GREEK YOGURT COOKIE DOUGH

As I woke up this morning wondering what I wanted for breakfast, I realized something. I was feeling a bit too lazy to want to make anything. I wasn't feeling a bowl of cereal and I was craving sweet so I figured I'd go with dessert for breakfast. If you're using healthy versions of the ingredients it isn't all bad, is it?

Well I decided on something quick and easy so I went for Greek yogurt cookie dough. It's high in protein and lower in carbs. I know breakfast should be higher in carbohydrates to fuel you but this is what I wanted DAMNIT! 

If you're having a sweet craving this is a good snack to go to and with the high protein content this would make a great after workout snack. 

Here's how to make the Greek yogurt cookie dough



INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup plain non fat Greek yogurt
1 TBSP natural peanut butter
1 TBSP honey
Vanilla
1 TBSP dark chocolate chips

Throw all of the ingredients into a cup and mix with a fork.


And keep mixing!


There you go, done in no time! And it only has 275 calories. ENJOY!!

FRIED HONEY BANANAS

I saw this recipe on Pinterest last night before bed and when I was wondering what I should make for breakfast this is what came to mind. My boys didn't like it but I thought it was AMAZING!!

This actually works out great for a super sweet snack but I put some in my oatmeal for breakfast and it was the best.

I altered the recipe a bit to use less oil and honey so it would have less calories. The batch I made up can serve 3 if used for a snack or 6 if used to go along with something, such as cereal, yogurt or ice cream topping. Mmmmm ice cream....

Ingredients:
1.5 TBSP coconut oil (you can substitute whatever oil you like, I just happened to use coconut oil)
1.5 TBSP honey
Cinnamon
3 bananas


Slice the bananas into 1/2 inch to 1 inch slices. The thinner they are the wimpier they become, so you really don't want them too thin. 

Put the oil in your pan, or part of the oil if only part of your bananas fit. Arrange the bananas on the pan and let them fry for 1-2 minutes. 

Flip the bananas and let them cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add a little water (1-2 TBSP) to the honey and drizzle over the bananas until the water cooks out. Add the cinnamon when finished.
FRICKIN' DELICOUS!!

CLEAN PROTEIN PANCAKES

Eating clean? Trying to cut the bad carbs but can't get over that pancake craving? These clean protein filled pancakes will hit the spot. I either eat them plain, with a  small bit of honey, or my own home made date syrup!

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup of quick oats
1/4 cup of plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 banana
2 egg whites
Cinnamon

I use my 3 cup food processor to whirl all of the ingredients together. But first thing's first. Put the oatmeal in the processor alone to make a fine oat flour. Add the rest of the ingredients until mixed evenly. Cook like you would any other pancake. If the batter seems too thick, add more banana or yogurt. If the batter seems too thin, add more oat flour. Enjoy with a bit of honey and a refreshing glass of skim milk and you have a well balanced meal!

SHOULD YOU EXERCISE ON VAVATION

Earlier this week, I got the luxury of having a little mishap bumper bender at work and was granted a 5 shift suspension from work. Well my parents had already left for Tennessee with my kids so I figured I would tag along. I had one major dilemma, though. I had just recently started INSANITY and I didn't want to be one week in and completely void that week of hard work. Well I thought about it and told myself that I would just double up on my exercises and do 2 a days until I caught up.

Well upon returning from my lovely vacation, I was really dreading a weigh in knowing I really didn't eat like crap but I didn't eat clean at all. I had cheese burgers, pizza or ice cream for one meal each day. All my meals were super-sized restaurant portions. I came back and when I stepped on the scale to find that I still lost 2.2 pounds! I was super excited.

The next morning is when I got back into my workout routine. I had taken 5 days off of exercising and I was dreading having to re-build any muscle or endurance that I had not been using. Much to my surprise, I started off easy and refrained from overworking myself and still got an awesome workout. Happy to say that I burnt 647 calories in 40 minutes. 

Now I was happy that I got back in to INSANITY with ease but still I am shocked that I lost 2.2 pounds without keeping routine. My only real consistency is the Fibrotrim and Omegaplex I have been taking.

FRIENDLY COMPETITION

Lately I've been semi-following this blog and his writer, Skinny Jared. He's lost a lot of weight and has done it fast. Many people don't agree with his way of doing so, mostly because he eats around 500-700 calories a day and exercises it all off at the gym. I agree with his high protein and how much he should be burning during a workout but I could never eat that few of calories a day simply because I'd be hungry.

Yes, a part of me does say that it is also unsafe to eat that few of calories in a day but hey, its better than getting skinny smoking crack. He's trying to get healthy and he may not be doing it the best way, although he is pretty damn successful with what he has done.

Now with the friendly competition. OK, I get it. Maybe I'm bad because my idea of friendly competition is what all of you "nice" people call antagonistic warfare. He usually burns 700-800 calories in an hour and that is great. But I've been doing INSANITY and it completely kicks my ass! Not to mention that I burn just a tad bit more calories than Jared does in 55 minutes. I just want to see him beat my best, or at least try:)
