Notes: Today was another bad pain day for me, but at night I took some pain medication and was able to work through 20 minutes of Zumba in my living room. Also, I have been concerned about my extremely high protein intake. I have always been told that protein is SO good for you, but for some reason a red light was going off in my head every time I saw that I was 20g or more over my recommended daily protein allowance. So, I decided to do some research. It turns out that something like 70% of the population overeat protein AND for dieters it's actually bad, because apparently proteins are the hardest foods to metabolize!! So, this COULD be why I'm not having the kind of results I would like. So I'm adding a new goal to my list, and that is to watch my protein intake. I'm going to TRY to not go over my recommended allowance each day, at the very MOST 5g over. The fact that I've been going over my limit by the 10's is making me nervous!
