peace + love + cupcakes

Tumbling about losing weight (113 lbs so far), trying a eat clean way of life, training for my first half marathon, music and other randomness.

I was in the mood for pancakes & I decided to try this recipe posted by Theresa although I modified it a bit.  

1/3 cup of rolled oats

5 egg whites

1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder

1 banana

1 tbsp of plain greek yogurt

1 tbsp of peanut butter with roasted flaxseeds

Cinnamon to taste

I blended everything and then poured the batter on a heated pan which I sprayed some PAM on.  It actually made 9 pancakes but I ate the first one to try. Gotta do a taste test. For the topping, I took an additional tablespoon of greek yogurt & I added some stevia (1/2 packet),added more cinnamon and whipped together.  I also added strawberries (1/2 cup) between pancakes.  The size of each pancake was roughly the size of my palm.  

They came out very tasty, fluffy & very filling.  If I make these again, I will try to reduce the recipe by half since it took me a while to finish them.  I was so full I had to wait a while to work out.  This is all one portion which came out to 10 PP+ or 488 calories.  

After 5 days of not working out, I did the Turbo Jam Cardio mix.  I am finally feeling better.  It’s hot here in the Bay Area and I was a sweaty mess after it.  I have to figure out what my target heart rate should be when working out but so far I am liking my Polar F4T. I just need to figure out how to stop it from beeping all the time.  

My plan for tomorrow is to Zumba in the morning & hit the gym in the afternoon.  Hopefully this will happen.
