Now that's a Costco haul. Enough grass-fed meat to last me...well, I don't know. A while.

I haven't taken the time to jot down the measures I'm taking during this weight gain phase that differ from how I've approached gaining before, but I think it's worth noting.

* Goal is to no longer stuff myself with reckless abandon on anything and everything. It's fine to not be on the verge of puking after every meal. I'm no longer a lanky 18-year-old and don't NEED that approach to put on weight, it's easy enough falling short of that.

* Making more of an effort to increase food quality. Grass-fed beef, bison, grass-fed lamb, organic veggies. In fact, I eat bison now much more than I eat beef. Less junk like greasy pizza or burgers. 

*Still allow for dessert here and there but not every meal.

* I don't make an effort to eat carbs late in the day. If they're already in what I'm eating then fine but the trend is lower carbs at night. This is something I'd like to be more strict about actually.

On that note, I recently discovered that the Safeway by my house has good deals on grass-fed lamb, and is competitive with other stores like Costco for bison and beef. I don't usually shop at Safeway so this was a nice find.

* Had to lie down after this one. Right hip was doing the usual bitching and left knee started to ache by the time I dropped down to 140. All better the next day.
