Nights 28 and 29

Bought a new pair of shorts today at Victoria's Secret... talk about motivation to do more squats and get a spray tan.  These shorts are probably the reason why last night I had polenta pancakes with bacon and tonight I had a protein shake.  It's amazing what seeing your legs in a fitting room mirror can do to a person.

Night 28

Polenta Pancakes with Turkey Bacon

There's bacon... IN the pancakes.  Genius I know. 

I made the recipe for the batter myself and I thought it was a little thin.  I would probably change the flour from 1/4 cup to 1/2 a cup and decrease the polenta to 1/4 a cup next time.

1/4 cup flour

1/2 cup polenta "corn grits"

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

2 egg whites

2 tbsp applesauce

Turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled

Sift first four ingredients together in bowl.  Blend milk, eggs, and applesauce together and add to flour mixture.  Combine until well blended.  Add in bacon crumbles.  Cook like regular pancakes!

Night 28

Protein Shake

I have been buying this particular brand of protein shake for a while, but it wasn't until recently we started adding fruit in and blending it up, it makes it soo much better!

Blend the banana, two strawberries, and the shake up for a healthy meal.  I've thought about adding peanut butter instead of strawberries, extra protein and yummy goodness.
