• PowerBar
• two turkey and cheese sandwiches with mayo
• Hawaiian Punch

The mountain bike wasn't that long, but my legs felt a lot like lead. Maybe it was the drinking last night combined with the exercise yesterday. Or definitely it was. *cough*

Yay, back to the forgetting!

Okay, so I was on vacation. Sue me. My average of six readers per day drops to like two on Saturday, so you two people will just have to suffer through SOME HOW.

No weight, no workout. Day off. Wow, today was simple.

Another day...

Another day without soda (or sweet tea or lemonade or anything "bad" to drink)!

I'm going to start a slightly new trend. I've been pretty good about listing what I eat in the order I eat it. Now I'm going to standardize a little bit more. Things on the same line were basically "meals" eaten at the same time. Everything should be in the order it was eaten, and now I'm going to stick the workout in the list according to when it happened, too.

If you notice that a workout has a link, that goes to the Garmin site where you can see more data on it.

• Muscle Provider shake, Clif bar, Gu Chomps pack
• an hour workout of full body stuff with my trainer
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• Chick-fil-A chicken salad sandwich, some fruit
• thirty minutes of stationary bike followed by thirty minutes of running
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• two 1/2 pound hamburger steak sandwiches with mayo and ketchup from Char-Grill
• peach cobbler

No weight today, either. Probably a good thing since I've been eating peach cobbler every day.

Ooh, no soda.

Made it. Wow. Hard.

• half a Clif bar (dropped the other half outside in the dirt, dammit)
• lots of pork bbq and some potato chips
• some sort of salad with flatiron steak from Bear Rock Cafe. Not terribly good, unfortunately. Also mooched a few of the kids potato chips and some fruit.

Long day.

But fun.

Well, Mexican-ish.

• Muscle Provider shake
• Clif bar
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• chicken and black bean burrito, chips, salsa, from Carrburritos

Back to the grind.

And on the bike!

• tiny bag of Skittles (the little kid bags)
• two steaks and two servings of Kraft mac-n-cheese (my fav!)
• Cytofuse recovery shake

201.4 pounds, 18.5% body fat. Don't know how that's possible since I ate like crap and didn't really exercise at the lake. Fools gold. But today I did do an hour on the stationary bike. My foot is still kind of jacked up, but I'll probably run on it tomorrow and see if it's really okay or if I can finish it off.

• pack of Lance peanut butter crackers
• pork chops in gravy, rice, blackeyed peas
• Cytofuse recovery shake

I don't remember what my weight was this morning, but that's probably because I'm blocking it out. Dang, I'm working my butt off and the pounds aren't moving. It only took three weeks to gain them and in three weeks they haven't even started to leave. This sucks.

Ooh!

A decent day.

• Muscle Provider shake
• three scrambled eggs, sausage
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• grilled chicken (leftover) and some baked chips
• tiny bag of Reeses Pieces, tiny bag of Skittles
• salad with steak on it and balsamic vinaigrette

I like beef.

Duh.

• Clif bar
• Muscle Provider shake
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• two Gu packets
• two 1/2 pound hamburger steak sandwiches from Char-Grill, Mountain Dew
• grapes, salad, grilled chicken, cookie, cheese and crackers

204.0 pounds, 20.1% body fat, workout was 16+ miles of mountain biking (2600 calories burned!)

I'm tired of titles for these.

Seriously.

• Clif bar
• chicken nachos from Armadillo Grill with Mountain Dew
• banana
• couple cupcakes and a couple cookies and lemonade
• steak, mashed potatoes, and an ear of corn on the cob (homemade at Bob and Tiffany's house...thanks guys!)

No weight, workout was some swimming and gokarting. Heh, if you can call that a workout.

I have an excuse!

My wife came home after being MIA for five days. That's why I forgot, I swear!

• Balance Bare bar
• Muscle Provider shake
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• pizza and pepperoni rolls from Anna Maria's with Mountain Dew
• Alice Springs Chicken from Outback Steakhouse with cheese fries
• banana bread

Weight was 202.1, 17.5% body fat (scale problem, obviously). Workout was an hour with my trainer doing entire body stuff.

It's electric!

Boogie-woogie.

• grilled chicken and cheetohs
• banana
• almost lasagna (Ashley's dish)

No weight, no workout, yeah, I'm gonna die soon. Bleck.

Got it on the right day AGAIN. Amazing stuff, I tell you.

• Balance Bare bar
• 1/2 pound hamburger steak sandwich at Char-Grill. Yes, with fries and a Mt. Dew. *sigh*
• awesome salmon and potato salad and regular salad finished with an amazing apple pie and ice cream from Alan and Jane's house. Yummy.

200.8 pounds (dang!) and 20.1% body fat (not-so-dang!). No workout. The basketball was big and late last night.

Getting better.

About remembering, anyway.

• Balance Bare bar
• couple apple slices
  
• two cheeseburgers with mayo and ketchup, sweet tea from Allen and Sons
• three tacos, chips and cheese dip from Armadillo Grill
• one scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream from Maple View Farms

Didn't get a weight, but the workout was two hours of basketball. Gonna be sore tomorrow for sure thanks to a shot to the top of the head while I was going straight up. I heard some serious poppage in there.

And probably half were late. But not today!

• Cytofuse recovery shake
• grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato, bacon, and mayo and fruit cup from The Loop
• Snickers bar (regular size)
• steak and baked potato leftover from yesterday
• lemon bars (they're just as good today as they were yesterday!)

204.0 pounds, some unfair body fat number, workout was an hour with my trainer in the demolition zone. He hates me for my breakfast.

• steak, baked potato (butter and salt), corn on the cob, assorted fruit (watermelon, kiwi, grapes)

I think I made up for not having lunch. 202.0 pounds, 20.1% body fat (Holy broken body fat meters!), workout was some pond paddling and some mountain biking and a LOT of swimming, including competitions to see who could swim underwater the furthest. It was a tie.

On time!

It's good to be king. Not that I would know, but I have to think it is, anyway.

• assorted fruit
• number 9 from Jersey Mikes on wheat with mayo, lettuce, tomato, Mountain Dew

No weight, no workout.

Channeling...

• Muscle Provider shake
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• Clif bar

You'd think...

Ugh. Where are the vegetables?

The scale said 199.0 and 18.7% body fat, but it didn't mean it. Workout was 2:15 of mountain biking with some of the Pisgah crew. Feel like I'm in better shape than this time last year, but still hit a wall at about and hour-forty-five that sucked. Not only did my legs try to quit, my brain shut down, too. Ugh.

I don't remember what the heck I weighed this morning. Probably 199.0 and I think 18.6% body fat. Or something. I've fallen back into the "Balance bar" routine in the mornings somehow, but it's unwillingly. I just couldn't get up this morning in time for anything more. Which made me think my workout (and hour with my trainer) would suck, but it really didn't. I kicked butt, I thought. No soda today!

Yeah, I did it.

• pork sausage
• Muscle Provider shake
• two chicken tenders and chips from Yesterday's grill (yeah, fried)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• chicken, broccoli, and peppers stir fry with rice on the side
• banana
• trail mix

199.2 pounds, 18.0 percent body fat. Workout was a four mile mountain bike ride before the rain hit and shortened it. Ugh.

Weight again!

Got it today.

• three scrambled eggs
• pork sausage
• Muscle Provider shake
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• one pepperoni pizza role, one piece of bbq chicken pizza from Anna Maria's in Carrboro
• Coke
  
• one 1/2 pound hamburger steak, one 1/4 pound hamburger steak sandwich both with ketchup, mayo, and cheese and a handful of fries from Char-Grill

198.0 pounds and 18.8 percent body fat. Workout was an hour with my trainer.

Forgot again.

• three scrambled eggs
• pork sausage
• Muscle Provider shake
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• some crackers
• celery and broccoli, raw, in some light ranch
• grilled chicken breast, grilled salmon, potato salad, slaw

Didn't weight in yesterday. Workout was an 1:15 on the stationary bike and then some stuff in the pool for rehab.

Oops, forgot yesterday.

I blame it on the concussion.

• BLT with scrambled egg and a Coke from Foster's Market
• grilled chicken salad from The Loop

• pack of peanut butter crackers
• banana
• apple
• grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato, mayo
• Sun Chips
• two Filet-o-fish sandwiches, one medium fry from McDonalds

If I weighed myself today, I don't remember it. I don't think that's because of my crash, but you never know. I do know I didn't really work out, but I did sweat a lot in the race car. For what that's worth.

Track food. Good food.

Had a mix today.

• Balance Bare bar
• sausage and egg biscuit at the track
• banana
• granola bar
• two double cheeseburgers with ketchup (more track food!)
• bbq pork on fried green tomatos and macaroni au gratin from Poole's in Raleigh. Yum!
• big sugar cookie

Forgot to weigh today. Might forget tomorrow, too. No workout. Boo.

*sigh*

I gotta do better, but these next few days will suck since I'll be at the track. Ugh.

• Balance Bare bar
• chicken and black-bean burrito from Carrburrito (with flour chips and chipotle)
• handful of jelly beans
• leftover pot roast, bbq chicken, rice and gravy

199.2 pounds, 18.1 percent body fat (I think yesterday was the same, I don't know why I remembered it as 19%). No workout. Ugh.

Camptown lady sings this song...

• turkey, bacon, ranch sandwich from Arby's (with lettuce, tomato)
• apple turnover
• Mountain Dew
• baked bbq chicken
• oven fried zucchini
• potatoes (baked)
• lemonade
• apple
• banana

199.2 pounds, and 19.1% body fat. Damn, that's the wrong way. Perhaps not doing a workout (thanks, knee) didn't help today, either. *sigh*

Yup.

Or nope. I forget.

• three scrambled eggs
• pork sausage
• Muscle Provider shake
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• two turkey and cheese sandwiches with mayo
• trail mix
• homemade pot roast, steamed broccoli, rice and gravy

Didn't do too badly, I guess.

• Cytofuse recovery shake
• two cheeseburgers with lettuce, tomato, ketchup from Allen and Sons BBQ
• banana
• three tacos and chips and cheese from Armadillo Grill

197.8 pounds, 19.1% body fat (that scale is weird!). Workout was an hour with the trainer, but it wasn't much of a workout thanks to how sore I was from the day before. Wow.

Starvin' Marvin Jose

I don't know how it came to be, but that's what Kevin and Zach say when they're starving.

• three scrambled eggs
• pork sausage
• Muscle Provider shake
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• grilled chicken and oven fried potatoes (leftovers)
• grilled chicken sandwich with bacon, cheese, mayo, and a fruit cup from The Loop
• tiny cheese pizza slice and a couple french fries from the kid's plates at The Loop
• apple
• bowl of grapes

199.2 pounds, 19.1% body fat. And I was starving all day. Odd. But my workout (just after breakfast) was a 45 minute stationary bike and about a three mile run on the trails. So my workout was a bit bigger than recent ones, anyway.

Back in the routine...

Road tripping done and I'm back at it.

• three scrambled eggs
• pork sausage
• Muscle Provider shake
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• grilled chicken sandwich from Saxapahaw General Store
• Snickers bar
• Nature Valley Fruit & Nut bar

• pack of mini donuts
• two filet-o-fish sandwiches, medium fries, sprite, hot fudge sundae with nuts...where else, McDonalds.
  
• chicken salad sandwich and fruit cup from Chick-fil-A

Awesome. No weight, no workout. Just riding, and riding, and riding.

Yeah, it's late, but TOO BAD

I can't believe I'm even able to post this!

• antipasto salad
• two big pieces of deep dish Detroit pizza from Buddy's
• handful of Hot Tamales
• 16oz sirloin and baked potato from Shula's Steakhouse
• cup of Dippin' Dots (cookies and cream)

No weight today, no workout. Just much yelling.

Isn't anybody going to help that poor man?

Tired.

• blueberry muffin
• orange juice
• five ribs
• chicken ravioli
• green beans
• side salad with tomato, lettuce, balsamic vinaigrette

• two double cheeseburgers with ketchup and fries from the Hunter House in Birmingham, MI. Good stuff, thanks J!

Might as well keep up the Blazing Saddles.

• three krispy kreme doughnuts
• Wendy's double cheeseburger with ketchup
• fries (dammit)
• twisted vanilla frosty with Oreo (double-dammit!)
• coke (I'd say "triple-dammit", but at this point it's no longer funny and just sad)
• "chicken fresco" at Ruby Tuesday. Has some sort of balsamic something on tomato slices on grilled chicken. mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.

197.8 pounds, 18.1 percent body fat. The BF is definitely going down slowly overall, but that scale doesn't measure terribly accurately (obviously with the way the numbers bounce day to day). Well, and days like today won't help the BF since not only did I eat like, err, I can't say, but I've been in a car all day with no workout in sight. Blame my wife on the doughnuts, though. Stupid fundraisers at stupid elementary school. Stupid stupid stupid.

Harumph. I didn't get a 'harumph' from that guy.

Eh, Blazing Saddles quote seemed as good as any.

• three scrambled eggs
• pork sausage
• Muscle Provider shake
• two double cheeseburgers, plain with ketchup, from Burger King

199.0 pounds and 17.3 percent body fat. Workout was an hour of three on three full court basketball (94' court...oh man, that's rough).

• Muscle Provider shake
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• pork loin BBQ and potato salad from The Q-Shack
• Mountain Dew
  
• oatmeal raisin cookie
• seared tuna and cheesy baked potato from 42nd Street Oyster Bar
• sugar cookie

198.6 pounds and 18.2 percent body fat. I knew that number from yesterday was bogus! Anyway, two big cookies and a Mountain Dew doesn't make for a great day. Gotta get back to the salads.

Back.

Yay.

• two big pieces of ham, two servings of green beans, white beans, corn, cornbread, roll, cup of vegetable soup, bowl of banana pudding all from The Old Country Store in Jackson, TN.

Hmm, it doesn't look so bad if you list it all like that. *giggle* No weight today, but I did do 45 minutes of spinning on a stationary bike and a good core circuit this morning.

Yeah, okay.

Better day today?

Well, it was a better day until that damned dessert, I guess. No weight, but I did do a 40 minute treadmill run this morning. Hope to do a little bit more than that tomorrow...or at least some bike along with it.

Memphis, baby!

Got some Memphis today.

• barbeque pork sandwich
• potato chips
• vegetable beef soup
• half turkey sandwich on wheat with lettuce, tomato, mayo
• more coke

Yeah, too much soda. No weight today, which is probably good. Going back home tomorrow, but it'll be another road trip day, dangit. No workout today, either. Should be home in time to workout tomorrow, though.

Toting kids around day.

Yeah, these are hard.

• scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon
• coke and other soda (hey, it was World of Coke tour day in Atlanta!)
• tuna salad from some salad concoction place in CNN Center (not a mayo type salad, a real salad with fresh tuna in it)
• seared Ahi Tuna from a seafood place in Atlanta

No weight today, no workout other than walking around downtown. Which isn't much.

I keep forgetting these bad days.

• Chick-fil-A chicken-salad sandwich, three chicken strips, large fruit cup

Typical day.

199.2 pounds, 18.5% body fat. Workout was mostly upper body and core as my legs were toast from the big bike ride yesterday. Least I avoided the soda-trap today. It's hurting me, though.

Eh...

I dunno.

• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• big salad with chicken on top, two hardboiled eggs, mixed greens, spinach, shredded carrots, balsamic vinaigrette, sprouts

201.0 pounds, 18.8% body fat, but that was before this day of eating. Oh dear. No workout today as I rest up for tomorrow's mountain bike ride. That stair running after a big workout yesterday got to me a bit.

Almost forgot!

Better late than never.

• four slices of turkey bacon
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)

201.2 pounds, 19.2% body fat. Workout was a full hour with my trainer doing a lot of full body stuff (upper back, shoulders, and endless amounts of squats!). Then I did about twenty minutes of running steps. Ugh.

Wife sick.

• Nature Valley granola bar

201.6 pounds, 19.6% body fat. No workout today. Trainer was out of town and my calves were too sore from Monday. Trainer's fault! Plus I road tripped for most of the day.

• banana
  

204.4 pounds and 19.1% body fat. HUH? No idea how the weight spiked like that. Strange. I didn't work out yesterday or today. Just didn't feel it.

Slept through breakfast

Got to bed way late, then slept till 10am.

• Balance Bare bar

• home cooked tuna steak, seared
• brown rice
• two large barbeque sandwiches
• banana
• apple
• Trader Joe's trail mix

201.4 pounds, 19.6% body fat. Today's workout was an hour with the trainer doing a bunch more full body stuff. Lack of sleep made it, err, interesting.

Back on track

Yeah, I'm back on track. The race track! Hah. But that explains why lunch was a burger. No better choices there.

• Bojangles sausage and egg biscuit
• Mountain Dew (had to have caffeine thanks to lack of sleep)
• double cheeseburger with ketchup
• Honey and Oats granola bar
• stir fried chicken, white rice and light gravy, oven roasted zucchini
• Trader Joe's trail mix

200.6 pounds, 19.6% body fat. No serious exercise today, unless you count around two hours of driving a race car and sweating profusely. Hmm, yeah, that counts. You try it.

Yesterday

Oops. Got in a hurry to get stuff packed for the racetrack today and forgot to blog my food.

• three scrambled eggs
• two pieces of turkey bacon
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• Carrburrito chicken burrito with black beans and flour chips and chipotle salsa

Weight is 202.4 with 19.1% body fat. Yeah, didn't hurt myself bad on vacation! Did an hour of basketball as my workout today.

Flying day.

Last one of these or a while, thankfully.

• scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage
• big hunk of pineapple
• peach
• large salad with smoked salmon on top. cucumber, radish, cabbage, lettuce, balsamic vinaigrette, and probably a few other things
• lots of Trader Joe's trail mix

Never really had supper, but two big meals is probably enough when the rest of the day is just sitting. No workout, no weight today. Back on both those tomorrow.

Another casino day

But I ate better than yesterday, at least.

• apple fritter (okay, not much better)
• orange juice
• side salad with romaine, boiled egg, cheese, some kind of vinaigrette (this casino could have the least interesting salad bar at the buffet you've ever seen)
  
• big hunk of pineapple
  
• prime rib, small mashed potatoes, fried rice
• Trader Joe's trail mix
• Southwest turkey wrap (turkey, cheese, avocado, chipotle sauce, romaine, tomato)
• potato salad (very small amount, though)

No weight again, but I did do an hour on the exercise bike, a few upper body exercises, and a big ab circuit. And the food here is so mediocre that I'm looking forward to going to the airport for lunch tomorrow. Yeah. It's like that.

Ugh.

Spent the entire day at the casino, so quality food wasn't much of an option.

• apple fritter
• orange juice
• 16oz Mt. Dew
  
• turkey club sandwich on wheat
• potato salad
• pizza (lots of it, just meat)
• root beer

No weight or body fat, but I did do exercise bike for an hour and a half and then a core exercise circuit, so I worked out for almost two full hours. Also did some karting tonight, which isn't exactly easy on the body.

Convention day.

Convention days are not good.

• scrambled eggs
• bacon
• sausage
• small muffin
• small side salad
• pot roast
• green beans
• some sort of potato casserole (it was a luncheon with no food choices)
• two double-doubles, one regular fry order, and one root beer from In-n-Out Burger

Flying day.

So I did better on this flying day than normal, anyway.

• leftover cube steak from the other night
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• Amy's organic burrito (had rice and beans and I don't remember what else)
• Trader Joe's trail mix

• pack of Lorna Doone shortbread cookies

I was 202.2 and 19.8% body fat today. No weights coming for a few days, though, since I'm away from the scale. I did play basketball for an hour today. Three on three on a 94' full court is brutal.

Quicky update

• spaghetti pizza from last night
  

202.2, 19.6%, knees were a little raw today so we just did an upper body and core workout (me and my trainer, as usual).

Variety!

Good food today! Not as great a vegetable mix, but not bad. Lots of carbs in the supper, which isn't great.

• three scrambled eggs
• chicken sausage
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• stir fry of turkey bacon, spinach, cannellini beans, and tomatoes
• spaghetti-pizza! homemade dish that's noodles, tomato sauce, cheese, chicken pepperoni, and ground beef
• roasted zucchini and onions (salt, pepper, garlic, olive oil)
• some Trader Joe's trail mix
  

202.8 pounds, 20.1% body fat. Workout was an hour of pick-up basketball.

Much sausage!

I like this day.  No salad and yet I had good vegetables.  The burrito was a frozen one from Whole Foods that's all healthy stuff.  Tasted pretty good, too.

• three scrambled eggs
• four chicken sausage links
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• boc choi, asparagus, baby broccoli...steamed
• turkey sausage
• organic bean burrito
• homemade fruit salad from the other day
• more Trader Joe's trail mix

Weighed 202.0 with 20.6% body fat this morning.  Workout was a cardio/strength circuit with my trainer that was pretty tough.  Also got a deep tissue massage, then got a good sweat going coaching the kids (trying to teach defense...ugh).

Soda!

Well, today wasn't so hot.  I really wanted a treat, though, and made the Mt. Dew be the treat.  Okay, a couple burgers for lunch isn't so great, but it isn't horrible.  My fried intake is still WAY down, as is sugar.

• five chicken sausage links
• three scrambled eggs
• 1/2 pound and 1/4 pound Char-Grill hamburger steak sandwiches with cheese, mayo, ketchup
• three french fries
• big Mt. Dew
• couple handfuls of Trader Joe's trail mix
• homemade pot roast
• au gratin baked potato
• salad with mixed greens, spinach, carrots, sprouts, edamame beans, sugar snap peas, baby broccoli, celery, balsamic vinaigrette

201.4, 19.6% but that was after breakfast.  Didn't shower until then.  No workout today...but I did six straight days with one, so I'm due a day off.

Lots of food today!

Diversity.  But I'm eating real food for breakfast now at my trainer's urging.  Sure, I should be avoiding the biscuits, but supposedly everything else is fine.  Tomorrow I'm gonna have some turkey sausage!

• three scrambled eggs
• two sausage patties
• one and a half country ham biscuits (they were small!)
• two small cups of orange juice
• bowl of homemade fruit salad (pineapple, oranges, apples, grapes, raisins, small marshmallows, miracle whip)
• leftover cube steak from the other night
• handful of Trader Joe's trail mix
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• one Dewey's cake square (thanks Steve!).  It's really just a small piece of white sheet cake with icing on top.  Probably 2" square and an 1.5" tall.
• probably the most diverse salad I've ever had...sugar snap peas, edamame beans, mixed greens, spinach, hard boiled egg, two kinds of sprouts, pecans, baby broccoli, celery, balsamic vinaigrette, shredded carrots

202.6 and 19.1% body fat, but that was late in the day after a hour and a half mountain bike ride, not my normal post-shower morning weight.  Forgot that today.

Fish!

Got some fish today.  Yummy.  Cooked it myself, too.

• three scrambled eggs
• four strips of turkey bacon
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• big tuna steak, seared
• small side salad...mixed greens, spinach, sprouts, celery, baby broccoli, balsamic vinaigrette
• handful of some Trader Joe's trail mix
• bbq chicken breast (homemade)
• parmesan rice (leftover from the other night)

Weighed in this morning at 200.0 with 20.8% body fat.  Today's workout was a tough cardio/strength circuit with my trainer.

Long day.

Dentist visit this morning, so I treated myself to a biscuit after.

• sausage and egg biscuit from The Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• big salad, this time with variety!  mixed greens, spinach, two different kinds of sprouts, baby broccoli, one hard boiled egg, some steak, a small grilled chicken breast, balsamic vinaigrette
• small serving of cube steak and white rice

Weighed 201.2 with 20.8% body fat this morning.  Workout today was an hour of pick-up basketball.  Played terrible!

Odd one.

Today was weird.

• Balance Bare bar
• Muscle Provider shake (2 servings)
• Cytofuse recovery shake
• Chick-fil-A chicken salad sandwich and large fruit cup
• three nuggets Kevin didn't want from above
• homemade chicken and cheese quesadilla
• handful of Sun Chips
• banana
• a steak from the other night
• small glass of orange juice
• bowl of grapes
• pb&j sandwich

Weighed 199.4 with 21.2% body fat.  I must not have drank enough water yesterday, because there's no other way I lost two pounds in a day.  And then with all THIS food I've had, no way I'm light tomorrow.  Don't know why, but I've just been starving all day today.
