This is crazy, or even kind of creepy. My I Ching for today was "Creative Power" and this is the image for it:

When I just tried to open www.livejournal.com a few moments ago, I got nothing but someone's icon with a really ugly female Sim and the text, "This is my happy face, bitch." I have no idea what that was about. When I hit refresh, LJ came up.
Happy news: I made it through 5 minutes on the stairmaster tonight. I thought I was going to die at one point, but I did it. Also, I figured out something to make tuna salad work. I was a fan of the kind with mayo (I know, I know, gross!) and I'm okay with a little vinaigrette, but tonight I used tzatziki sauce and it is perfect! I have that and a spinach, arugula and baby greens (plus some microgreens) salad and a little of the spinach & artichoke hummus and spelt flatbread I had yesterday for dinner. Yum! D Kitty's happy cause he got some tuna.
It is raining and 76 degrees in north Texas in mid-August. I haven't seen any pigs go flying by yet, but maybe the cooler temperatures are because Hell froze over???
Oh -- and I got some new pants today that are the exact same favorite pants I took to my sister's wedding in April, only they are 4 sizes smaller. And they fit! |

It is ridiculously hot.
Despite the heat, I got out twice on Saturday – once to work out and once to have an fairly disappointing cheat meal at a seafood restaurant, Rockfish. I couldn’t decide what I wanted, ended up with a fried shrimp basket and didn’t really like it. I can’t point to much that was actually wrong with it, other than the shrimp being on the small side, but it just didn’t work for me. I should have ordered the stuff flounder which was what I really wanted. Or the crab cakes, maybe. I have no complaints about the service. It was wonderful. So was the banana-chocolate smoothie thing I had at Starbucks afterwards. For dinner I had leftover spaghetti. It was okay. *shrug* This was not one of my better cheat days. Next weekend I may try Margarita Ranch.
On Sunday I decided it was too hot to walk to Central Market, and that I would blow it off and eat all (or at least some) of the food I have stockpiled and take care of at least part of my silly food hoarding problem. I did get a few things from Tom Thumb on Friday (milk, a couple of bags of salad), so I won’t be completely without fresh food. But I can already tell that by the end of the week I’m going to be sick to death of tuna.
Now for the big news. I did 8 regular push ups on Saturday (and also about 30 girlie push ups)!
I also tried on clothes a little bit and took my measurements, and I am a bit smaller than I was a month ago.
As for my Sunday TV shows...
