Protein

This morning finally a guy from a local fibre optics company showed up. I’ve signed the contract to get “lightning fast” internet quite a while (more than two years back if I recall correctly) back. He took some pictures and wrote down the necessary data. I don’t think construction will start anytime soon, but at least that is something more solid than waiting and waiting and waiting.

Since the meeting didn’t take as long as I expected, I hit the gym directly afterwards. After I finished my routine, I talked to one of the coaches about adding protein to my diet to improve muscle growth and strengthening.

Luckily, there is a machine directly at the exit of the gym that freshly produces protein shakes and with the subscription, it is cheaper than buying the powder and mixing it myself.

I also got the benefit of trying 10 different favours instead of trying a bunch of powders and knowing most of them don’t taste that good, I think it is better to go with the one the gym suggests.

Interestingly, they also got two different protein types, a normal one and a “complex” one. Apparently, one fills you for two hours, the other for eight. And you can even select the amount of protein in grams.

We’ll see how it goes. I will also need to adjust my “normal” eating habits to bring more in on the days I’m not in the gym.
