Net gain: +0.4 pounds.

Gah. But my fat % went down slightly. That should count for something, right?

Who am I kidding. It was the all you can eat sushi last weekend and the korean bbq on Monday night that did me in. I'll try harder.

Net loss: 0

This is kind of discouraging. I think the only way I'll see any loss is to go back to eating salads. Ugh.

Week 1

Net loss: 0

Big fat ZERO.

Considering how much I ate over the weekend, I should be happy with those results. Man, I hate the gym.

My gym is having a biggest loser competition. I missed signing up but I'm going to participate in the challenge nonetheless. The requirement is weekly weigh-ins and going to the gym at least twice a week. I've printed out a spreadsheet and I'm going to weigh myself weekly. This goes along well with giving up certain foods for Lent.

I won't advertise my weight on this blog, but I'll try to post a weekly +/- number. Hopefully it'll all be (-).

Anyone want to join me???

JUST survived a minor heart attack.

I'm in the SF office today and my coworker and I grabbed lunch from Specialty's and brought it back to the office. Towards the end of our lunch I started cleaning up when I noticed my sapphire was missing. The sapphire from my engagement ring.

I started freaking out.

Pretty soon the entire department was looking for it. In the kitchen. Near my cubicle. In the bathroom.

And the entire time I'm telling myself, 'breathe. breathe. breathe.'

I figured it was a lost cause, but my coworker and I went outside to try to retrace our steps. I was hoping it'd be right outside the door to our floor or the entrance where we badge in. No luck.

We went outside and started walking back towards Specialty's. I was starting to lose hope but my coworker was optimistic. And you know what? She found it.

SHE FOUND IT. She found that little blue stone in the middle of the plaza next to my building.

Thank you, Lord!!

The power is out at work. They sent us home.

My mother-in-law gave us some bear sausages a while back. You read that right. BEAR. We didn't even know that was legal.

Last weekend we finally decided to give it a try.

Very gamey. This is what we made with it.





It gave the kimchi jjigae an interesting taste. Not a favorite of mine.

Southern California has been getting quite a bit of rain lately. People have been reminding me that this is like Bay Area weather. And it was during a downpour that I came to the realization that whether I like it or not, I'm sloooooooowly growing accustomed to life here.

I've told myself repeatedly that I'm getting soft. In San Francisco, I'd have to walk to the bus stop in this same weather. It'd be a normal occurrence to show up at work dripping wet. Now? I find myself running from car to building. Getting just a little bit wet is annoying me.

I think I need to just go stand outside in the rain. Re-train myself...
