Weekend Update & Homemade Protein Bars

Wasn't able to get a workout in at the end of last week due to some drama at work. To make matters worse, I went out for dinner with a buddy I haven't seen in a while on Friday night, which meant steaks, fries and many, many beers. The result: almost no weight loss week over week. Gotta ramp it up next week.

In other news, after spending 5 bucks a day on protein bars for the past three weeks, I figured there must be a homemade solution out there. Hello Google! After a little research, I decided to make these:

Cereal Protein Bars

1/2-3/4c. honey
1/2 c. natty peanut butter
1/2 cup water
2 c. Rice Krispies, corn flakes, ect.
1-2c Oats (rolled)
1 tsp. vanilla
*6 scoops chocolate protein (100% ON, to be exact)
1/2 cup of splenda

Brought the water, honey, splenda to a boil. Added the PB, and lowered to a simmer. Threw the oats and cereal in a bowl. Take the liquid off of the stove when the PB is melted into the mixture, and add vanilla. Mix the liquid into the dry ingredients, put in a baking tray and put under broiler for 1 minute.

I've currently got 'em chilling in the fridge. They actually taste pretty good. We'll see how it goes tomorrow when I take them out, cut them into bars and take them to work.

Also, PAGG supplements haven't arrived yet.
