05:43 Do I panic just yet? For the record my low weight was 158. #

09:46 Back, finally. Nah I'm not panicking about my weight, that doesn't take into consideration body makeup, fat percentage, muscle #

09:46 While I've always maintained that people who immediately jump to "it's probably muscle" might be fooling themselves #

09:46 This morning regardless of my weight, my belt is down a notch. So I'm going the muscle route. ;) #

20:58 Went by Staples tonight, got a 100-pack of HP DVD-R's for 25 bucks. #

21:42 I just did some calculations for calories in/calories out. According to this, I've been eating 600 calories too little. #

21:43 This after increasing by 500 calories a month ago hehehe #

21:49 The formula also factors in time lifting weights and time running. It sounds good anyway, hehehe #

21:49 It claims that it loses 2 pounds of fat per week #

22:25 The Senate is so amazingly busy, they're delaying the DTV deadline by 4 months. They just didn't have time to go digital I guess. #
