Day 4

I haven't weighed myself because the scale at the gym is broken & I don't have a scale at home. If I did have a scale at home, it would probably stress me out so it is best to avoid having one. I wasn't sure of what to do with my egg yolks...I didn't want to waste them (you know me, I'm too resourceful for that) so Dr. Badass will be getting an egg yolk breakfast every morning! You know he LOVES it!

Breakfast-

1 hour on the elliptical! Sweated up a storm too ;)

I have 2 different types of protein; whey isolate and a blended protein. There are many different amino acid profiles and our body needs a variety of sources of protein. This is why you switch up your meals with different meats, shakes, eggs, etc. I'm not expert on this topic, but I do know the basics. I'll do a write up on protein and reference a few sources that might explain better than I can.

Crockpot oatmeal-

Here is what I did, but it could be better:

1 C. Steel Cut Oats (non-instant)

4 C. Water

1 apple diced

Few shakes of cinnamon

Cook overnight on low

I think that there was too much water. When microwaving oats usually I use equal parts water to oats but I picked up this recipe from a blog (although she used almond milk). I think I might try this again and subtract one of the cups of water. I guess it depends how you like your oatmeal, this was just too soupy. The blogger also removed the apple skin, but I was too lazy for that! You could throw in all sorts of things, raisins, nuts, honey, etc.
