Motivation and a Good Breakfast

I wanted to share with you a couple things this morning. First, I had the best oatmeal in the world today for breakfast and I wanted to share the recipe. However, before I share that, I need to share with you how I found the recipe.

The other night I was messing around on myfitnesspal.com (mfp) and I stumbled onto a post from a woman named Raeanne. Her profile picture was enough to make my mouth drop.



She is my age, a middle school teacher, and reading her story just connected with me in so many ways. We have since connected and she has been a huge inspiration to me even in this short amount of time. She has a blog http://payfitforward.net/ that you should DEFINATELY check out at some point.

On to the oatmeal, I had been searching for a more filling healthy option for breakfast instead of just cereal when I saw Rae's video on how she makes her oatmeal. It looks yummy so I tried it this morning and it was awesome. I added one tablespoon of Wal-Mart All Natural Peanut Butter to mine and I ended up with a bowl of peanut butter r cup oatmeal for 245 calories!!! Here is the video of her making the oatmeal.

You can add in to your oatmeal whatever you like, I was just feeling the pb/choc thing this morning.

Hope you all have an active and enjoyable day!!!!
