Banana Egg Pancakes

I just want to take a moment to share an easy, quick recipe.
- 1 banana, mashed.
- 2 eggs, scrambled
Combine and fry like a normal pancake.
So, so good :)
I ate it with lime yogurt and berries

I hope you are having a great Tuesday :)
I just wanted to take a minute to share an article with you. Some of the information you might already know, and some of it might be new.
Either way I hope you find yourself inspired to not give up.
At least not today.

Roxanne - I'm Back!

Hey Everyone,
So, I know it has been quite awhile since I last wrote - But here's to the new year!
I've moved now because I have started my internship with school giving me the perfect opportunity to eat more healthy.
For the next three months I have chosen to no longer eat fast food or junk food. Obviously there will be the odd exception (Like drinking hot chocolate during a 'Let's meet for coffee') but I will not be purchasing any junk food and bringing it into my life.
This will hopefully stabilize my blood sugar levels which will help with cravings thus enabling to keep my eating habits in check.
Also I started a rep program. I found it on Pinterest, and it was to help me with being able to do pushups (I started it last month and can now do over 10 pushups in a row - Only the girl ones, but this month I'm working on the real ones) I also use it for crunches and squats, and with each new month I plan to add a new exercise.

Anyway - That's my life right now.
Here is a little article by Shape magazine if you need a little inspiration : http://www.shape.com/weight-loss/success-stories/7-women-who-kept-their-weight-loss-resolutions?page=7

Happy New Years everyone!
