Father's day gift for the fit Dad


Last night I was looking for my husband's gift and could not find it. You see I have to hide things because I have a 2 year old who brakes and destroys things. 
This morning I finally remembered where I hid it. Where is my brain? Do you also have this problem?

Chalkboard canister with protein bars for the fit Dad

I thought this gift was perfect for an active Dad. The medium size canister already has the label on. I wrote my words in French but you can also write them in English saying "#1 Dad". You fill it up with your Dad's favorite bars. I really think it's a good idea for my husband to take it even to work since he works out at lunch time. It's very pretty don't you think?

I also made a banner for the kitchen. Papa numero 1.
I really like chalboard banners because you can erase what you write to fit the occasion. 

- Spritz Chalkboard banner from Target. 
- Chalk markers from Target.
- Canister with chalkboard label from Tai pan trading.
- Cliff Mini organic protein bars in chocolate chips and white chocolate macadamia nuts from walmart.

week 5: progress and favorite fitness treat

My favorite fitness treat: It keeps you full and the protein get digested slowly witch is perfect for a late night snack.

Cottage cheese treat:
1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese,
Drizzle with honey and 12 Raspberries.
You can add 1 teaspoon Chia seeds. They make you feel more full because they expand during digestion.


Last week was pretty brutal: I had to work out 8 hours to make up for the week before. My goal is 5 hours a week.
I was doing super good and did 7 hours then my baby got a nasty cold and I got stuck home with her coughing and crying at home. 
She wanted to be held all day and I could have done the last hour but I didn't sleep the night before because of the baby and also my back was feeling uncomfortable. I think I stretched it to much in my yoga class.
Result: I still feel pretty good about the 7 hours. I did all my normal class plus weights and extra yoga at home. I have been working on my arms with the weights.
I did very well with my healthy and clean meals. 
Perfect with 1 gallon of water a day.
I had a piece of thin mint chocolate cake for cheat dessert.
I did great on the green juice at every meal.
I really feel more happy and get exited about cute work out clothes.

How is your fitness journey going?

Peanut butter and banana pancake stacks

I made this for my family on Saturday and it was my cheat meal. Pretty much breakfast for dinner.
It is very easy.

Peanut butter and banana pancake stacks:
2 pancakes per person, (I used a mix and water)
1 Tablespoon Peanut butter, (I like crunchy)
Half a banana,
Chocolate syrup,
Caramel syrup,
Raspberries.

Start with 1 pancake, spread the peanut butter and sliced banana on top. Add the second pancake.  Drizzle with the chocolate syrup and the caramel syrup. Add your raspberries on top. It is just beautiful and so delicious!
