Back to the Basics

Today I decided to re-start myself after all of the crazy eating and non-working out for the past few weeks.  I started the morning with protein pancakes.  So good and so very healthy and filling!! 
Protein Pancakes:
(for 1 serving)
1/2 c. rolled oats (you can blend half of them if you want a smoother texture in the pancake)
1/4 c. egg whites
blueberries
1/2 tsp. agave nectar (or more if you like it really sweet)
cinnamon (to taste)
vanilla extract (to taste)

Mix everything together and cook like you cook normal pancakes.  I am going to eat them again for breakfast tomorrow but add sliced bananas as my legs have been cramping and I need more potassium in my diet.

I ate so healthy today!  Salad for lunch, Kombucha and almonds for a snack and YUMMY citrus tilapia with black beans and rice for dinner.  Trying really hard this week not to eat wheat.  I find myself feeling much more energized and just all around better when I don't eat wheat, and I don't have as many crazy cravings for sugar and snacky foods when I don't eat wheat.  (I also won't eat tons of potatoes or rice where I would eat TONS of pasta or bread if I could... ha ha).

I so did not want to go to the gym tonight...but thank goodness for the gym girls!  We all showed up and with the help of our amazing trainer and spin instructor got through an intense 45 minute spin class and a 1/2 hour kinesis class (double muscle group day is a killer!). 

I am now setting up my intense play list for the gym tomorrow... def. including some awesome 80's hits and some amazing re-mixs of pop hits that I FINALLY found in itunes.  Let's hope it gets me through 40 minutes of cardio so I'm already for yoga tomorrow night (finally stretching time!!)!
