New Stuff Afoot!

So I have had some very stressful past few days and managed to go over my calorie limit only one day (and only by 150 calories). It seems like the scale is finally taking a move in the right direction. I also have been noticing some development in my arm muscles since I have been resistance training the past few weeks.

I know that my biggest problem as a vegetarian is to get enough protein. So, for Gwynn's challenge I'm going to consume 1/3 my weight in grams of protein (ie 240 lbs = 80 grams). Building muscle brings about a higher metabolism and so on. I mainly plan to eat 1 Griller (vegetarian burger, 15 grams protein)  and 1 cup of cottage cheese per day (24 grams protain). They'll account for 25% of my caloric intake but give me 50% of my protein needed. Hopefully just my normal healthy diet will account for the rest. I don't know how much peanut butter I could eat to compliment it... and pb just has to many calories to eat on a regular basis.

Oh, and I actually got in a little trouble at work today. Apparently my managers have been noticing that I have lost enough weight that my clothes look baggy. I thought that they were a little baggy, but okay. Turns out that my clothes are so baggy that I may be violating dress code! This is kinda funny since these are the same pants and shirt (26 and mens 2XL respectively) that I bought as my "job interview clothes" that fit perfectly at the end of June. ::Does a little happy dance::

So, I guess I should buy new clothes again? Or maybe wait for one more size?
