Claire: Day 23- better plan!

My brother Brian is a personal trainer, I asked about why I was gaining weight after doing an intense workout and he helped me out. Oddly enough, he never answered my question, but oh well. Instead he took a gander at what I was eating and what I've been doing for exercise. Surprise, surprise, I haven't been getting enough protein in. He also helped me look more closely at the nutritional labels too. A few of the foods I eat regularly are high in carbs, which isn't necessarily a bad thing- I need carbs just like anyone else, the problem is that most of the carbs are coming from sugar. And on top of that, I wasn't getting protein in all of my meals which is part of my problem.

I'm glad he can help! Hopefully now with a better handle on my nutrition and armed with a new workout plan things will get going.

Food: cereal w/soymilk, ser. of wheat thins, pbj sandwich, light peach yogurt, apple and baby carrots, 2 eggs, and a ser. of vegetable lentil soup.
Calories: 1222
Water: maybe 8... I can FEEL that I need more.
Vitamin: no, again.
Exercise: 3 sets of 7 normal push-ups, 3 sets of 10 knee push-ups, 4 sets of 15 low row, high rows, rack pulls. Walked 1.2 miles, ran 2.2 miles.
