Day 4

 "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you." -Fred Devito

In the spirit of healthy eating, I decided to double check my bread ingredients for my sandwich.  No trans fat, no simple sugars, or high fructose corn syrup. It did mention that the whole wheat was unbromated, which sounded familiar but I couldn't place it. So of course I googled it, and was dissappointed with the lack of resources.

From what I gathered, flour gets bromated to speed up the required aging process of the wheat, which can normally take up to 2 months. It is also used to improve dough elasticity/make it easier to work with while baking. Bromated flour is also outlawed in the U.K., is a carcinogen, and has been implicated in thyroid problems.  Bad things...

Anyways back to workouts:
