arrrggg. . . protein
SO confession. As a single 22 year old I don’t eat a lot of protein. I just don’t. It’s not easy and on hand. It takes a little extra effort to prepare. I’m really bad about meat, but it’s everything in reality. I also know as a long distance runner I have a been taught to be a little bit of a carboholic.
Last night when I was babysitting I brought women health to read. I picked up the magazine cause Carrie Underwood was on the cover. I love her personality and I think her body is amazing. Plus I like that she lost the weight she put on in college and during idol in a healthy way (she writes down what she eats and talks about how much she loves mexican and pizza from time to time). Basically I just like that she is real with her weight loss and health.
anyway. . . . I also read an article on Protein. That article stated that women who increase their protein intake by 30% lost an average of 14 lbs. While I’m not in the market to loose 14lbs I am always in the market to lean up.
