Stressed Out

I can't wait for Saturday 7 Jan 2017 to be over and done with. I was asked to be the chairperson for the Veterans of Foreign Wars Voice of Democracy for the 4th District in the Department of Michigan. The original chairperson had done the event for years and had everything electronically. Over the past couple oars, this person had quit many times and was always begged to reconsider and do the event. This year after he quit, he was not asked to reconsider and he got mad an deleted everything that he had electronically. I had to redo the program/ad book from scratch, redo the certificates, the seating chart, the student bios and the winning plaques. This is a job for someone who is retired and has extra time. I am under so much stress to get this event done and done correctly. The event is Saturday night and I can not wait for it to be done and over with. Oh and on top of vent, I am campaigning for a State Level VFW position that requires me to travel all over the State of Michigan. I seriously think that all this stress is why I am currently at a stall. Oh well, I guess it is my fault since I am the stupid one who said that I would do it. People know I never say no so they use that to get me to do whatever they need done. Next year I am going a step back from the VFW (unless I win the State Level Position) and let other people step up.

Sorry, I just realized that I didn't start this post in rants.

Sometimes you just have to say NO when someone wants you to volunteer. I do it quite often. I pick and choose. You probably don't need the added stress after undergoing surgery a few months ago and having to comply to the detailed regiment of post-op requirements.

One thing to do now at this stage is to assess your Protein intake. Your protein requirement is met by a combination of the protein from your meals combined with the protein from your supplements (Protein shakes, protein bars). Since your meal volume is beginning to increase, that also means that the amount of protein from meals is increasing, especially if you concentrate on consuming high protein meals. Therefore you could be able to reduce your reliance on supplements and the calories they contain. I went from 3 protein shakes a day, down to 2, then 1 and finally zero when my meal volume increased to 1 cup per meal at a year and a half. This was the method I used to break my stalls.
