Very Berry Overnight Oats

Ho-lee SHIT! Man, I've made overnight oats before, but they were always just kinda bland...until my most recent overnight oats experiment. I present to you my Very Berry Overnight Oats:

1/3 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup greek yogurt
1/3 cup almond milk
1 tsp. chia seeds
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
raspberries and blueberries*

*Berries of choice. I really didn't measure the berries. And notice how I didn't add any stevia, or agave nectar to my mix. Why? Because fruits already have sugar as it is.

Mix the oats, greek yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, and cinnamon. If you want a more "liquidy", go ahead and pour some more almond milk into the mixture. Pour the mixture in an air tight container (glass or plastic). I layered my mixture as if it were a parfait. Refrigerated overnight. I left it for 12 hours. And, ta-da!! Devour it like there's no tomorrow!

Enjoy!!

On Today's Plate: Double Whammy!!

Day 1: Mission Accomplished

Part 1: The Workout Bit:

Today was my BJJ day. Usually on Saturdays I wake up early, and, if I'm not scheduled to work that day, I attend my jiu jitsu practice. So, from approximately 9:00am til 1:00pm, I'm warming up, doing some cardio, some techniques, some grappling, etc. By the end of practice we're all scattered around the mats looking like sweaty squashed bugs. lol. Normally after BJJ, I just go home, and nap for a while. Today was a little different.

Last night one of my friends had the brilliant idea to go to the gym today. I was a little hesitant to say yes, since BJJ is exhausting. I agreed to it anyway, a little more cardio never hurt anybody, right? A little side note before I continue with my story. I was talking to my friend, and he tells me that he can lose weight faster than me. heh...I can get a little bit, what's the word, competitive at times. As soon a he said that I took it as a challenge. Now I have to prove to him how wrong he is/was/and will be. But yeah, a little more cardio never hurt anybody, right? Last night all I could think of was how tired I was gonna be after bjj and how I was just gonna slack off at the gym later. Since I remembered how I wanted to beat him at this competition (that only exists in my head, and he has no idea that's going on, lol), I made a little routine for today.

I started of by running internals for 20 minutes. Started out with 2 minutes of a brisk walk, then ran at 5mph for 3 minutes, and then ran at 6.5 mph for a minute. And you get the gist of it. And then...oh just look at the pic :P

I was tired, drenched in sweat, but I felt revitalized and glad to be back in the gym.

Part 2: Food Bit:

Breakfast: oatmeal
Snack: organic peanut butter on organic whole wheat crackers, and sliced bananas
Lunch: chicken and corn on the cob (no butter) -- kind of a late lunch too
Snack: plum
Dinner: _____

It's too late for me to make myself dinner (it's 11:15pm). The gym kind of interrupted my 6 meals a day thing. boo :P

I think that's all for today. Tomorrow...CARDIO!
