IF and ONLY IF i'm being chased i could probably manage to wog away or at least try to. I'm not a great runner, all my jiggly puffs and what not start protesting loudly and then i can't walk for days on end and it's just not worth that kind of effort. ANDI

Hey Ruth, Yes I still use protein shakes on occassion. I work 10 hr days so i usually take a protein shake to work with me in the morning. I find on the 4 days that I work and because of the breaks and lunch times I have to or else I do not get enough protein in during those days. On my days I work I usually take a protein shake to work and I also stop and get a ham egg and cheese croussiant. The ham is lean and full of protein and so is the egg and cheese. I go into work at 10 am so my lunch is not until 3 pm and I will usually bring something from home or have a tuna wrap in the cafeteria. I usually bring some pretzels to munch on for a snack for early evening then I get out of work at 9pm and I come home and eat a light dinner. I find that going back to the basics of planning works best for me....on the days I dont plan....gee**** gets out of control. Trying to grab stuff here and there wondering if there is enough protein in it just doesnt seem to work for me. I try to stay below 30 grams of fat and below 80 on my carbs. I find on the days I do my protein shakes are the best for me as I am right up around 100 grams of protein on those days. Just hang in there. Kel

Much as I hate to do this, I thought I would enter the above into fitday to actually see what I was eating. I am really surprised by the figures as I thought yesterday I'd done really well on the protein, but would be way up on the calories due to the cake. Anyway, here is the info: Calories - 976 Fat - 32 Carbs - 106 Protein - 68 Those numbers are way off, and I realise I need to look at this seriously and re-think my eating. I am so surprised at this - I knew the carbs would be high, but I thought the protien would have been higher, plus the cals... Does anyone still use protein shakes? How else can I get more protein?

Sorry this is late - I was out visiting with a friend last night ~ Breakfast egg ham slice of toast Snack throughout the day TSP honey crunch Lunch chicken salad cream cake

Ugh...At least I know that my pouch has limits - I felt stuffed to the gills after this and sick as a dog (not from dumping though!) - if I could have made myself bring it back up it would have been gone...not eating that much again in a hurry - I learnt my lesson Dinner left over bacon & mushrooms in tomato sauce

Ya Trish - well done for you signing up. Ive started running - can manage a mile of combined running/walking, and would love to get to the point of being able to run without stopping. I'm so proud of both of you, and aspire to get to the same point as you Thanks for this post to keep me aiming for more... PS where do you sign up for races? Are they charity ones, or what?
