Guilt Free Oatmeal Protein Pancakes! I am obsessed with this...

Sat, 13 Apr 2013 12:07:31 -0400

Guilt Free Oatmeal Protein Pancakes! I am obsessed with this clean and whole food recipe. Great fuel without the bloat of wheat pancakes. Here is my variation for this day:

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Quick 1 minute oats
- 1/2 banana (ripe)
- 1/2 cup liquid egg whites
- 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3 drops liquid stevia

Preparation
1. Use immersion blender or regular blender to combine all of the ingredients.

2. Pour small amounts of batter onto properly greased fry pan or griddle. Cook 2 minutes each side at low to medium heat. (Basically cook pancakes as you normally would)

3. Dress and garnish as you normally would. Today I used agave syrup and later topped it with vanilla yogurt.

Good luck and enjoy!

How To Stay Motivated After A Fitness "Break" (Expect The 'HARD')

Thu, 27 Dec 2012 19:09:16 -0500

fitvillains:

While many people are able to keep up with their training over the holidays, others might find themselves ‘missing’ more workouts than normal. Life happens, stress happens, we get tired and before we know it, we’re fallen off the fitness wagon.

One thing few people talk about is how hard it is to get BACK on the wagon after we take a break. Especially, if we’ve felt very fit before. It can be de-motivating to learn that we’re not at our ‘best’.

Tip: Expect the HARD.

thefameofhealthandfitness: Don’t let this be YOU this holiday...

thefameofhealthandfitness:

Don’t let this be YOU this holiday season. I know I am not alone when I say I will encounter ‘FOOD PUSHERS’ during the holidays. It happens every year so I am preparing myself NOW!

When all is said and done YOU need to take responsibility and be the person to say, “No, thank you”, “I will have some when I am ready”, “Thank you but not right now”, “I am getting full”, or “That’s all for me thanks!” or let people in on your journey to health and fitness. If you want to eat until you feel sick, go for it, but from my own experience it’s not a pleasant feeling.

Jillian Michaels wrote this great article on FOOD PUSHERS. It reads:

“Many people struggle with this common problem — their moms, dads, brothers, sisters, husbands, and wives always push food on them. I tell them exactly what I’m telling you: Acknowledge these behaviors. Recognize the problems, sit the people in question down, and let them know that you are trying to lose weight and be healthy. Tell them how they can help and support you. Chances are they’ll want to help and will be willing to learn new recipes so that they can cook for you without threatening your health and happiness.

We count on the people closest to us to support us through thick and thin. The fact that a loved one may be sabotaging your efforts to get in shape, whether they are conscious of their behavior or not, can be tough to swallow and address. Take a good look at your current significant relationships to see how they affect your life both on a day-to-day level and on a larger scale. Is anyone in your circle a food-pusher?

Sure, it seems innocent enough. These people may not realize what they are doing, or they may think they are doing it out of love. The bottom line is that their way of loving you is through food. It’s time to stop it for good.”

fitvillains: Hardcore Holidays! Day 5 Stocking Stuffer: 200...

Hardcore Holidays! Day 5 Stocking Stuffer: 200 Lunge Hop Ups

It’s a cardio challenge today! Short, sweet and brutal. :)

Lunge hop ups are faboosh for your legs and will boost your heart rate SKY HIGH. It’s a super quick challenge, but you need to push yourself! Try doing 10-25 per side, and alternate til you reach your goal (throw in some planking or other moves to recover as needed: these are intense!)

How To Do It

A. Step BACK into a deep lunge. Keep your chest up, weight driving through the front heel, and keep an athletic stance (core contracted, arms engaged). The front leg should be parallel to the floor. Go as deep as you can, standing taller if a deep lunge is too difficult.

B. Push through the front heel to jump up in the air on one leg, while bringing the back leg forward and driving the knee up.The higher the jump, the more work for your legs. Land softly, back in starting position.

To make it easier: reduce range of motion. Don’t lunge as deep or jump at the end (just draw the knee in).

To make it harder: increase range of motion: jump higher, lunge lower and go FASTER. Yay!

Go, go, go!

See the rest of the challenges here.

Love it!
