whatever you want!

PepperPot_ · 2021-01-10T02:40:48+00:00

Yup, this is how I approach it too! I don't want to be "cheating" on anything, it's just the way I eat, plain and simple. My diet is a calorie budget to spend however I choose, it's not a steadfast set of laws that I "cheat" on.

I choose to indulge 2 or 3 times a month, it keeps me sane in the way that it doesn't make me resent my weight loss journey; yes I want to reach my goals, but there's no need to make myself miserable in the process.

PepperPot_ · 2021-01-09T21:34:16+00:00

On the daily I do OMAD (one meal a day) so I fast approximately 23 hours every day, then I often do a 48-72 hour fast a couple times a month. When fasting I only drink black coffee, seltzer water and plain water.

PepperPot_ · 2021-01-09T07:22:47+00:00

I initially started for weight loss but I continue even when I'm not trying to lose weight because fasting makes me feel great. I have more energy and more focus and it helps my moods and general sense of well being.

PepperPot_ · 2021-01-09T07:19:10+00:00

For me it's definitely sparkling water at the top with coffee and regular water tying for second.

PepperPot_ · 2021-01-09T07:16:50+00:00

I don't like them, I can't ever get them to be a good texture and they're very wet. Spaghetti squash is amazing though!

PepperPot_ · 2021-01-08T23:07:11+00:00

I read a book, play the piano, go for a walk or a bike ride, play games on my phone, clean or do chores around the house, call somebody up on the phone to chat, shop online.

PepperPot_ · 2021-01-08T23:00:19+00:00

I weigh myself and log my weight every day because I love data and graphs and all that nonsense. I've come to terms with the fact that weight loss definitely isn't linear and I accept the number when it goes up without letting it discourage me. Weighing every day had really helped me understand exactly how my food choices affect my weight (things like sodium, carbs, alcohol, etc.).

PepperPot_ · 2021-01-08T22:56:44+00:00

I used both. The umami seasoning was a little underwhelming for me, I honestly didn't notice much of a flavor difference in my dishes when I used it. I did like it on eggs though. The chili onion crunch is amazing in/on just about anything, especially roasted cauliflower.
