Day 2: Weight Gain Saga

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

1/21

  • Iso Pure low carb whey protein shake with 2 scoops of protein, about 1.5 tbspn grass fed butter, 3 oz coconut milk (560 calories, 53g protein, 37g fat)
  • Chocolate Meal Bar (190 calories, 13g protein, 26g carbs, 6g fat)
  • 15 Oz Ribeye (grass fed) with the majority of the grizzle removed (900 calories, 0g carb, 100g protein, 55g fat)
  • Large chicken breast in tomato sauce, about 1 lbs (440 calories, 94g protein, 10g fat)
  • 2 double hamburgers from Shake Shack, each with 2 packets of Heinz Ketchup (1240 calories, 85g carb, 125g protein, 45g fat)
  • 6 vegetable fed free range organic eggs fried in butter (420 calories, 6g carb, 36g protein, 27g fat)
  • Protein shake (220 calories, 3g carb, 50g protein, 1g fat)

Calories – 3970

Protein – 468

It’s actually been surprisingly easy for me to keep shoving food into my body despite being full. I guess that comes with having not really experienced hunger since starting on a paleo diet November 1. I am not going to weigh myself until sometime next week, but despite the ridiculous quantities of food I have been eating, I haven’t really been shitting much out, so I’m pretty optimistic about the results.

Day 1: Weight Gain Saga

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

I have toyed with the idea of doing the Tim Ferriss geek to freak weight gain plan for a long time, but I have never actually committed myself to doing the eating required to get there. This week will be different.

I worked out last night, and ate a nice large meal of grass fed beef and some whole wheat pasta afterward, and starting today I intend to take things to the next level. Over the next 7 days, I am going to blog exactly what I ate over the course of the day. I weighed 143 lbs yesterday, which at 6’2” is very skinny. Here’s today’s consumption:

1/20

  • Iso Pure low carb whey protein shake with 2 scoops of protein, about 1.5 tbspn grass fed butter, 3 oz coconut milk (560 calories, 53g protein, 37g fat)
  • 15 Oz Ribeye (grass fed) with the majority of the grizzle removed (900 calories, 0g carb, 100g protein, 55g fat)
  • ½ a chicken, about 1 lbs, with about 1.5 tbspn grass fed butter (850 calories, 85g protein, 55g fat)
  • 2 double hamburgers from Shake Shack, each with 2 packets of Heinz Ketchup (1240 calories, 85g carb, 125g protein, 45g fat)
  • 6 vegetable fed free range organic eggs fried in butter (420 calories, 6g carb, 36g protein, 27g fat)
  • Protein shake (220 calories, 3g carb, 50g protein, 1g fat)

Tm Ferriss ate 8,000 calories a day when he put that weight on, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how. This is only 4190 calories! I guess he wasn’t kidding when he said that eating that much was a “full time job.”

Borrowed Game

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

As a man playing the game, sometimes you just need to borrow other people’s shit. I’m not super into using routines, but there are definitely one liners and various things that I do with girls that are in the can, and in no part of my game is this more true than when I’m texting. I got this one from Eric Disco this week, although I’m sure he got it from somewhere else. Anyway, you can see how he used it in his post here.

Hammer: You’ll never guess what happened to me last night

Sexy Blondie: Hey! What happened?

H: This gorgeous blond girl totally picked me up. She had some pretty good moves

SB: Ha she must have been one hot mama. I wonder if you’ll ever see her again?

H: I hope so, i was pretty smitten. She was so positive and had this infectious laugh. It’s too bad she was such a dork or we’d be eloping in vegas right now

SB: Haha! Wow, she sounds incredible… you should probably take her to dinner later this week ;)

H: Well i’m actually really busy this week but if she were free on wed night at 8:30 or a little after i would definitely be up for doing just that

SB: I think she d love that, and being that she’s such a dork she’s probably free!

(The rest of the conversation is just me making sure that she doesn’t have any diet problems with the restaurant that I picked and then me telling her where and when)

It was soooo on with this girl on last (Saturday) night. I don’t know exactly what happened, but it seemed like there was some emergency with her phone. Everything was going perfectly and I was sure I had the same night lay in the bag, but I told her to pull out her phone and then proceeded to call myself from her phone and then save myself in.

After doing that, she looked at her phone and realized she had a whole bunch of missed calls and text messages. I didn’t really get to talk to her much after that, and at some point she went outside and said she would be right back, but then never came back. I thought maybe I’d blown it by escalating too hard or something, but now I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the case. In the self help world, we’re very big on taking responsibility for everything that goes on around us, but the fact is that sometimes things are just out of our control. It looks like this was one of those times.

I’ll report back after we see each other Wednesday.

2010 New Years Resolutions

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Everyone seems to be posting their New Year’s resolutions, so I figured I would put mine out there so that I can hold myself accountable as well.

  1. Generate a second stream of income – I really need to figure out a way to make an extra $2000 a month, ideally without putting in too much extra effort. Even if I change jobs such that I make an extra 24 grand a year, I would still like a second stream of income that is independent of my day job, as this is step one on the lifestyle design journey.
  2. Fall in Love again – Obviously you can’t have a pickup blog that doesn’t at least involve one or two goals for ones love and sex life
  3. Reach my optimal AI – My shoulders are currently only 40” around, but the goal is to get them to 53” around by the end of December. I don’t know if I can put on this much weight in 12 months, but that’s the goal.
  4. Build a Blog Following – I would like to get my readership up, while maintaining the quality and loyalty of my readership. I envision a community similar to what Tim Ferriss has around his blog that includes people from all walks of life whom I ask questions and bounce ideas off of.
  5. Go skydiving – Pretty self explanatory, but this is something I’ve been meaning to do.
  6. Learn a Partner Dance Style – I am looking into Tango, Swing, Salsa, and a couple of others to decide which one I am interested in but I will learn some form of partner dance and ideally become a part of the subculture around it.
  7. Travel to another country – I’ve had a lot of trouble getting friends to drop the cash for an international vacation, but this year I am going to take an international trip whether it’s with a friend or solo.
