210.
It’s 210 on the official Saturday weigh-in but I’ve actually been at 211 around the past few days, which I think is a record for me; if I hit 212, I’m pretty certain it will be. Don’t want to rest on laurels, though… I’d really like to get back on track: since being sick a month ago I’ve been on average eating over my metabolism (mostly) but not over my calorie budget: if I can beat 250 by the end of this year, I really want to, but my average rate so far this year will only get me a little more than half a pound a week.
Luckily most of my intake is becoming—well, not habit certainly, but routine at least. All I have to do is make sure the calories add up.
| Average budgeted: | 3602 calories/day |
| Average eaten: | 3336 calories/day |
| DP calculated metabolism: | 3129 calories/day |
| Expected gain: | about half a pound |
| Actual gain: | 1 lb |
Last week I made egg rolls, which came out pretty awesome—and not just because the recipe made about three times as many as I thought it would. I’ll have to post you guys my recipe later when I get an opportunity. I’m half-tempted to start a recipe section on this site, but I don’t quite feel in the mood for subjecting more random Googling grandmas to my gut up there in the corner than necessary—I get enough hits on random food keywords as is—so for now at least I’ll still be posting on Recipezaar. But I’ve really been enjoying putting together recipes lately, so I might set up a separate site just for them sometime.
I’ve also been thinking about starting video posts again. Maybe there’ll be one up next week, if my hair cooperates. (I’m such a vain beast.)
Love to you all.

Super big congrats on getting back up there in weight, Muke. I, for one, vote for more vid posts! I loved hearing and seeing you in the flesh (pun intended). I love seeing you caress the belly and show it off, too!
Haha, thanks man. :x)
