Short post today:
Progress on goal - I kept to the no dairy/wheat/sugar. Since I worked out at boating practice yesterday, I was feeling sore today. A teammate said to drink a protein shake to help muscles recover faster. Starbucks serves protein shakes, but they're made of whey protein which is dairy. So I went to a smoothie shop that offered soy protein - I got it with pineapples, raspberries and banana.
The problem is that they also have to make it with ice. I didn't like that idea but bought it anyway. I regretted it because I learned that there was only 5 grams of soy protein in the shake. But mainly because I didn't want to drink anything cold. I've been following Maria Menounos's advice about drinking hot water. I drank hot water all day yesterday and this morning too and felt great! I felt thinner (I also ate a low-glycemic dinner last night). About an hour after drinking the shake, I felt like my chub around my waist expanded! I also didn't feel as peaceful as I had when I was drinking only hot water.
I did pick up from that smoothie place a packet of Vanilla Spiru-Protein powder which includes 14 grams of soy protein. I'll buy some unsweetened soy milk later this week to mix with it. I will go to boating practice this Wed so I can drink it on Thurs.
Tomorrow is going to be really busy. Convention week which I'm psyched for! Will post more later!
Didn't weigh myself so here's just what I ate today:
Breakfast - 2 apples & grapefruit & a few blueberries
Lunch - protein shake
Dinner - salad with grilled chicken
* Supplements: Iron, Vit D, Airborne, Calcium
Wake up: 6:10am
Going to sleep: 11:45pm
Exercise: 20 min Pilates dvd (though from now on I'll take Sundays off from exercising to keep the Sabbath - I wish that I had just walked my dog & cat around the neighborhood this morning instead)
