Cycle 3 Day 12

Had aches pretty consistently all day long from waking up onwards. About a 5 or 6/10.

Went to gym today and spoke with the trainer and he gave me some tips about protein. So apparently if you want to try and put on weight, you should eat 1.8-2 grams of protein per kg of body fat. This means that for someone my weight (50kgs) I should be aiming to eat 100g of protein per day. Now, that is the upper limit. After that my body won't really be able to absorb any more. He also told me that your body can't absorb much more than 30g of protein in one sitting, particularly if you are small like me. So I need to stage the protein throughout the day.
So I'm thinking of upping my protein shakes to 3 per day, one before breakfast, one in afternoon, and one before bed. My protein shakes from memory give me about 20grams of protein. So three of them is 60g, plus I generally eat salmon for lunch which is about 20grams and would easily eat 20 grams for dinner. Maybe I'll just take 2.5 protein shakes per day. Because I guess adding in breakfast and snacks I probably consume another 10-15grams.

Anyhow, I thought that was quite interesting.

So did all my weights exercises today, then I was feeling my breasts afterwards (as you do!), and they felt much wider, but much smaller too. So I measured and only got 31". So not sure if it was the exercise which made them shrink, or it could be that it is freezing today and my breasts were covered in goosebumps.

Anyhow, funny how much they fluctuate in size. I think I will only be able to say I have true-ly grown when I measure 31.5" or 32" on day 5 of my cycle. Because I have never measured anywhere near that around day 5, only 31". Actually come to think of it, if I ever measure 32" I reakon that will be cause for MAJOR celebration.

Oh, and one more thing. Over the past week I've noticed that I have grown some dark hairs around my aerola!!! Damm!
