My love for pancakes in the morning is strong, particularly during the fall and winter months. Pancakes are incredibly easy to switch up, as there are so many variations and the possibilities are endless! However, sometimes it is nice to keep it simple and stick to the basics, such as these high protein chocolate chip pancakes.... It's wild to know that just three of these pancake pack just under 40 grams of protein! They truly make for a deliciously satisfying, health meal! https://katebattams.wixsite.com//chocolate-chip-protein-pa

Not too long ago, I completed my first half-marathon and intended to complete my first marathon on October 21st. However, I decided to change course on accomplishing this goal due to some personal struggles and losses and had decided that it would be best to pursue this goal in 2021. I do have to say that I am exhilarated with the progress that I had made and am still incredibly proud of completing my first half marathon! With this, it is important to note that there ...is no shame in changing or postponing any goal that you may have. Sometimes you have to go with the ebb and flow of life and what is realistic for you to maintain in the moment, which at this time, for me meant that running was not feasible to continue and that's OKAY! In this post, I have opted to share what I am focusing on instead - something that is feasible and maintainable at this time. https://katebattams.wixsite.com//from-marathon-training-to
