I made Gina's Protein Pancakes this morning... successfully!
A little background regarding my breakfasts....
- Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.
- I have a breakfast "routine" that got me into trouble back during my ED days...
- I read the paper, drink coffee, and tend to fall into a ritual of eating the SAME THING everyday...
Therefore, I have set a goal for myself to try a new breakfast everyday. I am only allowed to repeat a breakfast every 3 days. So, I started with a smoothie (my recent ritual), then I had May's french toast oats, then french toast, repeat smoothie... and now Protein Pancakes!!
I followed the recipe almost exactly... except I only used 1 scoop of protein & I didn't have nutmeg...
Mix the dry...
Add the wet...
Then cook 'em up!
The finished product came out a little strange........
I attempted to organize the cakes into a smiley face because they were shaped very awkwardly! I topped them with syrup & a dash of salt (I love me some sweet-n-salty)..
Mmmm mmm good!
Now on to yoga...
I did CorePower Hot Fusion Yoga this morning... Again, this is day 2 of my hot yoga venture.. Again, I thought it was SOOO detoxifying. I left the studio even more drenched than yesterday. There were not a dry spot on my clothes. Nasty, I know... However, it felt so wonderful. I think of the sweat as negativity leaving my body. I focus on the fact that when I breathe in, I am allowing positive thoughts in...
Although I have done this now for only 2 days, I feel more aware of my body & my mind. I need this in my life. I struggle with my ED and negative thoughts daily; yoga is bringing me back to center. I thank my body for being able to stretch, bend, and for allowing me to do the practice of yoga.
I know I am rambling, but I thoroughly enjoyed the session this morning. I went in with an intention of releasing stress and I accomplished this.
Namaste,
Haley
