Before I say anything – Happy National Dog Day to my one and only Shasta! She’s the biggest pain in my ass who brings me so much joy all at once! I honestly don’t know what my life would be like without her :) Love you my little monster xoxoxo!
Ok now down to business – what’s going on in Alicia’s life?! Well I finished Phase 1 of Jamie Eason Livefit Trainer. Weeks 1 to 4 were pretty simple….too simple for me :P so I added in a lot of my own cardio, intervals, abs and a few other things. But stuck to the weight program pretty religiously. I’m very happy with the progress so far. But seriously looking forward to things getting more challenging in phase 2 :)
I got the recipe for these bars off Jamie Eason’s recipe list on bodybuilding.com. The nutritional info is all on that website. I switched it up a bit though to avoid oat flour and whey protein. Since I can’t have any dairy (including whey…booooo), I’m stuck with using plant based protein for everything. So Vega it is!
