[hauptdaunnila]

Modom69, you and I have rather physical jobs...lots of time on the feet, bending lifting reaching, etc. I judged my need for additional activity based on the type of day I had. If I had alot of short cases in a room where I was wearing 15 pounds of lead protection for 8 hours, I didn't need anymore that day. If I was doing a long tedious procedure where I was mostly sitting, monitoring one patient for 8 hours, then I got out and walked when I got home. I went on vacation between round 1 and round 2 and we did alot of hiking, like up mountains and stuff. Hubby was impressed with my stamina and strength. He was wondering also if I had lost muscle mass, but I showed him!!!!

I know I was really careful to make sure I got enough protein on protocol. I will admit, if I was really active several days in a row, I would throw alittle extra chicken into my lunch salad. That was my way of making sure my muscles got what they needed. I know it isn't strict protocol, but it worked for me. And as I said, I tend to be pretty active so I had to be careful.
