Post Workout Oatmeal - Fall Edition
I started a consistent workout routine again this month. Lifting. Getting strong. Feeling good.
Almost all summer I was on a cardio kick. That's usually how it goes. Super nice outside, sign me up for all things cardio. Cold outside, back in the gym. Each time fall comes around I am slightly annoyed with myself because whyyyy can't I stick to lifting to see how strong I can get. I want to grow biceps on my bean pole arms. That mindset goes right out the window when the temperatures are warm enough for me to not be huddled under a blanket in bed; happening right now. So, I'm back at it; picking things up and putting them down. Getting pumped for leg day and eye rolling my way through days that aren't leg days. Isn't it funny how we dread doing the things that we suck at? You'd think I'd want to work on strengthening body parts that aren't legs (my strongest/"best" part of my body) but NOPE. Get me the heck away from those things that are tough. Not really, I still do 'em. But you know what I mean, right?
I do have to say, yoga has kept me strong. I am impressed with my strength for just getting back in the gym recently. YEAH YOGA, #1 love always and forever amen.
Now that I've got that out into the world, it's food time. This is my favorite oatmeal recipe lately. It keeps me warm (very important), satiated (also very important), and excited for my breakfasts each day!
Oatmeal Breakfast Parfait
As you can probably tell, I'm into oatmeal again. You'll see it on my Instagram as well as here in delicious recipe form. There's just something about eating oatmeal out of a glass that makes it better. Try it. It's a good experience.
Oatmeal is an all or nothing thing for me. I'm either eating it multiple times per day every single day or I'm not having any for weeks. That's how I am with a lot of things actually. I want it all or I don't want it at all.
This is a simple recipe for everyone. I share a lot of chocolate and peanut butter recipes because those are my jam. But I know that everyone's not into that so this is something that we can all share and enjoy. Plus, the oatmeal recipe is super versatile so you can use any toppings that you'd like. Let me know what your favorite oatmeal toppings are!
