What 148!!!!, Still gaining!

Last night I got home from dinner and saw that I am now 148, Ive never seen 148 before.  You know I was excited.  I never thought I would get to 148 from eating sushi and salad lol.  This morning when I woke up I was 146.  So my new weight range is 146-148, in order to maintain this and/or continue to gain I have to keep up with my increased eating habits.  NOW ONLY 2 LBS AWAY FROM 150!!!

I figured I would give yall another food diary.  Please remember I do not have a consistent diet and I do not eat the same meals everyday.  I decide what I will eat based on what I am craving at the moment. 

Breakfast:

Frosted Flakes cereal w/ Lactaid Milk - 170
Water

Total: 170

Lunch:

Grilled Cheese Sandwich - 300
Baked Potato w/ Butter and Sour Cream - 380
Clif Builder's 20g Protein Bar - 270
Sweet Tea - 100

Total: 1040


Dinner: (not even going to try to add the calories b/c I have no idea how many calories are in my dinner)

Thai Salad
Sushimi and Sushi Combo
Dragon Roll
Dr Pepper





Late Night Snack:

3 CVS Liquid Nutrition Plus - 350*3 = 1050
Sweet Tea - 100

Weight Gain update -- Trying something new

I am currently 144-147 lbs, height is 5'5"

About 3 days ago I started trying something new, in addition to what I am already doing.  2-4 CVS Liquid Nutritional Supplements will always be a staple to my weight gain journey.  But lately I have also added eating 1-2 Clif Builder's Protein Bars (in chocolate) to the mix.  Supplements almost never taste good, and this one actually does.  This was specifically made for body builders and I am clearly not that.  I mainly paid attention to the amount of calories it has to offer and the nutritional value.  These chocolate bars have 270 calories, 20 g of protein, 70 fat calories, no trans fat, 23 vitamins and minerals.  I found this to be a perfect addition because I always have a major sweet tooth.  There are days I wake up immediately craving either cotton candy or an almond Hershey bar.  Not healthy at all.  Other days I wake up with no appetite at first so I just need something quick to get down.  These bars are perfect for both occasions.  This is my very first nutritional supplement that I have ever tasted that I actually enjoy eating.  So I typically have one in the morning before my breakfast or if I have no appetite for breakfast I will just eat that alone until lunch.  I will also sometimes have it as part of my desert as well. 

Below will be a random food journal from yesterday so you can see how I incorporate the supplements I take into my diet.  But do know what I eat changes everyday so yesterday isn't necessarily typical because every day is fairly different for me.

Breakfast:
Clif Builder's Protein Bar (I wasn't hungry so this is all I ate, when I am hungry I will eat it in addition to cereal or whatever I eat for breakfast) - 270
2 Caprisun Wild Cherry - 60 * 2
Total: 390 Calories (great considering I did not have a real breakfast)

Lunch:
Wendy 1/4lb cheeseburger - 552
small Dr pepper - 140
** I also bought a baked potato but I did not eat it :/
Total: 692

Dinner:
2 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches - 300 * 2
2 Caprisun Wild Cherry - 60 * 2
Total:  720

Desert/ Late Night Snack:
** I had been eating icecream all week but I ran out
Clif Builder's Protien Bar - 270
2 CVS Liquid Nutrional Supplements PLUS - 350 * 2
Water - 0
Total: 970 (yes 970 calories just from supplements!!!!)

Grand Total from the entire day: 2772 Calories (when I am trying to gain and/or maintain over 140 lbs I have to get in at least 2000-2500 calories a day.



More info on Clif Builder's Protein Bars: (no I am not sponsored, I found and bought them myself at Target for about $4 for a pack of 6 bars)

270 Calories per bar

Weight Journey Update

Right Now I am 136-138 lbs.  Which is right below where I like to be (140 lbs).  Of course I would love to be 140 if not 10-15 lbs more then that.  But I feel good when I am at least 140lbs.  So right now my journey consists of 3 main things.  2-3 LIQUID NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS A DAY, 3 MACA ROOT CAPSULES, AND MASHED POTATOES W/ GRAVY EVERY OTHER NIGHT.  Of course I also try to eat at least 2 meals a day, I usually snack on Thin Mints or Oreos, and for breakfast I usually have Oatmeal. 



--- Liquid Nutritional Supplements yall know is the #1 thing I attribute my weight gain to when ever I do gain weight, but ive been slacking on drinking them lately.
--- Maca Root Capsules I have read is supposed to make your booty more plump when using it along with doing booty exercises but I have only been using it for less then a week now, so we will see how that goes
--- Mashed Potatoes w/ Gravy,  haha Idk I always eat a plate full of mashed potatoes piled high when I am trying to gain weight, and it works I promise :)

Talking about weight and making updates motivates me, so hopefully now that I am back to talking about it more I will stick to what I need to do to maintain and gain.

So I will keep you updated, Love Yall
