Starting March 1st, along with eleven other ladies, I am going to do a 60 day Challenge of Insanity. I will also be replacing one meal a day with Shakeology which is a high protein nutrient-rich shake.
Each member of the challenge is going to take “before” and “after” photos and the person with the most drastic results and weight loss will win $100.
I know that I can do this. In the past I’ve always started but have never finished.
But this time is different…I don’t know why but it just is. I saw the challenge and I accepted. This is a moment for me to make big changes to my life and I am willing to do whatever it takes to get in shape and gain my confidence back. This is 60 days in a row, no exceptions…

: what on earth have i gotten myself into? →
… is all i keep thinking in regards to this “Insanity Challenge” I signed up for. Just in case anyone reading this doesn’t know what the heck i got myself into, it is this:
Starting March 1, along with seven other people, I am going to do 60 days of Insanity (intense workout DVDs that I am sure will live up to their name) and replace one meal a day with Shakeology (a high protein nutrient-rich shake). Each member of the challenge is going to take “before” and “after” photos and the person with the most drastic results and weight loss will win $100.
i CANNOT wait to start this challenge! JEN we can DO this!!

I know I’ve reblogged this before, but I still do 100 a day, and I still get some pretty awesome compliments on my butt, so they work wonders! Find a way to get them in your routines, and you’ll love what you see!

What is overnight oats?
Overnight oats (OO) is basically oats soaked in the liquid of your choice. Either milk or yogurt, but you can always experiment with other kinds. It is often chilled overnight (hence the name) and usually left uncooked. However you can heat it up if you prefer to. It is perfect for days when you are in a rush to make breakfast, just make it in a jar the day before and it’s ready to go the next day.
You can add any kinds of toppings you want to it. You can add fresh fruits, nuts, dried fruits, peanut butter, etc. Many people also add chia seeds to the overnight oats. Be adventurous and try new additions, you might be pleasantly surprised!
This is also good to put together with your kids, let them play around with their favorite toppings and learn more about fruits and nuts, etc. There’s no or minimal cooking involved, so it’s safe for them as well.
In the following list, there are several sites that provide the recipes for a basic overnight oatmeal, and if can continue from there if you want to create your own personal one-of-a-kind oatmeal. Have fun! Remember, healthy doesn’t mean boring or tasteless!

Chocolate Banana Breakfast Quinoa with Walnuts.
This is the best breakfast I’ve had in while. Don’t get me wrong - I love oatmeal and all the wonderful things you can do with it - but this is something different altogether. It doesn’t look like it makes very much, but you really don’t need much to be full!
What you will need;
- 1/3 cup quinoa;
- 2/3 cup almond milk and 1/3 cup water;
- 1 banana;
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder;
- A few shakes of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick;
- 1 tbsp walnuts, chopped;
- 1 date or a few raisins, or a few dried cranberries.
-In a saucepan, bring the quinoa, liquid and cinnamon to a boil, turning down to a low heat and allowing to simmer. Finely dice the date and throw in, giving a stir, then do not stir the quinoa again. (Or just throw in the raisins/cranberries.)
-Mash the banana and cocoa powder in a bowl, until smooth. (I added some flax and a little almond milk here for a nutritional boost, but this is optional.)
-Once the quinoa is almost done - slightly sticky rather than dry and fluffy - pour the chocolate/banana mix in to the pan and stir until combined. Add a dash of almond milk if too dry. Pour in to your bowl, top with walnuts and enjoy!
This dish has 13g of protein and 41% of your dietary fibre! Yum. :)
