Fun fact about me. I love pancakes

A couple weeks ago I ran out of pancake mix which was rather bothersome being as I was on a straight week bender of pancake breakfast. And I wasn't ready to say goodbye yet...
So I turned to the internet, pintrest to be exact and searched homemade pancakes. The wonderful world of delicious pancakes that came up changed me. I went a little crazy and pinned 20 new recipes to try.
The great thing about pancakes, is they are easy to make and you already have all the ingredients at home to make them from scratch.
So I set off to create "old fashioned pancakes"
They were fluffy, and so good. This recipe carried my bender into the next week.
Sadly I ran out of maple syrup... so now I have to find a recipe to make my own. Then the pancake breakfasts will continue again!
For the recipe, head over to my pintrest page under "I can do that"

Saturdays workout... from home

Usually in order for me to stick to my workout schedule I need a partner. Someone who I know will be there so I will always show up and workout, we always end up being the motivator for the other person.
However lately I have been working out on my own. At my house, on my own. My personal motivator? Online blogs and websites committed to sweating, building muscle, and working out. I'm suprised and secretly impressed I've stuck with it... go me! No to talk myself out of celebratory ice cream!

Anyways here's what I did tonight.
20 reps each, wod 2x through
Burpees
Walking lunges with lift off
Spiderman plank (right and left)
Frogger
Speed Skater
Dive Bomber
Squat Walk
Lifted windshield plank (right and left)

It will leave you sweaty and feeling good.

hard at work!

I guess it's not technically "hard" at work, these too made it SO easy and not to mention fun! 

These are just a few more I've had a chance to finish up, and I couldn't pass up the chance to share!

She said yes!

Here is just a sneak peek of what is still in the making!

Today 12/10/12

Winter is here.  It's cold outside.

But inside, it's nice and warm. It's nice with the Sun shinning through the windows and I'm not the only one who appreciates the indoors. These two kinda like it here too...

Braving the weather and wind

It was 26 degrees outside yesterday... this does NOT include the wind chill.
In a moment of slight.... well poor decision making. Some friends and myself tried to tough it outside for family Christmas pictures.

We immediately regretted our decision! Before we made the walk of shame back inside we did happen to get a couple really cute pictures! They were great sports!

Once we got back inside, we went for round 2 of pictures. We were able to get some more cute pictures without freezing our toes and fingers off!

I think we will be saving the outside pictures from now on to warmer days!
