I've been noticing that my strength has decreased over the class couple weeks...not a lot but some. And the 'Fat Boy' weigh-in shows that I have dropped some muscle mass. So I was thinking that maybe I'm not consuming enough protein. I started adding some in the mornings but I ONLY do it after my upper body lifting workouts. So I might get one or two extra high protein meals per week. That's probably not enough. Then I went back and reviewed what I have been eating lately and I'm not getting near enough protein.

So starting today I'm adding a protein shake to my morning routine (post workout). I'll do this on ALL workout days, even cardio days. I have a big tub of 'Complete Protein', a bunch of bananas, and a blender...and I'm not afraid to use them.

Took my GPS with me on my walk to see just how far I was going...5 miles. I thought it was longer. But still, not bad.
