According to google, most people don't get enough protein, and since I eat no meat, I bet I really don't get enough protein.
So I am adjusting.
First, a Greek yogurt every day, 20 g of protein.
Next, a protein powder that is 23 g of protein a day, that I can add to a shake, or to the yogurt!
Google also says that the other deficiency that leads to frequent colds is a Vitamin D deficiency. And I know I have one. In fact, every one in the north country is Vitamin D deficient. We don't get enough sun to be otherwise.
So I am starting a daily D3.
My youngest daughter grew up on plain yogurt, bananas and wheat germ. She thought it was a treat, and she eats it to this day.
Now that I can stay "home", there is a lot of straightening up and organizing that needs to be done, before we can get back to work in the studio.
So Lois and I first dragged out the loft, took all the fabric that I don't want, out to the barn.
I had some new shelves built, here is all my chenille, except for the bottom 6 cones on the right.
Over here is all my cotton.
More cotton over here.
And some miscellaneous stuff over here.
The pantry/bath got some rearranging too.
Bit by bit, things are getting put in their place.
It's funny, even though I have half the number of looms that I used to have, and basically HALF the space, it seems somehow that the studio is starting fresh. It not only has a new look, it has a new feel, more focused, more peaceful, more inspiring.
I'm liking it.
Thanks for the info on Greek yogurt, I don't eat meat either and need to watch my protein intake. It's always a concern. Hope it helps you fight those head colds. Your home/studio is really coming together.
ReplyDeletethanks for such a nice and informative information. i love the way you are working on this blog. Adopt a dog
ReplyDeleteIt all looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Hilary, I'm glad you are getting it done so you can get back to weaving soon. We make a blender full of protein shake 3-4 times a week and I can nurse my ration to 1 or 2:00 PM, so it ends up being 2 meals, I'll grab a KIND bar and fruit late afternoon. The banana, yogurt and wheat germ looks yummy. Things are looking good with your spools.
ReplyDeletea bit of advice .. if you start to get hand or leg cramps/charleyhorses .. its from VitD ... i think this VitD deficit that everyone i know was told they have is a bit of bull the VitD lobby is perpetrating .. so there ...
