The Silence is Broken

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while. I had planned to post more frequently but school's been crazy and I barely have time to hang out with friends, let alone post on here.

I haven't been able to keep up with the new recipe's thing, mostly due to me having a lack of organization, but I've been collecting recipe cards whenever I see them anywhere, like grocery stores and magazines. I think this is a great way to expand a knowledge of recipes, I know that whenever I look online for recipes there's almost too much to choose from, and when you're as indecisive as me, that's a huge problem.

As for gaining, I'm up a little. Last few times I weighed I was 212ish. I find that weight is not the greatest measurement however. It fluctuates so much day to day, I know Ive weighed 5lbs heavier or lighter day to day even if its at the same time of day. But this time I think I can say I'm pretty solidly above 210, which is really great since Ive been stuck just below 210 for a long time.

I'll try to update again soon, I have some great recipes I wanna try and will post about, like an herb stuffed pork chop! Thanks for reading!

Gaining Television

The Food Network

For those of you who have cable or satellite or whatever (which I'm going to go out on a limb here and say is most of you) you have probably watched Food Network at least occasionally. I watch it all the time lately, and I have to say, I think its actually a great channel for gainers to watch. Not just because we love food, though.

One thing I have noticed about Food Network, is it makes me hungry. If I sit around and watch Food Network for a bit, I  invariably end up much more hungry than I would have. Its something about seeing all the good and interesting foods, and it inspires me to both want to make something AND to eat. So not only do I end up hungry, but I want to try more interesting and different foods. Too often I think people rely on fast food and pizza to gain. Don't get me wrong, I love pizza as much as the next guy (and probably moreso) but its really sad to think that all these guys cramming down food out there aren't expanding their pallet as well as their waistlines. We're all guilty of this. Hell, lets face it, most gainers are really lazy, and if they can just order a burger instead of making something, well the choice seems obvious. But why just be okay with this?

I think I'm going to make it a goal to try cooking one completely new dish every 2 weeks, more if I can afford it (money is tight, or I'd try one new dish every week).

Blog 2.0

The New Blog Begins

Hey guys! It's been a bit again. I kind of want to revamp this blog and its purpose. Inspired by other blogs, I think it might be nifty to talk in general about stuff to do with the community, and not just post pictures every once in a while. Some other blogs talk about food, gaining tips, challenges, and generally being big in a world that wants you to be thin. Well I can do that kind of stuff here and more. So if you have any ideas for posts, or any questions that are more general about gaining or even about my experience, feel free to comment or send a message my way on any of the sites I'm on.

Hey guys,

Sorry it's been a while. I have been frequenting other sites and so you may have had updates on those (Beefyfrat, GG, My gainer myspace, etc).

So I'm around 202 lbs now. It feels pretty darn good aside from most of my clothes not fitting how I would like them to. Its amazing to look back and think of how skinny I used to be. But somehow I still don't feel that big yet. And I still don't eat that big, for my size(darn this small appetite). I'm getting used to my stretchmarks and I'm not sure if I like them or not. I was using a cream on them that's supposed to make them fade but Ive been kinda lazy about it. Let me know what you think.

I realized that I never ever get sick of pizza. What a perfect food! Each time I have visited home this year my parents order it because they know that I have mentioned I cant find a good pizza joint around school. Its great! i must have had it like 3 times during spring break and I just never get sick of it.

So I want to start posting on here again more often. But I got to know from you guys, my readers, what you want to hear and see and such. Let me know in comments, or shoot an IM my way.

That's all for now,

Elfstone
