What are all of you eating to get your protein in?  And, what is your daily carb count looking like?  I'm just looking for ideas...not having the best day with protein.

Thanks!

I don't know about you guys, but I am seriously over the whole protein drink thing. I just can't stomach them anymore. They're too thick, and the vanilla/chocolate/strawberry thing has gotten old really fast. I've never been overly fond of sweet drinks, and I feel like that's all I've been drinking lately.

So the last time I was in GNC, I picked up a small bag of the GNC brand unflavored protein powder. I'm sure there's better one's out there, but it was the cheapest option for something I wasn't sure I'd like.

I opened it up last night, and tried it. First, I mixed it with some water so that I could see what the true flavor is. It's not great, but not gross either. With water, it tastes kinda wheaty/nutty. So now I know that I can mix it into pretty much anything that would benefit/blend with a wheaty/nutty flavor. And it's not a strong flavor, so I might be able to sneak it into really strong flavored things unnoticed.

I haven't tried it in a lot of things yet...I'll get there. But just now I mixed half a scoop into 8 oz of milk...OMG YUM! It tastes kinda like the milk left over after you eat cereal. I LOVE cereal milk, so this is a major winner for me. So now instead of 8g of protein in my 8oz of milk, I'll get 18.5g (21g of protein per scoop, but only used half a scoop).

Milk goes down easier than water for me (weird, I know), so I'm super excited about this extra boost of protein. I'm going to keep trying out my unflavored protein powder in lots of things, and I'll post those results as well.

Cathi way to go I havent measured but will. All I know is I dont look 9 months pregnant anymore hehehe.My apron is smaller if you know what I mean.Keep up the good workwalked10.5 miles this week . The scales get me out of the bed in am but I am down to weighing only once a day  

I did a quick measurement of my waist and hips last night, and I've lost 2 inches off each!!! This is wonderful news considering I didn't lose any weight (according to the scale) last week.

If you haven't taken your measurements yet, DO IT. It will be great encouragement when the scale stops moving to be able to compare those inches lost to show that you ARE making progress.
