abbadabba's Journal, 23 May 2018

I found the keys! Dropped off stuff and cleaned out my car.
Holding steady! Still need to add water! Learning as I go. Smoothie lasts all morning and I increased the volume by adding water! See how I tricked myself? Forgot my excellent eggs today but will have them tomorrow, and just have the leftover salad and tuna from yesterday for lunch. I put mint in my smoothie this morning so it's like a beautiful dessert instead of just breakfast.
Gym time tonight! I should get a routine printed out before I go for upper body strength training so I don't wander around the gym doing random exercises for half an hour. Fired my trainer, so I really need to start keeping track of my progress and make sure that it is progressing.
I could possibly get into the 150's by June. Taking some advice to heart: 92 year old eats salads and proteins and brown rice each day - small portions, well-seasoned. 80 year old lifts weight daily, teaches dancing, and eats 5 cups of fruits and vegetables a day.
Also a little research reveals that the recommended protein for me is based on Kilograms of weight, not pounds - so hitting 70 grams a day is all I really need.
Happy Hump day! Half way to the weekend for me!
163.4 lb Lost so far: 19.6 lb.    Still to go: 22.4 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Happy hump day, Abbadabba. Websites vary as to how much protein you need. I'm beginning to think nobody knows! I aim for around 50 to 60 grams a day 🙂

Abbadabba- I've been pleased with using the "Strong" app, if you feel like keeping track of your exercises and progress using an app on your phone. Your methodical attention to detail is quite inspirational, BTW.

@Doobrie - I was calculating based on what I weigh now, I suspect 50 or 60 will be fine when I am as skinny as you! Thank you @TomLong tracking keeps me busy! And helps if I look back.
