Yesterday was just bad. Blah. I'm over it!

 

Anyway, today I got up super early (thanks in part to the crack of lightning and thunder just outside!) and went to the gym! I did about 30 minutes on the treadmill before the Zumba class started. Then joined the class for the first time. It was fun! Though I didn't pick up all the choreography, but maybe next time I will. It's DEFINITELY a workout! Took a shower at the gym because I just felt gross! Haha!

 

On the way home I got a call from my corporate office. They have my headshot on file from last year and wanted to know if they should use that one or a new one for the awards ceremony this year. I said use that one because I don't feel like getting a new portrait taken! Ha! Last year's was nice and I don't need another official headshot until I lose about 50 pounds. :thumbup: Besides, that one has already been retouched. LOL

 

I think I've already had my recommended protein for the day! I had a protein shake for breakfast before I ran out the door. Then a protein "shot" -grape flavor!- after I worked out. Then I had some greek yogurt. That's 57 grams of protein so far today. Can you have too much protein??? I really am wondering that.

 

Thankful for a better day today and hoping it continues!

 

xoxo

    I was told 70 to 80 grams of protein a day from the nutritionist. I bought this flavorless protein (but to me tastes like creamora) and add it to soup or yogurt to fit more in other than shakes for muscle milk.

    I was told 60-80 grams as well. I normally hit a protein shake for breakfast and a protein bar mid morning which gets me to 50 and leave the rest to chance.

    Glad you had a better day! I too was told 60-80 gms of protein per day. Doesn't seem to be an issue fitting it in most days, either.
