Getting Motivated!
Throughout my weight-loss journey, many people have asked me how I get and stay motivated to exercise. It wasn’t so easy for me at first, but now exercising has just become part of my daily routine! I probably work out 5-6 times a week, even if it’s just going for a short walk to get myself moving. I definitely start to get crabby if I don’t get enough exercise during the week!

Ohh the Humidity
Oh boy, is it humid!! I just ran two miles on the treadmill (in my basement) and still I’m still dripping sweat!!

The fiber bars that I usually find in stores that have this amount of calories usually have tons of additives and ingredients I cannot pronounce, so Gnu fiber bars were just what I was looking for....

Oats, Glorious Oats
Someone recently told me I should write a post all about OATS. As many of you are probably aware, oats are a pretty much a staple food in the Healthy Living Blog community. But for those of you who are new to this, I decided to write a post all about one of my favorite foods…OATS!!! Until I discovered the blog world, to me, all oatmeal was were tiny packets, that came in boxes like this: And then I finally saw the light! There is certainly nothing wrong with pre-packaged instant oatmeal, it is still healthy, but I since discovering real oatmeal, I love it so much more! There are…
