Protein?: Yes ;)

Water?: Yes

Daily Reflection: Today I did not lift or run because I have an exam that I needed to study for. I wish I went to lift but I needed to prepare for the exam. In the future I need to prioritize time for movement and exercise.

Exercise: Lift - Back

Protein?: No protein shake :( but I would say 90 grams of protein

Water?: Yes

Daily Reflection: Even though I did not have a shake I still had a good amount of protein and low amount of carbs. My day was busy - I was on the go from 7:45am till 8:30pm. I worked, got assignments done, went to class, had a meeting and still made time to lift. Hoping I don't lose momentum.
