B- half a protein bar (left over from last night's post workout snack)

MS- Nectar Lemonade Stand protein powder

L- Tuna packet

AS- Pure Protein Frosty Chocolate shake (12 oz can)

D- Roasted salmon and 3.5 oz glass of red wine

ES- if needed I'll add a little cottage cheese with protein powder

Last night I had a stress test at 5pm so since I was already dressed for exercise and at the fitness center /cardiac facility, I went ahead and ran on the outdoor (paved) walking path. I ran three laps which is about 3.75 miles! My average pace was a freakishly slow 17'30", but my heart was firmly in the "Vigorous" range the whole run (and in the max range going up hill) so I think that is good justification for my slow pace. I can start picking it up some and as long as I'm getting a good cardio workout know that I'm not totally slacking.

After I ran I changed into my swim suit but was so tired from the run that I ended up just spending time in the steam room stretching out my legs and lower back.

Today I biked to work (14m round trip). I wore my sleeveless blouse and a black knee length skirt, my jacket was in my bike bag. This worked as it was a cool 68 F, but my hair was once again a sweaty mess under that bike helmet It's also likely that I was flashing a little panty to anyone who looked closely but seriously any inflicted trauma was their own fault for looking, am I right? Once I'm at a weight closer to goal I'll invest in some bike shorts that I can wear under my skirts, until then LOOK AWAY!!!

I have TRIED to run several times in my life. Two of my sisters are runners, but I've never seemed to find my stride and it's always been a slow slow pace that's never been comfortable. This time I'm just doing it. I get passed by walkers all the time, but my HRM shows I'm in the "Vigorous" range so I figure I'm doing something!

Yes, I'm supposed to get between 70-100 g of protein per day. Over a week I'm averaging around 75g per day and 750 calories. I was undecided, but after reading this I'm going to up my Amazon subscription to two deliveries per month so I can at least have one per day. I also use protein powder, mixing it into my cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and I mix plain whey protein powder into my Mac n Cheese (made with Green beans (or zoodles or some other non starch) instead of pasta, with an added can of tuna).

OK so I just went to Amazon and upped my subscription for protein shakes :)

Thanks for starting M&M!!! I had a Busy day at work.

That made me feel good....... I'm sure your bad wasn't someone elses bad....LOL. I do so good for a few weeks and then I just need a few "bad" days to keep going. BAD is NOTHING like it use to be.....

Looks like a good Protein day today!!

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.

I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Morning LW's!!!! Thank you to Gina for starting MM yesterday!! Meeting my 9 yr. old granddaughter for lunch today. She's taking classes at the local college. Yesterday was Chef day. She loves to cook (something I hate to do).

I can't handle the fruit flavors. I did drink some of them earlier out but now they kindof nauseate my stomach. I did buy the Premiere Strawberry but I haven't tried it yet. I'm going to put it my Yetti cup with lots of ice. I needed a change.

I live in PA. Except for a couple weeks in the beginning I have NEVER regretted having WLS. It has been totally life changing for me. Definitely keep us posted!!!
