Muke's growing journey

Y’all don’t need words from me.

I started writing a rant here about folk with one-track minds here, and how it’s my latest peeve, but I’m realizing it’s only a generalized peeve, and it’s not something I can take to a more specific level without mean-spiritedness I don’t feel.  To put it in positive terms:  be more than your favorite fixation. 

Personally it half bugs me to specialize my blog.   Those of you who have been watching a while know I used to have posts from what are now several different blogs all mixed together in one.  I took that big blog apart chiefly because I had an idea that the amalgamation would only really appeal to people who held all my interests, which is a vanishingly small area of the universal Venn diagram.  I’ve been thinking, though, of reinstating something like that—probably on LiveJournal—though would still need to work out some of the details. 

Enh, anyway. This week in gaining, only slightly higher than the previous week.   I’m trying to keep an eye, not just on my weight and growth therein but on my rate as well, because I want to reach my goal. Right now I look at 540 extra calories over metabolism per day to reach goal by year’s end.  This is more than last week, so I’m adding a bit to start getting that number back down.

I’ve actually been trying to work myself into a stable diet.  I have a set snack, lunch, and dinner I think I can sustain eating—instead of choosing a whole different menu every week, as I have for a while now—and the extra calories get worked in by adding new things for variety.   In theory it works… let’s just see about the follow-through.

And what’s my gaining resolution for this year?  To finally hit 250, of course.  Here’s to hoping I can keep up the resolve.

Apparently from being on BF since 2003 (eight years and seventy pounds) I have lots of pics up.
