Health Month rule

I joined healthmonth.com, a unique sort of health website that is focused on setting personal goals and sharing within your social network. So far, I'm impressed, especially since it emails me reminders to "check in" for completing my goals, every day.

One of my goals this week is to blog at least 2x a week, and thus here we are. I finished my first healthmonth today, and my spirit animal gave me $$$ in spirit dollars. More on that later.

Cool idea/Trick: Getting more protein

I love hard boiled eggs. I like eggs in almost any form, but hard boiled are the best IMO. Knowing this, I boiled up some this weekend and now I have a weeks worth of hard boiled eggs waiting for me when I come home from my workout. Cheap protein win!

How to boil the perfect hard boiled egg? Excellent question. My mom's technique, bring to boil and let them sit until cool, often yields green yolks, which have no effect on making me queezy, but can stink after a few days. The latest technique, which I found on a website that I cannot locate includes:
Put eggs in pan
Fill up pan with cold water (enough to cover)
Bring pan to boil
Boil for 10 minutes
Let sit for 10 minutes
Drain and let cool
Enjoy!

So far, the eggs have been just fine.
