P90x Day 6 + vanilla flavored protein pancakes with peanut butter & cinnamon

P90x Day 6 of 90: Kenpo!

My calves are still burning from Legs & Back! I did not think the workout would make me feel this sore but now I know I need to stretch my calves more on Legs & Back days. My hamstrings do not feel tight so this tells me that I may have been too easy on myself. Next week I will squat lower and make sure I am holding everything for the suggested counts.

Day 6 review

Kenpo is my favorite of all the workouts. I dabbled in kick boxing and Tae Kwon Do in the past so I felt most comfortable with this workout. Since the other workouts (especially yoga) were all new to me I feel as if I wasted too much time double checking the video to make sure I was following along properly.

Food intake

I have been flipping through my clean eating recipe books as well as old Food & Wine and Oxygen magazines to add diversity in my meals and have seen cottage cheese mentioned a lot. Can you believe I never had any? Well, that is until today! I tried some and found that there are a ton of pancake recipes using cottage cheese!

For the best protein packed punch I opted for:

• Pancake mix:
• ½ cup oatmeal
• ½ cup cottage cheese
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 egg whites

(cooked in coconut oil)

• Pancake topping:
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• ½ tablespoon peanut butter 

I hope that next time I remember to snap a picture!
