Busy today!
Update: Diet was good, Friday was my cheat day and I was in my range this weekend, astoundingly! SO I conquered another challenge week!
Weight is up to 143.5 lbs, though! Yesterday was in the high end (2100) and I believe there was a lot of salt in the Seafood Mistomare plate I ordered at Cafe Mare with PZ (scallops, clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari in tomato sauce with Cappellini). I'm also in the follicular phase just before ovulation, and from experience, I tend to gain a couple pounds before I lose a couple pounds in the beginning of the luteal phase. Trust me, it's important to know one's cycle!
This weekend: PZ and I went to an outdoor rave. We thought the music would be fresh, and that some of our favorite DJs would be playing but the sets from 10-1:30am were all techno and stale as fuck. I was never into techno or rave music--it's so CHEESEY with 80s song clips and a weak bass line. The synthetic "tee ticka tee" drum is the cheesiest part besides the trance-y breaks. No Dubstep or Fresh Experimental was being played while we were there. The laser show was awesome, though--crazy dancing lights that lit up the whole "dancefloor", which was mud in an open field in Watsonville, LOL! But it was so dark we couldn't see to find any of our friends, and when we sat down on the only seat (a split plank) to observe the kids with their glow-toys, we started making fun of everything and remarking on how sloppy and E-tarded all the kids seemed, and how there was a disturbing and disproportionate amount of teenagers present. What killed it for me most was, when I looked over in the dark at the kid next to me (who probably was like, 19), I saw a book and a huge rail of cocaine laid out
I fucking hate that drug, it's soooooooooooo stupid and it makes me think of 80s yuppies and thieving crackheads 
. I was so disgusted, I grabbed up PZ and we walked away and hung out elsewhere until kids left the seat and then we sat back down. It's not like I came to the party expecting no one to fuck with drugs, I just prefer not to SEE that shit laid out NEXT to me. We heard later that the second DJ stage, which was supposed to be set up by 1am, was set up around 3 and run off car batteries, and the sound kept sucking up and our beloved DJs like Mad Zach and the Dub Pirates had an awful time spinning--but we left at 1:30am. The music and the scene was too sloppy and stale for us. HOWEVER, we really enjoyed each others' company and had fun talking shit 
Sunday I dropped all plans to do 10:30am Yoga and 4pm breakdancing; PZ and I instead spent a wonderful, spontaneous, unplanned, and romantic time together
First, we went to the natty foods store and had wheat grass and vegetarian wraps for breakfast . Then we took Bounty, the half Pincher half European Doberman, for a walk on the beach; Bounty was whiny and naughty when we got around other dogs. I suggested we take him instead to the Forest of Nisene Marks for a long walk. PZ had never been there but is a Nature Boy who grew up in the woods, and was happy to go. The day was lovely and Bounty was a much better doggie--in fact, we noticed that he did better on his leash with ME than he did with PZ. I theorized that it was because I am a female and Bounty is an unfixed male--he probably instinctively balks at being controlled by another male (PZ) even though her knows him better. Our walk was 2 hours long! It was good for all three of us! Then we started talking V-Day and I mentioned Donnelly's World Famous Chocolates in Santa Cruz. I took PZ there and he got to taste, for the first time, the delicious hand-crafted truffles I have enjoyed since I moved to this county in 2002. THEN I took him to Cafe Mare because he's part Italian, and we enjoyed a great meal together. He'd never been there, either. SO I took him to 3 new places yesterday 
We snuggled and watched a movie (Stranger than Fiction) before I went home. I feel even more comfy and close to him now, what a great time we had! We have great conversations and get along famously. Imagine that! 
I had to admit I have Post Traumatic Relationship Syndrome and told him I'm not used to having a great time with my boyfriend. He was definitely supportive of me
Tonight: I plan on 2 Yoga classes. I'm still coughing but not as bad--my throat infection should be gone, soon. PZ bought a giant, brand-new air purifier for his room and the air is MUCH better, so I should have less issues when I sleep over.
I'll be back later.

the girl that took my dobbie...WANTS TO GIVE HIM BACK!! WHAT!!! I seriously think she's making up some of the crazy stuff she says he's doing...if she isnt, then he has gone nutso since I had him!! that will be 3 different homes he's had in less than a month!! I can't do it. Not to me and not to him!! It's draining on the emotions!! **sigh**
We had a great, bonding weekend. I also discovered he shares my political and philosophical views as well--and has his own opinions that I respect. Completely the opposite from my ex! This is fucking great 
Best luck and determination to you!
I learn a lot about what works for people and what doesn't, generally speaking. The different perspectives make it easier for me, in real life, to step back from a situation and assess what kind of solutions are best. PZ's not a dumbass, but like all of us, he gets stressed and like most Scorpios, can dwell on The Possibility of Negative Outcomes or basically, he prepares for the worst. I'm an optimist and pretty much expect everything to be peachy--and if it isn't, I MAKE it peachy by looking at things from a positive spin. I think he likes that about me.
Heya Gorgeous!
