Week 4, day 1

Cheat day of course!!

I completely forgot to take any sort of supplementation which was a bit reckless of me but I think it made sense as I was allegedly supposed to be taking a break one day a week anyway and hadn't done that yet.

Breakfast:
- 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg cooked in a bit of ghee

- 95g bag of chocolate covered

The start: 1 Jan 2011
