You would think that I would have learned to take a Benadryl the night I watch the Walking Dead so that I won't be up all night thinking about the show, but I don't.
I've been pretty strict with my diet using an app. 1300 calories total intake- which ends up being like 1800 calories or so after you throw in my workout for the day. no candy or cookies or chips or empty calories- veggies and protein.
Anyways, I was feeling all good to have reached 145 because I've made this mental decision that 145 is my new pre-pregnancy 140 pounds because I have a ton more muscle now. Insert eye roll now... I don't have a ton more muscle to weigh more. I might be more tone now, but when I went to try on my size 8 pants that I fit when I'm 140, they only fit when I was standing. False sense of security. By the time I put the boy's shoes on, sat on the couch to cuddle and bent over to put on their jackets, they were cutting into me so badly, it was making me like crawling out of my skin. and I was angry at myself for being disillusioned with myself. So, I ran back to the bedroom to get old faithful size 10 black pants.
Dear post pregnancy body,
I know I've put you through a lot. and I know we work very well together getting stronger. and I will forgive you for the sometimes multiple times I have to stop working out to pee. Beckett is now 18 months... and I have pants that I can not wear (at least comfortably). And this is just one little victory that I would like to win. I want to be able to wake up, and put on pants without any form of elastic in the waist, and be able to utter a sigh of contentment for the perfect fit. I'm not asking for a size 0. Heck, I don't even want a size 6. I want a size 8....
Here are my protein sources:
eggs (scrambled or hard boiled)
muscle milk light shakes
premier protein bars
blackbean burgers
cottage cheese
light and fit greek yogurt
Kasha protein cereral
also have had in the past two weekends- black beans, split peas, tofu, slices of cheddar cheese, gouda
veggies- lots of salad, just a tablespoon of whatever dressing, steamed broccoli, whatever veggies Jeremy sautees up for dinner

Okay, I've gotta' do a plug for About Time Whey Protein Isolate powder. It doesn't taste half bad, has 25g of protein, 0 sugar (sweetened w/ stevia), and usually only has an average of 5 ingredients, depending on the flavor. I'm partial to Mocha Mint. :)

I usually find the best prices on Amazon. But you've got this! I'll try to do some workouts with you when I come for Thanksgiving! :P
is it mixed with milk?
Cheerios have a protein version now, Tastes the same to me but my protein level is up when they do my monthly check
