From the reading that I have been doing the last few days, I think I need to start increasing my protein intake. Apparently, a man my size should be consuming at least 150 grams of protein a day, and since I am trying to build muscle, it should probably be more like 200. So I am going to start paying close attention to the amount of protein I eat per day, and try to keep it around 150-200 grams per day.

I have been in a plateau all this week. I am not going to let it frustrate me though. Even though I am friggin’ tired of being fat, and really want to lose quickly, I understand that it isn’t going to happen all at once. I am going to keep on keeping on, and continue doing what I know is good for me. Even if it takes another month to drop another 10 pounds, I can’t quit. I want to lose weight and get healthy more than I have ever wanted anything in my life. If I quit now, I will just be setting myself up for failure in the future.

that’s all for now.

later,

Dan
