Pancakes for national pancake day!

Image
Yesterday (2.5.2013) was National pancake day so IHOP was giving free pancakes to customers. 1. I did not want to stand a in a long ass line although it is free 2. I'd rather make my own but a healthier version I was thinking about using protein powder to substitute for flour, but reading about how heat denatures protein made me a little iffy about that... so here's how I made these pancakes :) How I made it: 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/3 coconut flour, 2 tbs, oats, 1/3 cup milk, and with a handful of almonds I threw everthing into my blender. The "sauce" on top is just chobani yogurt. And I got the basic recipe from chocolatecoveredkatie.com but changed the recipe around a lot by taking out salts/vanilla extract/sugar

For a latecomer... going to gym late for classes is a lose-lose situation

Most of the classes that I'm interested in are scheduled at the busiest time of the day (at the gym) which is usually from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. I try to keep Monday evenings open just because my gym offers 'boxing boot camp' and you get your ass kicked in that class. Today I realized my sweats were all gone so I was looking all over for them so that I can wear them over my short, short workout shorts in the freezing cold. So.... I was too late for that. Therefore, I waited for the cycling class, but apparently you need tickets from the front desk to claim a bike. Boo. Had to motivate myself to go on a bike and do my own HIIT cardio on it. Was going to run on treadmill or go on stairmaster but of course they're all taken! SEE, lose-lose for me since it's so busy I can't go to class and the rest of the gym is packed like sweaty sardines. Though there is one silver lining: eye-candy be it women or men. Evening is the optimal time to see some cuties. Don't ask ...
