Day Ten (Week Two)

I find myself consuming less and less in energy without really thinking about it. Day 9 was only 8,266 Kjs and 20 gms fat (I know, I forgot to blog it) and today is low again. Actually, day 10 could have been a bit lower, but I had two glasses of wine. I only had the two glasses of wine because I knew I was so much under my daily target of 10,500 Kjs - I am not sure whether I should feel guilty about that or not. Time - in particular 2.5 weeks time, which is what is remaining in the month - my skinny pants and weight will tell.

The down side is that my protein intake is down. My target is 70 grams of protein a day and these low joule days have coincided with very low protein days (about 50 grams). I am concerned this willl have an impact on muscle retention, so if the trend continues this week, I will up the protein ante next week.
