The Final Stretch

I cannot believe I am about a month away from being a college graduate! It is crazy to think that I can count the number of quizzes, exams, papers, and final projects on TWO hands.
I do not start my job until June 6th so it will be nice to have a few weeks off and relax. I will probably not do much relaxing, but I do plan to shut my brain off and not think about school or work ;) I am hoping the weather will be nice so I can do a lot of rollerblading and biking!
I really want to get into a good groove of things before I start my job. I am hoping to be a 5:00 am girl but yikes, I am nervous I will need an afternoon nap at work!  If I were to be at the gym at 5:00 am I would need to be up by about 4:25, holy smokes, I am yawning just thinking about it.
I am so excited to start another chapter of my life! I am also looking forward to a summer full of races, weddings, graduation parties, lakes, bbq’s, skydiving and so much more!

I wanted to share a yummy protein pancake recipe I have been making! It is SO good and it keeps me full for 4+ hours, which is a huge deal for me :)
19g Kodiak cakes (2/8 cup)
7g coconut flour (1 T.)
½ t. baking powder
30g PEScience protein (1 scoop) {code: CORINA for 30% off}
46g egg whites (1 serving/3 T.)
6T. almond milk
Mix all ingredients; if it is too thick add water, place mixture on griddle, cook both sides. Top with greek yogurt for more protein, fruit for sweetness, or even a Lenny and Larry’s cookie if you want cake flavoring (and have extra carbs)! I usually have pancakes multiple times a week and if they turn out pretty I post them on my Instagram @baileymckenziesff
