Protein Pancakes:-2 eggs-1 and 1/2 Tbsp. Vanilla Protein Powder-2 Tbsp. Ground Flax Meal-1/4 cup applesauce-1 Tbsp. creamy Peanut ButterMix well. Heat pan to medium heat, cook until bubbles break in center(3 minutes or so) flip, and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes.(makes 3 cakes) I spread a little more peanut butter on mine, sliced a banana and drizzled maple syrup. YUM!
I was really craving coffee(again) this morning so I brewed some decaf and had a big cup with a little almond milk. It was just what I needed with these tasty cakes. It's really important for me to focus on the fact that this is a way of eating that I want to strive to keep. While I may be more open to certain foods in the future, this basic way of eating works well for me. Where I get into trouble is when I start telling myself "I can't" have certain foods, or I start to think of this as a "plan" I am on for now, and in 12 weeks - I can go back to how I was eating.
1) I can NOT go back to the way I was eating, it was killing me emotionally, spiritually and physically.2) I can NOT feel overly deprived because I will feel like I am being cheated, and I will head straight to my old habits.

One of my hardest lessons is to trust that I am good enough - right now, and that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. It is a lesson I relearn often. Cheers to our human connectedness, and the diversity that makes it all interesting! Enjoy your Saturday.
