Setting up for a healthy life.

Along with trying to orgnize my life I'm trying to get back on the healthy eating fitness track. So to start off my first work week right I decided to make some breakfasts and snacks for the week.

 My sister let us borrow this cart her, which ive decided to set up as a to go table of sorts.

 Well, firstly i made individual oatmeals to go. Each contains a serving of oatmeal, some yummy apple cruch granola mix, and then a small handful of dried berries!

 

When I add the hot water I mix in a little bit of agave for some extra sweetness, and these treats keep me full for the whole morning! 

Put some healthy snacks out to grab on the go, and lots and lots of fruit! Hopefully it has the desired effect!

On the fitness side of things, yesterday I did a fantastic streching DVD, its part of the turbo fire workout and man is it good! Makes you feel fantasic after, however today I am feeling it! 

I had big plans of putting in an hour of cardio today before work, but, I couldnt pull myself out of bed early enough. I didn't let that stop me though, i spent 20 minutes on the treadmill. I am hoping the more I do it the easier it will get to wake up early and be able to spend more and more time at the gym. 

Here's to hoping!

Cure for breakfast woes

Do you hate waking up in the morning?
Do you hate making breakfast? 
Do you hate even more when you wake up to late and don't have time to make breakfast and end up starving yourself all day?
Well come one come all I have a solution for your breakfast woes! (Provided that you make it the night before and aren't to lazy for that either)
Here is my recipe for *drum roll* Overnight oats!
This treat can be eaten cold or warmed up it's however you prefer it!
Now mind you this is only the second time I have ever made said oats and I can't promise amazingness every single time but, hey, it can't hurt to try right?
Anycow, here's what you do...

1/3 cup old fashioned oats
1/3 cup Greek yogurt 
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp chia seeds
Mix ins 

What I did this time was used yummy vanilla Greek yogurt, and regular milk, however you can use whatever kind of milk you have at your disposal. I mixed in 3 strawberries and half a banana.
Shake it up to get it all mixed in together, pop it in the fridge, and viola! Delicious breakfast ready to run out the door with you!

Till next time!
