Day 5

Today was all about leftovers. This is what I ate:
-1 egg muffin
-2 paleo pancakes (I still can't get over how yum they are!)
-steak siroloin salad with onions, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, onions, oil & vinegar
-Smoothie with 3/4 cup assorted frozen berries, 1/2 banana, about a cup of coconut milk, a few pieces of ice
-leftover pulled pork, sauteed zucchini and yellow squash (sauteed in coconut oil and seasoned with basil leaves, pepper and oregano)
-salad with apples, pecans
-for dessert I made something new inspired by this recipe: http://www.tricitiescrossfit.com/2010/05/09/banana-dessert-recipe/

PALEO BANANA DESSERT: 


Ingredients: 
2-3 bananas cut into bite size pieces
1/4 cup olive oil or coconut oil
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
zest of 1 lemon (which I didn't have this time)
juice of 1 lemon (I used lemon juice)

Instructions: 
-Preheat oven to 350
-Put the banana slices on a baking dishes
-Combine olive or coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon zest & juice together
-Drizzle over bananas
-Bake for 12-15 minutes
*If you like them a bit crispier like I do, saute them over medium to high heat for a few minutes until it's browned on both sides!

It's delicious! Definitely has cured my sweet tooth cravings for the day.

Aindrea and I swam 50 lengths today at the Y. Felt great! Something that motivates me is something I heard once...I never regret going to the gym, but I do regret not going. Or something like that :)
