I gained 3 pounds. How charming. I knew I'd be up. After a two pound whoosh (that quickly reversed itself) two weeks ago and then binging last week it was inevitable. That's okay. I have to take the good with the bad, even if the bad vastly outweighs the good. I'll just keep plugging along.

Today is the 16th anniversary of the Loma Prieta quake. 63 people died. 41 of those people died when the Cypress Freeway collapsed on itself.

I found this page about it; it's also where I got the picture from. And here is last year's blog entry about it.

Went to the gym today. Did about 45 minutes of weight training, 30 on the crossramp elliptical, and then just 5 walking on the treadmill since I ran out of time. I had to run to the bank first and that put me behind schedule.

It's official - I can only get half the dental work done this year that I need; the other half will have to wait until January. I have an $1800 cap at work. So far I have used $627.84. That leaves 1,172.16. 80% (Family Radio's portion) of the $1792 of work that needs to be done is $1,433.60. So that must wait. The good news is I should be able to go ahead with the basic cleaning in December and get that out of the way until March or so (I've been told to do it every 3 months).

I got the check for the $1792 from Dad today (of which I must return 80%). I put it in the bank to give it time to clear. Next week I will withdraw half the amount in cash and hold onto it until January, then use my debit card at the dentist to pay for the half of the treatment I can get this year.

I walked over 17,000 steps yesterday. :)
