Pancakes

Good morning!!

I've officially completed my Bootcamp class for today.  Yes, I have been crazy to do this and wake up at 5:00 so Darlene, the class instructor, can ferouciously kick my ass into shape every Tuesday, Thursday, and sometimes Saturday mornings.  It is a vicious class - I'm sore, sometimes I feel like I could pass out or throw up, and other times I feel like the female version of Rocky when I run for four minutes at a 10 incline and do other crazy workouts within an hour.

So...with Bootcamp and a boyfriend that has a Nutrition and Fitness degree, the way I view my "active" life and the food I eat is slowly being transformed.  Ignore the last bit of chocolate bunny I finally demolished last night (hey, it's dark chocolate - so it is healthy, right?!).  Anyways...back on target.  Since the sun is out right now, I'm feeling energized from my workout - even though it was impossible to keep my arms up to wash my hair or put on my mascara, I'm in a good mood, feeling in shape, and feeling good about the things I'm putting in my body - for the most part.  It is Cinco de Mayo so I'm not too sure how well I'll do tonight, but I'm starting the day out right....and eating my version of Banana Pancakes:

1/2 c. oatmeal (before cooked)
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 tablespoon of Smuckers Natural Peanut Butter (the only ingredient is peanuts and less than 1% of salt)
1 banana

Just cook up that oatmeal, add a little cinnanmon and peanut butter and add the banana into the mix when it is done cookin' and you've got yourself a great and filling breakfast that is super healthy for you!
