The Life Of ProteinPancakes’s

Today I got back into the gym and started my running again after hurting my lower back last week. I did back, chest, abs and a 60 minute run. It has been 5 hours since I finished my workout n I am already painfully sore. My legs and back are currently killing me! I also find I am constantly starving! It is crazy what a couple days off at the gym can do to ur body!

I have finally set a goal for myself..which is to achieve my desired six pack by the end of June. After this week I am cutting out all cheat meals in order to get to my goal..this leaves me with 9 weeks of cutting 8 of which will be without slip ups. It is going to be so hard but not impossible! It is almost summer and I want to look amazing in a bikini! I am thinking my diet will remain the same as it is now and my cardio will go up due to my half marathon training. The only bad thing about that is that I have to be careful about losing muscle. However, I buy those gels that have 40g of carbs and 13g of protein and I take them as soon as I reach the 60-90 minute mark…So that should prevent muscle loss!

Just wanted to post my recipe for Protein Pancakes. This recipe can be changed to fit into your diet, that being said this is what I use:

*Add dry ingredients first

1/3 cup of oatmeal (sometimes I will split it between whole wheat flour)

1 scoop of vanilla protein powder

1 tsp of baking powder

1 packet of splenda

sprinkle of cinnamon

*Mix in wet ingredients

1/3 cup of egg whites (2 egg whites)

1 tsp of vanilla extract

add a little bit of water/milk or more egg whites if you wish until thick n fully mixed

*You can also add bananas or flax meal to the recipe

Enjoy!!!
