Stalled

It's been almost 3 weeks and I'm still stuck bouncing around between 214 and 215. I knew this would happen eventually. My frustration level is still getting higher. This week, I am trying to consume more calories to see if that will get things moving.

This morning, I had my usual chocolate Premier protein shake. That comes in at 160 calories and 30 grams of protein.

I packed a cute bento box for lunch today. It has 2.5 ounces turkey breast from the deli, 0.5 ounces sharp cheddar from the deli, 3 lettuce leaves and a boiled egg. That nets me around 200 calories and 25 grams of protein.

I have half of a QUEST protein bar for a snack for 90 calories and 10 grams of protein. Sidebar about these Quest protein bars, they are pretty awesome. I tried them before surgery and thought they were just okay. Now, I think they taste pretty good. I have tried cookies and cream, chocolate chip cookie dough, and s'mores so far. All 3 have been tasty. I have seen that you can cut them up and bake them, so they are more like cookies. Sounds like something great to try to me!

Today is a weight lifting day, but I plan to work on my 5k training as well. I have not been doing as well with that as I hoped. I don't want to disappoint my sister since she's training for it as well. I know I will be able to finish the whole thing, its just a matter of how long it will take. I am trying to convince my cousin to sign up to do another one with me in November.

Hopefully my stall will break soon. If the increased calories don't do it this week, I will try something different next week. I would still like to get under 200 before my next nutritionist appointment, but it's starting to seem less likely.
