A whole week of work!

Wow, it's been a long time since I worked 5 days in a row. The first few days were rough and I had to leave early to go home and take a nap. But on Wednesday, I went to the van and took a nap at lunch time. I came back refreshed and stayed until 5pm. So I did the same thing on Thursday and Friday.

Unfortunately, I did not make it to the Y at all this week. I also did not go to yoga. I need more energy so I can work and exercise. My problem is PROTEIN.

I am only getting 30 -40 grams each day and what I need it 60. I did get some meal replacement packets - 8oz with 27 grams of protein. They don't taste great but...

I have also discovered Greek yogurt. It has twice the protein as regular yogurt. It is thicker and tarter than, say Yoplait but again the protein is what's important.

Today I had to go to a memorial service so I put on my basic black slacks. They are a Lane Bryant size 18. I was swimming in them. Luckily my sister has been staying with us and had a pair of size 14 pants that I could borrow. Even they were a little loose.

I wanted to put off buying clothes but I think I need to get a couple of pairs of jeans for work. And I definitely need some new bras. But I think I will be conservative on how much I buy - I want to save for a huge spree when I reach my goal weight.
