Why Protein?

I'm still a bit confused about why we need so much protein I've basically taken it for granted and just try to take as much as possible But I don't really understand it's importance This morning I made an awesome protein shake 1 Cup lite milk 1 tbs peanut butter 2 tbs protein powder Didn't realise it turned out to be a whopping 353 calories (34.8gms protein) Is this too much? I'm so confused!

Hello lovely ladies Sorry I'm a bit late at getting to this! First of all thankyou to three dolls who nominated me for the Stylish Blogger Award Thanks V @ The Babbling Bandit , Sam @ Banded for me & Kellie @ Something about Kellie "The rules of accepting this award are: Thank the person who gave you the award, reveal seven things about yourself, and nominate 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered or love. Then leave a comment on their blog letting them know they've been nominated.." Seven Things About Me: 1. I've never been in a relationship...really, really sucks! I'm hoping that with my new found confidence I'll be able to bag a nice Englishman on my European travels! 2. I used to be able to speak Japanese...I was actually at the top of my class at school. However since then I have had no reason to practice and barely remember any of it! 3. I'm addicted to TV. Seriously, I can sit there and watch TV shows 24/7...now I try and fit it into ...

Finally starting to enjoy exercise

After 22 years, I've finally started to look forward to exercising! This is a big thing for me I HATED any sort of physical activity I was the type of girl who would fake having my period every week to get out of gym class at school For my birthday, I asked my parents for two things... 1. The biggest loser wii game 2. A bodybugg or a similar kind of gadget See a pattern? Both are exercise related! I've been watching reruns of the biggest loser everyday and seeing those contestants get pushed to their limits has finally made me realise that just because I'm fat doesn't mean I'm going to have a heart attack and die from exercising! The biggest loser game is AH-MAZZZZIINGGGG! Seriously, I can't rave about it enough My body hates me right now and is hurting in places that I didn't even know existed =P I actually look forward to my workouts and it makes me sweat like crazy I just bought the bodymediafit armband and I'm so excited to start using it My only tas...

5 day pouch test

Well Day 2 of optifast was great In the past 2 days I've lost 1.4kg (3.08lbs) which I'm happy with At least it gave me the kick start I needed I am no longer craving junk food or snacks My current weight is 96kg That means this week I will need to lose 1kg to get to my birthday goal of 95kg Seems a lot more possible now I've been reading a lot about this 5 day pouch test Over xmas time I've been having problems with a lot of foods getting stuck and my initial reaction would be to go and vomit the food up But after reading about the 5DPT, I've realised that the uncomfortable feeling in your chest just means you're full? I still don't know for sure, but whenever I think I am stuck it's not as painful as everyone makes it out to be To me, being stuck is just feeling a bit tight and uncomfortable in my sternum area I wasn't planning on doing the pouch test but I'd already done 2 days optifast so why not give it a shot Day 3 is soft proteins: eggs, tu...
