Daily Doses...

Move: Get up and do something! Try to push yourself harder than you think you can at least a little bit everyday... Go to sleep at night knowing that today you did something you didn't think you could, tried something new, and made yourself a little more awesome than you were when you woke up :) Today's move is JUMP SQUATS because you can do them anywhere, without any equipment, and it will use almost every muscle in your body. Just stand with your feet shoulder width apart, hands on your hips, and back straight. Squat until your thighs are parallel with the ground (or a little lower if you are looking for even more of a burn), then explode through your feet jumping as high as you can off the ground. When you land, make sure your knees are bent to avoid injury. The faster you do jump squats, the more of a burn you will feel. Jump squats will not only work your muscles but also get your heart pumping. You can even add weights into the mix if you want even more of a challenge. 

Eat: I love pancakes just as much as anyone else... the only problem is that they don't exactly get an A in the nutrition gradebook. One of my favorite foods that Gabe and I make are PROTEIN PANCAKES... They taste just as good as regular pancakes, only one will fill you up, and you feel good about eating them because they are so good for you! What you will need

• One Scoop of protein powder... Any flavor will work... My fave is banana
• 3/4 cup of egg whites... or you can use regular eggs
• 1/2 cup Oatmeal

Mix the ingredients together in a bowl. I like to also add cinnamon to the mix because it makes the pancake taste amazing! Then, just put the pancake mix into the pan and cook it! Couldn't be easier! You can put lots of different toppings on your pancakes- syrup (I like to use sugar free), fruit, peanut butter, almond butter, cocoa powder, the list goes on! Once you got the basic recipe, you can be creative and experiment with different ways to really make it your own.

I love this picture. It makes me miss being little... when life was simple and everything was new.

Feel: "Yes, I've made mistakes. Life didn't come with instructions." Love this quote. We are all human, and part of being human is making mistakes and learning from them.
