Greek-Yogurt-Pancakes-1-130x130
My kids can seriously eat some pancakes. So, I am always looking for a healthier way to make them. My friend Mandy found these and I couldn't wait to try them. They were awesome. I did tweek it a little myself. Instead of flavored yogurt I used plain and added 4 packets of Truvia; I used a white wheat flour; and two egg whites instead of an egg; and if I would have been thinking I would have added a 1/4 c of ground flax to it. They were light and fluffy and didn't weigh you down like regular pancakes. We'll definitely be using this recipe again.

Thank You Body…

I was not always fond of jogging…

When I was in high school I played basketball. Yes, there was lots and lots of sprints, suicides and laps around the gym…but those were done in short bursts and my mind was focused on getting that damn ball! In college I decided to join a gym. I loved lifting weights, but wasn’t too sure about the treadmill. (For the record, I’m a country gal…growing up, the gym was my backyard.) I got the nerve up to try one out and after about 10 min I was off it. I really hated that gasping for air feeling.

The other day I was in the locker room after my workout, getting ready for work. Two ladies were having a conversation about their dogs and how they can’t even spell the word “walk” without them getting all excited and heading for the door. They were amazed that they could figure it out and one of them stated “The dog doesn’t watch TV to know he should be exercising.”

I’ve trained a wide variety of people over the years, ranging from the marathoner to the grandmother.  When I taught college I would frequently tell them, “You don’t have to be skilled in motivating an athlete, you have to be skilled in knowing when to pull them back.” Athlete’s are driven to continuously strive to do better…they are overachievers.
