Ladies, I give you Chocolate Oatmeal!

This is what happens when I need chocolate badly but I also REALLY need to behave . . . 

"Necessity is the mother of invention"

1/2 cup rolled oats (150 cals)

1 Tbsp cocoa powder (20 cals)

1 cup water

Sweetener (I used 3 little Truvia Packets)

Add all ingredients to bowl and stir well,

then microwave for 2 mins.

Delicious!

Total calories 170!

Total time 5 mins!

Breakfast of a Champion!

I wanted to show you one of my pre-workout breakfasts.

I'm not talking about a 20 minute walk.  

I'm talking about high interval cardio followed by heavy weight lifting.

Days like that I need fuel.

It has to have protein, carbs and it has to stick to my stomach.

 No sloshing around tolerated because I really don't like puking.

Protein drink by Muscle Milk

160 cals (30g protein)

1 medium banana sliced (100 cals + good carbs)

2 tbsp creamy peanut butter (200 cals + good fats and protein)

Total 460 calories and I won't have to worry about running out of steam

 or leaving my muscles without the protein they need to rebuild.

Pardon the cartoon dishes, I have 3 kids!

Plus eating with Spongebob and Fiona makes it more fun ;)
