I knew I'd gain weight and am happy that it was only a little over half a pound from my last weight-in two weeks ago. I just gotta keep restricting and exercising. Today's weight of 136 is my goal weight so it could be a lot worse. I want to go lower, though. I feel fat at 136.

Friday I stayed home and baked the communion bread for church, plus my own made-up bread recipe for Brad and I to share. It came out much better than the last try. It was still a little dry, but not nearly as bad.

The owner left the front apartment open since I wanted Brad to see it. When he came over after work he looked at it. He noticed a decided lack of enough electrical outlets. I called Colleen and asked her to ask Roger (the owner) if more can be installed.

For example, there is only one electrical outlet in the kitchen, behind the refrigerator. When am I going to plug in the coffee maker, fish tack, blender, etc.? There is also one outlet in the living room and one in the bedroom. There is none is the bathroom right now, but the bathroom is completely torn up and I assume one will be installed when it is finished.

Other than the outlet issue Brad liked the apartment and it could work for us. It's a small one bedroom, but we don't need a lot of space - just enough for us each to have our own space.

After looking at the apartment we went to Costco for salad and then Safeway. We were in for the rest of the evening.

Saturday after church we did a short walk at Point Pinole. I wasn't wearing good walking shoes or we would have gone farther. Brad saw a Costco nearby that he'd never been to and wanted to look around so we went there. I was craving chocolate frozen yogurt and bought it as Costco instead of spending a lot more money at Tuttimelon.

We made another stop at the Safeway by my house to buy more Yoplait Light yogurt because I ate the yogurt meant for Saturday on Friday night. I bought a double tall skinny vanilla latte and a piece of reduced fat coffee cake at the Starbucks in the store.

Dinner was tofu pan-fried in a little olive oil. I know soy protein isn't healthy, but I miss tofu and figure it won't hurt me to have it occasionally. I'd been craving it and Brad cooked it well. :)

Today we did some hiking in the Redwood Park area - a little over an hour. It was very hilly, but awesome. There were a lot of people out. The weather was good but is starting to turn to autumn and get cooler.

After the hike Brad dropped me off at work. He said he would go home and cut and portion the salad he said he'd do yesterday. I also asked him to scoop the litter box because I forgot to do that yesterday.

He said he's made his decision and will move his stuff out of Nicole's place. He's very slow about these things so he will be staying out there tonight and maybe tomorrow night. After that he will more or less move in with me.

The lady who's showing the studio apartments told me that I do not have a parking place. I didn't need one when I moved in because Brad only stayed on weekends. Brad can apply for one when and if he ever gets his application in, but it may already be too late. There are only three spots and two are already taken. I told Brad to finish and mail the application ASAP if he wants to avoid parking on the street.

The rest of the true crime books I ordered on Amazon must have come Friday because I found the package when I came into work today. Yay! More reading material. I am almost finished with my current book Laci, about the Laci Peterson case that happened right here in California.

Tomorrow I hope to hit the gym.
