Yeah, you heard me. I mixed a little Flavor Flav in my transformation. That’s what too much Surreal Life and Flavor of Love will do to you.

Today I’m actually going to rest. I have so much energy from working out all this week that I almost feel like I can’t stop, and maybe I should cool it out if I actually want to gain some weight. I spent an hour dancing to reggae last night, and have taken to just moving around all day long when I used to crash on the couch. Although I did eat a lot more than I have been yesterday, I probably burned it all off. So yesterday I did some strength training and an ab video, then called it a day. I’m tempted to do Billy’s Boot Camp again today. I have to say, I have NEVER been this into working out, or felt so good once I started working out again.

Now, I am going to make a conscious effort to stop looking at my butt and analyzing just how small it’s gotten. Rome wasn’t built in a day. I can’t keep looking at that thing every day and mourning it’s former apple bottom status. This will get me nowhere. I have decided instead to pay more attention to the fact that my shirts fit again. I do need to take actual steps to gain weight, so I did a little nosing around. This article recommends:

If you’re trying to gain weight, eat a well-balanced diet that includes:

Whole grains
Vegetables and fruits
Low-fat dairy products
Lean protein sources, such as fish, poultry, beans and legumes
You’ll likely need to add some fats and sugars to your diet for extra calories. When you add fats, choose unsaturated fats, such as nuts and oils. When adding sugars, select sweets that also provide nutrients, such as bran muffins, yogurt, fruit pies or juice, and granola bars.

This works for me, because I have smoothie stuff and apple juice in my fridge, a decent recipe for bran muffins that I can whip up sometime today, and there are granola bars in my pantry. And just what do they mean by “fruit pies”? Does that mean I should devour an entire apple pie? Because I can totally do that.

I found some….er, interesting *ahem* links when searching “get a bigger butt”. Had a few laughs, but I won’t post anything here. I wouldn’t want you pulling that up on your work computer, even if they are relatively safe for work. Let’s just not go there. Although I am extremely tempted to buy one of those fake butt panties just to laugh over. There are men and women’s versions. Oh, to have a conversation with a guy who bought a pair for himself…sigh. Now that would be entertainment.

So as for today? Rest! Eat! And eat some more!!
