I have always been health-conscious to a certain degree and have tried to eat well throughout my life. In this challenge, through a lower-fat, slightly higher in protein diet I hope to increase my lean muscle mass, decrease inches around my waist, and improve upon overall bone health.

At my age, I find it tough to build lean muscle and keep that definition. Including WheyActive whey protein in my diet, I hope to maintain descent tone and look healthy. This also involves a workout plan that has me doing various strength exercises twice a week and cardio exercise a few days a week. I welcome the exercise plan because I do work out, but would like to make it more of a routine. With constant traveling, this may prove to be difficult.

This first week has presented some challenges for me as I had to change my eating routine and include more meals in my day. This is difficult since I am usually on the go and am not used to having pre-packed snacks all ready to go. I do feel full after eating the yogurt with the whey protein powder. The satiety makes it hard for me to convince myself to eat the next meal 2-3 hours later!
