So I'm thinking of trying to do another dinner get together possibly around August 20th here in Edmonton. I'm thinking Indian buffet (I've got a place in mind that isn't too expensive). Drop me an e-mail at roundboy123456@yahoo.ca if you're interested in coming.
In other news: after not doing much to actively gain for the last little while, I find myself wanting to strap the feed bag back on.
While at work I stepped on that giant scale at work again - managed to tip it to 96 kg (211 lbs) but only because I was wearing heavy work boots and holding a jug of water. Got me thinking that it's time to actually break the 210 pound threshold. I'm close now but it seems somehow symbolic to be able to get there...without the work boots on!

8 July 2014
Yes, I know it's been a month since my last post...
I've been away for a good part of it for work related reasons I won't bore you with. One of the upshots was that I was able to attend World Pride in Toronto and got to march in the parade. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I really enjoyed it. Well, most of it. The 42 degree Celsius humidex...not so much. Not to sound like a drama queen but I really felt closer to death by the end of the parade than I have in a long, long time. The whole thing took hours to do, I stupidly hadn't thought to pack enough water, and there weren't any options for getting more on the parade route. But I survived, had a blast overall, and met a number of really awesome people (none of them gainers as far as I know but more than a few bears).
I kept my calories up by eating a number of strange things (some of which I'm pretty sure now weren't gluten free though they were advertised as such) and although I have no gains to report, I didn't backslide either.
And...today I was the recipient of a large amount of high end (read: expensive) gluten free food from a neighbour whose kid works at a warehouse that carries this stuff. They were getting rid of some stale dated inventory and I ended up with half a freezer full of some very, very nice stuff...so...yay!
And to Anonymous: I may just try this approach of dedicating one day a week to having extra and then just maintaining for the rest of the week. I'll let you know how it goes...
