Lately, I’m Loving… (+ A Workout & Protein Pancakes!)
It’s been a busy but exciting season over here, and I wanted to take a moment to share what I’ve been up to lately—because I know I’m not the only one always looking for new ways to move, eat, learn, and grow!
1. Moving My Body: CrossFit and My New Rowing Machine 🚣♀️
I’ve been making my way back into CrossFit-inspired workouts, and it feels so good! There’s something about pushing past that comfort zone and feeling strong that’s so rewarding. I also added a rowing machine to my setup, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to get my heart rate up.
Want to try a quick, effective CrossFit-style workout? Here’s a simple but spicy session you can do at home or in the gym:
🔥 15-Minute AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible)
10 Dumbbell Thrusters (Hold two dumbbells, squat down, and press overhead)
15 Kettlebell Swings (Or substitute dumbbell swings if needed)
20 Calories on the Rower (or 200m Run if you don’t have a rower)
5 Burpees (Because what’s a CrossFit workout without burpees? 😉)
Set a timer for 15 minutes and go through the exercises as many times as you can! Let me know how many rounds you get in the comments.
2. High-Protein Comfort Foods 🍽️
I’ve been on a mission to increase my protein intake in a way that still feels delicious and enjoyable. That means tweaking some of my favorite meals, like protein-packed pancakes and waffles! Prioritizing nutrition doesn’t have to mean giving up the foods you love—it’s about finding new ways to fuel your body.
💡 Here’s my go-to High-Protein Pancake Recipe:
Protein Pancakes
Ingredients:
½ cup oat flour (or blended oats)
1 scoop vanilla or plain protein powder
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon
1 egg (or flax egg for a plant-based option)
¼ cup Greek yogurt (adds extra protein!)
⅓ cup almond milk (adjust for consistency)
½ tsp vanilla extract
Optional toppings: Fresh berries, almond butter, or a drizzle of honey
🔹 Instructions:
1️⃣ Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
2️⃣ Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
3️⃣ Pour small amounts of batter to form pancakes and cook for about 2 minutes per side.
4️⃣ Serve warm with your favorite toppings!
These are fluffy, delicious, and packed with protein to keep you feeling full and fueled!
3. My Current Read: The Universe Has Your Back 📖
I’m diving into Gabby Bernstein’s book, The Universe Has Your Back, and it’s been such a great reminder that we don’t have to control everything. Sometimes, we just need to trust the process, release fear, and allow life to unfold.
If you’re looking for a mindset shift, I highly recommend it!
4. Learning to Support More Women 🤰
I’ve been studying prenatal and postpartum coaching so I can better support my current and future clients. Whether you’re a new mom, thinking about becoming one, or just want to understand how to train during different phases of life, I’m excited to bring more expertise to my coaching.
5. Stronger Together: The Membership That’s Changing the Game 💪
