I eat about 4 - 6 meals a day. Depending on satisfaction about 3-4 hours. The chicken and veg I have listed were actually 2 separate eating times --- I just combined the amount for ease. And I had the Whey in the car going from the gym to Walmart to do shopping (which is where I ate my Subway) instead of after. I haven't actually tracked the # of calories each meal --- but they are probably 300 - 600.

I don't really have a weight goal. I want a firm mid section. I am realizing I don't have well defined goals here (hum). I would like for my size 6s to not fit tight around the waist. And to not have to go up to a size 8. Which is going to happen if I keep putting on weight.

I guess my real goal is to be as healthy as I can. I know that if I am gaining weight, I am not being as good to me as I should. I want to grow old and not get Type II diabetics --- which I am high risk for on both sides of my family and I was diabetic in both pregnancies (and I carry my weight in my belly). I want to be strong and able to move around. If I want to do something adventurous --- I don't want to be too physically unfit to do it. Last week I helped a family friend build a building --- I was able to carry bags of rocks, run power tools, crawl under things and attach them to other things. He was unable because he was too fat and out of shape. I want to be strong, fit and healthy. I see the scale going up as a sign that I am heading the wrong way.

I know that is vague.
