Day 12

I designated today as 1 of the 3 rest days that I'm scheduled to take during phase 1 of Jamie Eason's LiveFit trainer. I only took this as a rest day because I still have low energy and I can't get it together. I'm still eating pretty good with the clean eating, but the weight training...well, let's just say, it's a no go!!! I keep going thru bodybuilding.com forums to get some inspiration, but some of the transformations I've seen show women who are striving to be competitors, muscle building competitors. And I'm not sure if they started out on Jamie Eason's programs or their own workouts...I don't know! I also searched google for some inspiration...I found some, but shoot, I still don't feel motivated enough!! 

But anyhoo...

The chocolate protein bars from Jamie Eason at bodybuilding.com are pretty good!! I used some different ingredients, but they still turned out ok. I used almond flour instead of oat flour (only flour I could find in Walmart other than the "bad" flours lol) and I used chocolate protein powder instead of vanilla protein powder. Oh, and since I watched her video AFTER I made them, I should've used liquid egg whites for 3 eggs instead of 4 eggs. This made the bars bake up longer and they weren't as dense as they should have looked. So next time I'll use fresh egg whites from the whole egg instead. I also added pecans in mine just to give it a crunch like they were brownies.

I let them bake for about 35 mins even though the recipe only said 20-30mins, but, like I said, since I had too many liquid egg whites, it made the batter a little more runny and I had to bake a little longer.

And after...Pretty good I must say!

Well once they came out, I had a piece with a glass of almond milk!! Very good and I'll definitely make again!
