Linux User at Best Buy

A friend forwarded me this comic today. I think that's a motorcycle he's riding but could just as easily be a bike in which case it'd be perfect. Thanks EJ.

Score! Here's my Haul from the Farmer's Market

I'm lucky to have a farmer's market within a mile of my home. When you consider that this is California, where much of the produce is organically and locally grown, and the fact that the market is every week, year-round, I just feel downright guilty whenever I miss it. Today was a great haul. Here are the goods I was able to score:

1 bag organic baby spinach: $2.50 (S)
1 pint blue curl honey: $8.00
2 pepper smoked salmon fillets (1.5 pounds): $25 (S)
3 Olympic Miyagi oysters: $4.50
1 Shrimp and crab tostada:: $5.00
2 flats raspberries $5.00 (S)
3 flats strawberries $5.00 (S)
4 pluots: $0.75
1 bag almonds $5.00 (S)
1 bag walnuts $5.00 (S)

I had the oysters and tostada for lunch while walking around and shopping. Then I came home, and made a huge salad with the baby spinach and one of the salmon fillets. I tossed in a cucumber I had and also an avocado.

The salmon fillet was over a pound which was a bit much but I enjoyed it anyway . I'm going to cut up some strawberries for a protein shake tonight and tomorrow morning for breakfast.

Apple Surprise Shake

I've been experimenting with my daily protein shakes and coming up with new recipes. Today, I hit the local farmer's market in Mountain View and scored some organic apple juice. Ordinarily, I'm on a nutrition program that calls for only zero calorie beverages. However, I love apple juice and couldn't pass up the opportunity. On the way home, I figured out a sneaky way to cheat and get the apple juice in according to my meal plan. The trick is that I can have protein shakes that, while technically a beverage, don't have the zero calorie rule associated with them. So, here's what I came up with:

2xMedium apples, cored and sliced into pieces
2 Tbsp flax seeds, ground
2 scoops protein powner
2 cups organic apple juice

Put all ingredients in blender and blend on high for 1 minute. Makes about three cups.

Enjoy.

Mmm, delicious.

Back to College Freshman Weight

This is pretty unbelievable to me but I'm back to the same weight I was at as a college freshman back in 1992! I recall sitting in the dorm room my freshman year discussing my weight with some friends who were surprised when I told them I weighed "about 230." Imagine my surprise this morning when I stepped on the scale and weighed in at 229.8! Back in February, I set a goal for myself of 240 by October 1, my 33rd birthday. I've now safely achieved that goal and so I've reset a new goal of 220 by November 15th. At my current rate of about -1.5 pounds per weed, I should make it with two weeks to spare.

Here's a weight by time chart:

Target weights from today at 229.8 to 220 at -1.5 per week:
