Eggs and the gym
09.06.07 (10:16 am)   [edit]

The eggs in my fridge expired two days ago. How much time do I have left to eat those eggs and not worry about getting sick?? I am tired of buying eggs and thinking I have a month to eat them. In reality, I hardly eat eggs, and I use them for baking. If Mr. Nick stays over on the weekend, I might make eggs. However, we've been too busy to be eating breakfast at my home!

And my gym...there is this one exercise I do where I twist and throw a medicine ball against a wall. The only place where I can really throw anything against the wall at my gym is against this concrete wall in the back. A few weeks ago, the girl working at the gym told me I couldn't work out there because it was by the fire exit. Fair enough. I asked her what other wall I could use, so she told me to use the one by the group exercise floor. I knocked on it, and it was hollow. (These medicine balls aren't like the old school leather ones...they're like heavy basketballs.)

I decided that wall wouldn't be a good one. I need one that is an actual support structure. I decided I wanted to do this exercise again today since there was a group exercise class going on. I figured no one would catch me. But the girl working there just happened to walk by and told me that I couldn't work out there because I would be blocking the fire exit.

HOWEVER...they always have stuff back there...Boxes of toilet paper, tool box, ladder, laundry detergent, vaccuum. They've actually cleared out some of the stuff. There was almost no wall space at all the last time I was exercising there. So it kind of pissed me off that she was telling me I couldn't work out by the fire exit when they use that space as storage!!

So I asked her again where I could do that exercise. I told her I needed a wall for throwing a ball against. She said she didn't know. So I asked her if I could take the ball outside, and she didn't really want me to take it there. I told her I'd be quick and I went outside. But she really wasted my time. The least she could do was offer me an alternate plan if she wasn't going to let me use the wall I was already using.

And I do plan on doing that exercise again, but not when she is working.

its not necessary to eat eggs if u go GYM..U can have SOYABEAN stuff n other veg stuff which are more better than Non-veg foods...

Like I said, I hardly eat eggs...But I have them in my fridge, and I don't want them to go to waste!
And I eat lots of tofu and drink only soy milk. Thanks for the advice.

Buy fresh eggs, and save the old ones for Mr. Nick, then you won't have to worry about getting sick. heh

Oooh, thanks for the tip! I don't know when I'd be cooking them, though...I have breakfast plans set out all week already! Maybe I will just boil them all. Or have eggs for dinner...There's no time to bake this weekend either!

I did a Google for "eating expired eggs" and some site said it was okay to eat them up to 3 - 5 weeks after their expiry date! I wouldn't take *those* kind of chances!

It all depends on how old the eggs were in the store. I think eggs can last well past the expiry date if kept in the fridge! I know I've eaten month old eggs (past the date on the carton) and I still live to talk about it!

Just make sure they don't have tiny cracks in them. Little cracks will make them expire real fast!

Fresh eggs, in their shell, can last in the fridge for 4 to 5 weeks after purchase.

Oh ya, about your gym fiasco. I'd be pissed off too. I mean, you pay a membership fee to be there, the least she can do is find an alternative for you that works. Sometimes the people working at the gyms take their jobs way too seriously! (Blocking a fire exit? Who is she kidding??? How long do you do this excercise with the medicine ball? An hour?)

Good thing I have a keen sense of smell! I'll be sure to inspect the eggs before eating them.

BWAHAHAA I think a set of my med ball twist exercise takes less time to complete than a set of crunches! It only takes a couple of minutes!

From my experience, the "advisors" at such facilities are mainly interested in sales and commissions, not helping you with your fitness. So, she said to use a hollow wall? Do it! When it becomes obvious you are about to do serious damage, they will probably be more obliging to your needs.
