01/21/09 - weighed in this morning at 129.8

Is that up? down? the same?

I dunno, my weight fluctuates by 5 lbs. The most I have ever weighed was 134. I've been about 127-131 for the past 6 months or so. It's hard for me to think Im losing weight/gaining muscle when it stays within this range. But I also havent been working out consistently for a long time either.

Last nights dinner:
beat the heck out of venison, cooked it on the stove, made deer fajitas. they were good.

this morning - too tired to get up and work out. long day today: class until 10:20.

bkft: flax seed waffle with redu fat pb & honey, 1 cup strawberries, 1 kiwi.
snack: apple
lunch: soup
snack: celery/carrots with hummus
dinner: maybe sandwich/salad at school.

Nor are you weighing your food/tracking your calories I'm guessing.

I wish i could find some venison around here. I hear its really yummy!

Nope! But I havent been consistently working out until the beginning of January. Over the holidays, I are like crap. I think I might do the fitday thing today, its such a pain in my a$$!! and most of the stuff i buy is much healthier than what it says on there, but when i have time to fill it out i am at work and not at home where i can customize it. argh! so annoying. thats why i usually dont do the fitday, its not easy and fast.

ok Stingo, I will start putting it into my daily calendar to go home after work each day and fill out my fitday (if i cannot do it at work). thanks for getting on my about this stuff! much appreciated.

Well, I think especially since Im in Texas (its easier to find an area to hunt) that I am surrounded by men who absolutely LOVE to hunt deer. So when deer season starts, my dad and some other people I know go out hunting and bring home too much deer. so they get it all packaged and send it to friends/relatives. yup. so every year my freezer is full of venison. its supposed to be really healthy for you too.
