Today's lunch went pretty well.Here's the desert I made. The yogurt wasn't frozen enough, but it tasted fine & looked nice.
Tried to make Primal Bars and made the mistake of doubling the protein powder. They aren't *terrible*, they just have virtually no flavor and are quite crumbly. I knew as soon as I added it it was a bad thing. I should have added some more liquid to make it into more of a 'paste' consistency. The original recipe uses coconut flakes in with the mix, which add...

Been spending entirely too much time reading medical research lately. I've been researching different types of post-workout recovery drinks. I haven't been able to find one comparing what I want. Clearly I need a better hobby.
According to my scale, over the past week or so, I've lost ~2.5 lb's of fat. But only lost ~.5 lb of overall weight. Nice, but annoying at the same time.
I have tomorrow off. Planning on going running, and then getting some stuff I need and then doing laundry...
