Weight gain 4000!!! BEEFCAKE!

Greetings!

It has certainly been a while.

This blog is going to be about something a little different to what I 'usually' write about.

Summer is here! I have a massive pile of work still to do, but I had my last day of lectures today. I'm officially a 3rd year. My, how the time has flown. I'm convinced I'm still getting into my stride with this degree stuff...

So, one of our course-mates is leaving the course to go to uni in Chester for her 3rd year (ironic...) and we had a leaving meal for her last night. We were at an all you can eat chinese/thai/indian restaurant, and I actually ate 3 platefuls, which was amazing, considering how little I eat from other cultures. Had piles of noodles, rice and spicy lamb...stuff. Slowly but surely my palette is developing.

Anyway, during this meal someone mentioned they needed to lose weight...a topic that must regularly come up at all you can eat restaurants. This was echo'd by the majority of folks round the table. And so the challenge was set, lose a stone over the summer. Not to be left out, myself and a couple of other 'less porky' lads said we should be on to gain a stone over summer.

Weigh in was this morning. I weigh just under 9 stone (meaning i've lost half a stone somewhere in the last year and a half). I am way way waaaay too small. So my mission over summer...on top of the whole trying to complete the mass of work i have left to do: Reach 10 stone by September 7th.


Many people will know I have a retarded fast metabolism and this weight gain could be easier said than done, so if you have tips for piling on the pounds I'd love to hear them!

As for EVERYTHING else going on...well, I'll write again shortly.

For now, enjoy the sun. Love & grace to you, and sorry to those who've told me they like reading this stuff, I've been pretty non-existent for a while!

Peace!

Good morning. Literally.

It's 6am. Today is the third day in a row I've sat in the east facing room next to mine and watched the sun rise and explode over the trees and in through the window. It's one of the very few things that gives me a sense of majesty and wonder lately. 


Sometime soon maybe that light will brighten up a few other things that are being kept in the shade right now. I'd like that.  


Until then, I'll sit and watch the 5am sunrise and be thankful I have been blessed with the emotion to hope.
