WIAW…For the LOVE of Oats!!

Happy Wednesday!! Let’s get right down to business…

Breakfast – Banana Oatmeal in a Jar with some coffee & almond milk. Okay, usually in the summer I don’t really crave oatmeal but I haven’t been craving eggs or smoothies lately so after reading the Summer Shape-Up Meals, I noticed how Anne said to add mashed banana to your oatmeal…OH.EM.GEE!! Seriously, where has banana oatmeal been all of my life. Even now thinking of it makes me want to make sure…go make it N-O-W!!

Lunch – Salad with some NutThins & Grapes plus Iced Green Tea (my new usual afternoon drink)

Dinner – A recycled picture of a dinner that’s DEF a favorite in this house…

Thanks again to Jenn @ Peas and Crayons for another awesome WIAW. Cheers!! XOXO

MIMM…Relaxation is a MUST!!

It’s Monday but it’s also a new week!! Did everyone have a good weekend? I know over here, it was nice and relaxing which we all totally needed. Now that I am working full-time and Keely is in school three days a week, the weekdays just fly by and by the weekend, we are all pretty exhausted. Anyways, just because it was nice and relaxing doesn’t mean we didn’t have tons of fun! I am joining Katie @ Healthy Diva Life for another MIMM edition…

I am still doing my usual workout schedule: 3-4 days of cardio (45 minutes), 3 days of weight training then adding the specific yoga sequences for the day. If you want to join me, here is the link to the challenge. It’s great because they give you a weekly sequence schedule.
