Saturday Recap / Breakfast Recipe

Happy Sunday Funday to you!  Yesterday went pretty well (up until dinner).. I woke up at went to the gym at 8am, I did 25 minutes on the elliptical at a medium/fast pace and then did some core work with ball crunches(3 sets of 20), flutter kicks(3 sets of 30 seconds), raised planks(3 sets of 30 seconds) and dumbbell cross-punch on a decline bench(3 sets of 20 each side) then finished up with 5 minutes fast on the elliptical.  I felt pretty good after that workout!

After the gym I went to Hobby Lobby to get supplies so I could make Nora's Easter Basket.

Pretty cute, huh?

Then I went to drop off a hairpiece that I made for a friend's wedding:

Pretty :)

So by the time I got home it was after 10am and I didn't want to have a big breakfast by any means.. so I had a protein shake.  Then it was time for Nora and I to go grocery shopping so I just had a few almonds and a couple pretzel sticks.  After the grocery store I stopped at the Vitamin Shoppe and picked up a Cytomax Protein drink - 40g of Protein, 160 calories, 0 carbs, 0 sugar.  I got Watermelon flavor it was pretty good!  I'm thinking of ordering a case and using these as an afternoon protein snack as opposed to a food snack.. hm..

Then when I got home at around 3:30, I had 1/2 bowl of Raisin Bran with Skim Milk. 
When deciding what we were going to have for dinner, Branden decided that he wanted pizza.  I should have said no but honestly it sounded yummy so I went along with it... so for dinner I had 2 small pieces of pizza and a big steaming bowl of guilt!  Bad decision and I felt like crap afterward.  You'd be surprised how much it affects your body when you eat crappy food after eating only good food for an extended period of time!  I should have known better.

For breakfast this morning, I wanted pancakes but I wanted to make healthy pancakes, so I did!

Recipe:

3/4c Whole Wheat Flour
1/4c Chocolate Protein Powder

1c Skim Milk

5packets Splenda

2tsp Baking Powder

2tbs Lowfat Vanilla Yogurt
2tbs Flax Seed, dissolved in 4tbs water
2 Egg Whites, beaten

Whisk and cook as normal!

These are yummy, I had 2 with a couple of sprays of no fat/no calorie spray butter made with olive oil and 1tbs of syrup, 1/2 banana and small glass of skim milk. Yum!  Nora loved these too!!

Well I have a child climbing all over me so I'll end this here.

Until tomorrow!!
