Nikina70's Journal, 02 Nov 21

This evening I got up from watching crap on YouTube after a long day of work and did: Penny Barnshaw - Garage Fitness Girl - Full Body STANDING Dumbbell Strength Workout | No Up & Down! No Jumping!

My first evening workout in a long while. I thought since I'd had a hearty pasta dish for dinner that I'd feel more 'strong', but alas - I only lasted 40 minutes and then went straight to the cool down. A bit disappointed in myself, but sometimes our bodies just don't co-operate as we want them to. Feeling quite tired now so hope this will mean some solid sleep tonight so I can get up early and crack on with my work deadlines for the week. I would hopefully do another workout on Thursday evening then. That means I'll have to do two on the weekend, but we'll see how it goes.

Being two hours behind my South African clients since Sunday's time change means I have to be ready for work early than before - so no time to workout as I have no intention of getting up at 5am. It does technically mean that my work day would end at 3pm though, so I should be able to fit in an hour walk before dinner (and darkness). I can then make my evening workout time 8pm I think, followed by a hot shower and reading before trying to sleep at 10pm. Then I'll try to wake up at 6:30, which I kind of do already.

IF didn't go as planned as hubby decided to make his lentil vegetable soup for lunch so I have to partake - it's that good! I still wanted my protein powder with oats or cereal for breakfast though so bye-bye IF for this week. All good though as I've kept my calories vaguely in check so far. I might try it again next week.

Anyhoo - Wednesday tomorrow - hang in there folks!

I need more protein in my daily diet ~ do you mix the powder with the oats and then cook them? Bravo for working out 🏋️‍♀️

Thanks Cammy Jo! I usually just cook them in the microwave for 2 minutes. Something I learned is to cook it in a large mixing bowl to avoid it exploding 🤣. I sometimes add the protein powder before, but usually stir it in afterwards. It can be a bit lumpy, but with added fruit and cereal the texture doesn't bother me. I use vegan protein powder.

Thank you so much ~ I will try this and use a big bowl too, ha. I’m a vegetarian and a nutritionist recommends that I get 75 to 90 grams of protein a day. I have a hard time reaching that goal, so the protein powder will help. 🤗
