Drinking protein powder shakes for breakfast really is a game changer!!!
I used to eat oatmeal or eggs for breakfast at 7am, but would always be ravenous and snacking after 10am and it's so easy to buy a muffin or some other delicious and carb-y treat from my university's cafes.
Now I mix 2-3 scoops of Designer Whey protein powder with either 500mL of unsweetened coconut milk or 750mL of water, and I can carry this in my water bottle and drink it throughout my morning classes! I feel full the whole morning, and also much more energetic and alert, which is essential in my anatomy, chemistry, medical biostatistics, and molecular cell biology classes.
I need to find a way to motivate myself to go the gym though. I have moderate social anxiety, so it's difficult for me to go to the gym when it's very crowded and full of very physically fit people. I am starting a weekly yoga class next week though, and have been considering going back to playing rugby.
Regardless, I've been improving so much on my eating since joining this website! Food logging really does make you pause and reconsider your eating choices. I haven't been able to weigh myself since New Year's, but I feel like I've made some progress in losing weight. Do you guys ever have really good "face" or "body" days? When you look at yourself in the mirror and are pleasantly surprised at your reflection? I suppose it's about inner confidence. And this site has really helped me with that! :)
