Crap. I just keep gaining. It has to be the soy. Every time I eat the soy cereal I start gaining and I know it's bloat. Plus, two cheat days this week made the whole week a wash. So time to get back to my regular one cheat day per week, and cut out the soy cereal. Doing a high protein breakfast is so difficult without the cereal. I need to start thinking about meat and lower-carb dairy options.

I'm also getting sick. I've had a sore throat for a couple of days now. I bought various cold and allergy medications yesterday and am dosing up on Zicam and Vitamin C. I made it to the gym anyway, and did a full workout. Thank God for Rock Star energy drinks! Tomorrow I am going to sleep in and let my body fight off this cold.

Had one sad thing happen this weekend. Brad came to church with me on Sabbath, and as we were driving back there was some really bad traffic. We finally came upon the cause of the traffic backup - an accident scene. Any cars had already been cleared, and on site were a bunch of police and the coroner's van. I could see a body on a stretcher wrapped head to toe in a sheet, and blood was visible on the sheet. It's not every day you see a dead body, and this guy was clearly dead. After the accident scene the traffic cleared up.

By the way, Abby came back on Thursday night while I was doing laundry. She was only gone one day this time. I guess she is settling into the domestic life. Brad pointed out that each time she gets out, she comes back sooner. :)

Now for the photos. First, I got Thursday night's dinner photos up. More will likely appear on my Flickr account when I get Jon and Lisa's photos. Click any photo to enlarge and read a full explanation.

I also took a couple of sunset photos through the window of the restaurant.

Friday Brad and I went walking in Sibley Park. I took just one picture of a lizard on a small side trail. Click to enlarge.

Saturday after church Brad and I visited the Mormon Temple in Oakland, something I have been wanting to do for a long time. A lady explained some things to us about the temple, then left us to the exhibits in the visitor center. There is so much stuff to look at there, we couldn't do it all and I want to go back again. Here's some photos we took outside. Click on them for a larger size and full explanation.
