Swiss Oatmeal Recipe!

I've been getting back into the swing of things with my workouts. Doing the Blogilates January Calendar, plus running, plus squeezing in wii fit has been challenging but I'm making it work.

Treadmill workout on friday was crazy. I couldn't get through the whole thing. 

I did the first portion ad last two portions but only did 1/2 of the second portion. 

Next time I will do better!

Yesterday I worked out on my break. I almost died. This is me almost dying below. But I pushed through the workout. It was quite intense. I had to modify something but despite how much I wanted to stop, I kept going.

I really am loving to see my wii fit meter have high numbers. This is the highest ever in a day I have had so far. Of course this was when I did my 10 mile run on sunday :)

Because I'm doing this new body makeover challenge, I've been trying new foods and I must admit some have been quite a success while others have been a failure. I thought I'd link this awesome recipe up for What I Ate Wednesday! Here's my breakfast for this week thanks to Blogilates. Swiss oatmeal. This was my first time making overnight oats and it was so yummy!

Makes two servings.

1 cup of dry oats.

1 green apple, diced.

1/4 cup of dried cranberries

1 tbs of sliced almonds

1 cup of non fat plain greek yogurt.

Mixed ingredients.

Let chill in refrigerator overnight.

Enjoy in the morning.

*I squeezed half of a lemon over my diced green apple before adding it to the mixture. I wanted to make sure the apple didn't turn brown or get mushy. Not sure if it wouldn't have if I didn't do it though but I'm not taking that chance lol.
I'm loving this journey to becoming the woman that I want to be. The daily readings are great. I really loved this one. It won't happen overnight but it will happen. Something we must always remember!

Halfway through the week.

Hope you all have a great Wednesday!

Wii Fit U Challenge!

In November I was contacted by Justine from Brand About Town to participate in a Wii Fit U 30 day Challenge. Now some may or may not know this but the Nintendo Wii original Wii Fit is how I started my fitness journey in 2010. I was 260+ lbs and I felt that it was perfect for me and a great way to get started towards a healthier you. It worked for me then so I was happy to accept this challenge. The amazing people at Nintendo then sent me all I needed to get started. Talk about a great Christmas present.

Here's the three things I LOVE so far about Wii Fit U!

• The Camera on the gamepad. It allows you to be able to see yourself as you workout. It's absolutely genius. Let's not talk about my tummy!

• The fit meter! I love it! I just clip it on me and it records my steps like an awesome pedometer! 

• The gamepad. I just love it. I love how I can look at it to do the workouts or at the TV.
