Fitness Cure

One of the greatest fitness “tools” out there is an ipod. I can’t even workout without mine. If you have one you know what I mean.Those guys give you serious motivation when you are slumming around.

fitPod is a free online community for everything fitness & iPod. It’s an interesting place to meet others with similar interests, pick up fitness tips, discuss fitness and music, and share your favorite fitness playlists — what “fitPod” calls “fitLists.”

“Exercise doesn’t mean putting on workout gear, having the right shoes and driving to the gym…if you have to, perform jumping jacks, run in place, jumprope…for 20 minutes in your pajamas. Whatever it takes…just do it. Exercise is about moving your body, challenging your muscles, working your heart regardless of space and environment. Make it a point to choose “NO Excuse.” everday.” – Maria Kang

Believe it or not, Tuesday, September 26, is a day we celebrate the round fluffly, carb friendly flapjacks! I used to love them when I was younger! But as I grew up, and wanted to begin slimming down my hips, I realized that a lot of processed flour, sugar and fat goes into creating these tasty pancakes.

So! In commemoration (did I spell that right?) of National Pancake Day, I am featuring my personal “Black and White” Protein Pancake!

Ingredients:
6 egg whites
1 cup oatmeal (1/2 of it was grinded)
chocolate and marshmallow flavored syrup
wheatgerm
cinnamon
grapefruit

Cooking Directions:
Mix egg whites, oatmeal, cinnamon and wheat germ in a bowl. Using non-stick spray, place a wide dropping of the mixture onto the flat pan and lightly brown each side. You can add sugar free syrup or the chocolate and marshmallow flavored, sugar free syrup that I used. To make it extra, extra, special, you can cut one of the pancakes into a heart so that it gives some personal love to the meal.

I added some grapefruit to compliment the meal – you can add whatever you like!

Happy Protein Pancake Day!

Ingredients!

Wola!
