The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Notes -
As a fellow legume pasta eater, there's chickpea pastas out there too, lentil pastas, green pea, etc, if you want variety in your legumes. I've never heard of ZENB funny enough but will check it out.
Oh and lentils cook in about 20 minutes if you boil them, quicker than beans. Basically just fill a pan with 2 cups water to 1 cup lentils, then bring the water to boil and dump in the lentils and cook for 20-30 minutes, can add dried spices to taste. That's how we do it in our house, it's simple but doesn't taste bad and you can add stuff like basil or bay leaves or curry etc.
