Cranberry Cinnamon Overnight Oats

Its full speed ahead today with another 2 hours of weight training and staying on track with a clean eating meal plan. No added sugar, juices, or butter here, just plain and delicious clean food. Here's a list of what I had today.

Breakfast: 1 1/2 cups of rolled oats cooked with almond milk with a chopped banana and cinnamon
Snack: Protein Shake 2 scoops with chocolate almond milk
Lunch: Fajitas without tortillas
Snack: Apple
Dinner: Big Serving of Fajitas wrapped in lettuce with brown rice and black beans
Snack: planning on having cottage cheese with salsa, a homemade protein bar, or a Fage Yogurt

For tomorrow's breakfast, I prepped 2 containers of Cranberry Cinnamon Overnight Oats. They are soooo yummy and super easy to make. Check out the recipe below. Here's what you'll need:



Equal Parts (I use about 1/2 cup each)

Rolled Oats
Almond Milk
Fage Yogurt (or any greek yogurt, it is not processed and flavored like other commercial yogurts AND its loaded with protein!)

add ins: 
handful of dried cranberries
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp honey

Mix all ingredients together in a tupperware container and let it set in the fridge overnight. I like to heat mine up before eating, but these can be eaten cold as well. Enjoy! Which add-ins do you use in your overnite oats?

Motivation Monday, Push Yourself

Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking a lot about fitness motivation especially in the critical moments when you’re digging deep to make it through. Here are my thoughts on it. How do you stay motivated and energized through the grind? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section. Its the end of your run and your legs are burning , you’re out of breath, and you’re starting to wonder if you’ll ever make it through .  You’re in deep, and the only way to the finish line, up that hill, or through that last rep is through pure will. This is the moment that counts. When you feel like you just can’t take another step, somehow you manage to move forward, shaky, but still going. This is where the transformation happens. This is where the real change occurs. That bit of grit that comes from your inner driving force, some thought telling you, yes you can, that instant is when your inner athlete is born. We’re all athletes regardless of physique—it’s all in the mindset. If you bring...

Happy Weekend

Hello there, I hope everyone had a lovely week and is revving up for an amazing weekend! I had a full morning of meetings and interviews then a lovely late lunch at Lupe Tortilla with a skinny margarita and lettuce wrapped fajitas. I was in heaven. The patio was bustling with trays of sizzling fajitas, hand shaken margaritas, and a fire pit nearby. I might as well have been eating on the beach Once the margarita hit the table, I felt like I was instantly transported to a beach side cabana. I love me some fajitas and ritas :) This weekend my sister is coming into town for a visit. I'm so excited! Can't wait to catch up over a glass of wine. I may be fit, but wine is definitely in my diet right now. :)  Happy Weekend everyone! Enjoy yourself--you've earned it! 

Eating Clean among the S.A.D

Living healthy among the S.A.D.ers--the Standard American Dieters and the proliferators and advertisers of sugary fatty foods that continue to make us this way, is hard work especially when you're constantly faced with fast food, cake pop shops, and last years pumpkin latte (delicious, I know, but loaded with sugar). I'm loving every minute of the workouts and experimenting with new paleo options (who knew paleo pancakes and fudge would be so good!), but we all know that this lifestyle requires consistency, focus, dedication, and work! There are so many times I have had to talk myself out of eating a whole chocolate cake or binging on ice cream that my boyfriend loves to keep stocked in our freezer. Whenever I'm gifted cookies or chocolate around the office for a birthday or holiday I always accept, then turn around and re-gift them to someone else. To protect myself from cravings and added fats, I carry my protein shakes with me, share my homemade protein bars, and alway...
