    Oooh, I recognize a costco run. Stupid question, how long does the asparugus last. I skipped buying it because there was a ton and some produces goes so bad so quickly...

    And you look like you've had great progress with your bulk.

    Asparagus can be very expensive, so when I see it on special offer I freeze it and use as required.

    Store it in cups of water. Lasts longer if you cut the ends off as well.


    OP, that's a lot of rice and Special K lol.
    I prefer Honey Nut Cherrios
    Also you look like a guy I went to college with =]

    That's 2 months apart? I don't think so.

    I read that as before 5 years- and after 5 years.
    -
    Definitely solid work.

    Shopping cart looks delicious- I need to start buying more salmon and learn how to fricking cook it- I pretty much eat chicken- chicken- chicken and baby dead chicken. and that's it.

    Also asparagus- how much did that run you? It's like 3.99 for a small bundle (which lasts me exactly one meal- and I'm sad)

    I LURV asparagus.

    Good work. I wish you luck. While I think it might be possible to add 9 pounds in two months, making it all lean mass will probably be difficult. I don't want to think of the time or the food required!

    You could add some weight in 2 months...but it won't be 9lbs of lean mass...it would be 7-8 or so lbs of fat and 1-2 ish lbs of lean mass (and honestly, I really doubt it would be that much) and that's if you are hitting it hard, with a great diet and good building program under you.

    You've been sculpting for 5 years already...gains will be slow....

    Curious about the asparugus price also. Here at the supermarket it's ridiculous at this time of year. 4.99 a pound. Last week it was 5.99 a pound. Just insane.

    its getting closer to asparagus season. its like late March to April for it to be cheaper.

    I <3 asparagus as well so I'm looking forward to it. it was rrrecently 2.99$/lb here in Maine so I snagged some

    and Jo, I'm so with you on the chicken thing. I'm making homemade fishsticks next week and steak. so sick of chicken haha

    yeah- i eat a lot of frozen veggies- it works better for my schedule and my life. I think one of the companies sells frozen asparagus- but I am a little scared to try it- its' expensive and every time I deviate from my normal "range" of veggies- I wind up disappointed and throwing stuff away. And asparagus seems like it would be like green peppers- better fresh.

    you know- lucky me- my BF dearest likes a lot of steak- and since he's only here once a week- and eats like a 5 year old in his spare time + cold cuts (I think I have brown sugar and cinnamon pop tarts on top of my fridge at this point- because of him!!! fortunately I don't really like poptarts- and they are up high so I didn't even notice them for a week but)- all that to say- he usually also wants to go out to eat- so usually once a week I get a reprieve from the chicken or ground turkey onslaught. We'll do a steak house one night- and then the local mexican place the other night.

    But yeah- I eat a lot of chicken- it's easy- and I'm boring. I don't mind it typically since I get a once a week really rich delux break with heavy butter ladden steaks... but I could stand to add some salmon- or something. Definitely.

    pictsweet does the frozen asparagus. its good. I've been doing frozen veggies more often because its winter, I'm lazy, and I've been skiing instead of food prepping

    Maybe that's who it is. I've tried their cracked peppercorn and "lightly seasoned" veggies before and it's just way to much for me. Despite the amount of butter I use regularly- their seasoned veggies are to much-and I think the asparagus is seasoned- which might be another reason I shied away. I'll look again.

    LOL_ was thinking of you the other day- I bought a heavier zip up jacket (heavier than a standard indoor working out number) at TJMaxx- I was taking off the tags last night and realized it was a running jacket. LOL. I'm trying so hard to be a none running runner.

    I do frozen 90% of the time I'd say. I like zucchini fresh- and my peppers fresh- but everything else is manageable frozen. Take the whole steamable bag in to work and just eat the whole thing. Apparently it's "rabbit food" lulz

    I don't like their peppercorn ones too much but the others I've tried are good.

    the asparagus is seasoned. Schzuwen or however it's spelled. it wasn't bad. I think there is a plain one tho...


    and AWWW you own an awful lot of running clothes now Jo! become one of us! =P

    I eat the whole bag/box as well lol
