How to cook beans

When I moved back to Houston last year, I continued my practice of cooking new things. I decided to try cooking beans instead of buying them from the can. I'd heard different ways to cook beans, but I wasn't sure which was right. I went to the Internet and found an article by Katherine Sacks on Epicurious entitled Epicurious's Myth-Busting Guide to Cooking Beans. I used that for cooking pintos twice last year. Hopefully the article will serve me well again.
...
I initially posted that I'd gotten interested in lima beans after learning that they have the most protein of all the vegetables. Then I learned that wasn't true! I was comparing the nutrition information on the lima beans with a package of pinto beans I had. Pinto beans have more protein. Then I looked at a package of lentils. They have even more protein than pinto beans. I then found a page showing the top ten beans ranked by protein, and it puts lima beans at the end of the list. Number one is soybeans. Interestingly enough, that page on the same website as the erroneous page.

Working out in the office

Last year I developed a nice little bodyweight routine. Then I got away from it. Partly that's because I wanted to get back into running. When I started working again and had to deal with time constraints, the strength routine went by the wayside. In an attempt to get things going again, I started doing pushups at work. I started with 10, then 20, then 30 at a time. Now my first set is usually 40, which I hadn't been able to do without stopping for years.

This week I wanted to incorporate some more exercises. I was inspired by an article I read that described the four basic movements: push, pull, squat, and hinge. Searching via Google brought up articles mentioning more basic movements. The squat is ubiquitous, and something that is easily done at work, so added it to my routine. But what else can I do?

I saw an article from Inc and another from Forbes. The four basic movements reminded me of Stronglifts, but I have to remind myself that it's okay to do exercises that don't work multiple muscle groups. So here's my office list so far:

Stair Climbing (But the three floors to my office aren't enough to count)
Pushups
Squats
Dips
Magic Carpet Ride
Calf Raises

Maybe don't be yourself

I've always thought that be yourself was terrible advice, but I came across an article about that very thing. From Leah Finnegan in The Outline. Maybe at some point I'll add some of my own reasons that differ from the ones in the article, but for now, I just wanted to capture it.
