    I've lost quite a bit of water, and my fingers feel normal now again. I've started working out again, so I will probably see that reflected in the weight. I'm having a lot of upper back pain related to my breast size (which has stubbornly refused to deflate with the rest of me) and I'm hoping strengthening the muscles there will help with it. I hate going to bed sore.

    I have to say that it's easy not to eat too much when it's this hot and sticky. I don't want to do ANYTHING.

    Today is the day I tidy the pantry and the big freezer (things get shifted around sometimes when I need to put a cookie sheet full of something in there to freeze separately) and the fridge. Once a month this tidy is an actual "pull it all out and wipe it out" but the rest of the time it's just a rearrangement, hefting containers of mustard to see how full they are and whether that needs added to the shopping list, and generally making as much room as I can for raw ingredients when I get them tomorrow.

    I also need to make a quichecake (pizza: tomato paste, diced pepperoni, turkey Italian sausage, peppers, onions, mushrooms, Italian seasoning) for backup; we just started the lamb gyro quichecake, and I always like to have one in the freezer.

    The base is six eggs and a block of softened cream cheese beaten up together. That makes a pie plate. (If your pie plate is small, I'd do 5 eggs instead of 6.) You can double that for a 9 x 13 pan.

    So this iteration has chopped pepperoni and turkey Italian sausage, grilled peppers and onions, tomato paste worked into the batter (so it's red instead of pale yellow) and Italian seasoning. I would say I have about two cups total of mix-ins and about 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. It bakes about an hour, and can then be frozen or will last in the fridge a week. My boyfriend eats a slice of it every morning for breakfast, and it has enough protein in it to get him through to lunch.

    Other variations involve sausage and cheddar cheese and spinach; bacon, Swiss cheese, and grilled onions; and thinly sliced steak with grilled onions and mushrooms. You can pretty much put anything in it that you would put in an omelet.

    @kelMee2 - so you've been menstruating continuously for a month? I hope you can talk to a doctor about that soon if you haven't done so already.

    At Mom's house this morning. Power went out at my house twice yesterday. I had gone to the gym once it went the first time and by the time I got back it went out again. Back to mom's house with the dog it was. Before it got dark I got the bunch of weeds out of my yard surrounding a tree. The thistle was as tall as me. Hope my neighbors are shouting their obscenities at me for getting so high.

    Had a car visit on Tues only to need to go back either today or tomorrow. Being at Mom's house might help if it's today.

    Yesterday would have been my brother's 46 birthday. I'm blaming him for the power outage to make me go back to mom's house. HA. Since DH didn't want to go out to our usual restaurant I picked up a favorite fast food of my brothers. I'm testing out tomatoes so allowed myself the few items. Went to the gym with the first outage as they DH's work is close and they had power before he left. Storm hit while I was there so did a longer treadmill time instead of a short elliptical time until it passed.
