| yesterday was an absolutely lovely day. I woke up at 109.2(of course, the loss was due to dehydration--but I was happy).
went to therapy, where I set some goals for this week:
*call a GP
*call a nutritionist
*call a psychiatrist
then, Jamie and I went to RA Sushi for lunch. I'd been craving uni for ages, and I just had to have it. we also enjoyed some fabulous gyoza soup, and I had a 1/2-off glass of wine.
after lunch, we headed to the Arizona Humane Society(free cats this weekend). we didn't adopt any, but I was so glad to see that so many had turned out to adopt cats and kittens, because the AHS has been overflowing with them and was going to start euthanizing.
then we hit Sur la Table, where I bought some culinary lavender, and then Whole Foods, to buy some fabulous chocolate truffles:
*bluberry caramel
*wild strawberry truffle
*dark chocolate ganache
*sea salt truffle
*peppermint crème
*pineapple 'sin'
and, then we spent a lovely evening at home(I didn't go to the gym, but we definitely worked out, per sè  )
anyway. today, I woke up at 111.4, but I'm not dismayed. Jamie did the dishes, and then surprised me while I was at the gym by taking care of the litter and the trash, as well :D
right now? watching the Law&Order:SVU marathon, and enjoying a peach kamikaze, while waiting for my lavender sorbet to set.
(adapted)Recipe:
1 cup Splenda
2 cups water
2 tbsp. lavender flowers
2 1/2 tbsp. freshly-squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons vodka In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine Splenda and water until the Splenda dissolves. Add the lavender flowers; stir until mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand approximately 10 minutes. Place a fine strainer over a large bowl and pour syrup mixture through (straining out the lavender flowers). Add lemon juice and vodka to the strained syrup mixture; stir until thoroughly blended. Pour into container, cover, and place mixture in the freezer. When it is semi-solid, mash it up with a fork and refreeze again. When frozen, place in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Cover and refreeze until serving time.
- 30min. on the elliptical (-288)

5:15am. still drinking. Jamie's playing his computer games while I watch 'Spirited Away' and play Scrabble on my iPod. Izzy's here in the bedroom with us, while the other 6 are out in the living room.
too much popcorn. no yoga tomorrow, but I'm planning plenty of bike riding.

| so, today is the last day that the apartment people are doing unit inspections. as I mentioned, we're on the 'do-not-inspect' list(7 cats? definitely a no-no here haha). so, today, they tried out a new tactic--a half-assed request-to-enter voicemail informing us that, "There's a vibrating problem, um, with your refrigerator and, um, a neighbor has been disturbed by it."  riiiight. I haven't heard my fridge make a noise since I woke up.
anywho. I'm contemplating whether or not to hit the gym today. I really should, because I skipped Tuesday, and only did 15min. yesterday. tomorrow, we're finally getting my bike tire fixed, and I'm heading to yoga as well. and therapy. blah. should be fun, as I've taken several steps backward within the past three weeks.
in other news, I have a brand new box of Splenda, and I think I'll be drinking tea all day :) NO PEANUTS, ALMONDS, OR POPCORN.
alright. time to do dishes/clean the kitchen/scoop 3 litterboxes. yay.
//edit//
5:45pm. off to the gym in a minute here...I don't think I'm going to work out too hard, since my intake is/will be so low today. at least tomorrow I'll be able to ride my bike again, yay! I'll probably do 5-8 miles around the park :)
//edit//
9:00pm. glad that I pushed myself at the gym :) definitely worth it. now? soup, and brandy+Diet Coke.
in:
- 1/2 SoyJoy bar (65)
