Remember how I mentioned that I am trying to get ‘back to basics’ with healthy living? I’m doing things like getting in a walk during the day and focusing on whole foods. This morning I had oats in a jar – that’s back to basics and a throwback in one!
I’ve also been wearing my Fitbit to track my steps in this effort. It’s the little things, right?
And I have a super awesome giveaway for you – a waterproof Nike+ Fuel band so you can track your activity too! The band tracks your activity during the day and you can set goals and see your progress online and with their app.

It’s not just races but things like crazy obstacle courses, local beers and bar games, workouts that don’t feel like work and the sweetest new gear reviews.

for breakfast i had cereal mixed in with some chobani yogurt and fruit.
I had greek yogurt with berries.
Breakfast today was cold quinoa mixed with cinnamon and topped with almond milk and a bit of cashew butter. So good!

Watermelon, Special K cereal bar and coffee
I love oatmeal but just can’t eat it when it’s hot outside (which is a lot here in Florida). I had cereal for breakfast today. Had to be out the door by 6:30 for work so I went for the fast and satisfying easy clean up option.
Big bowl of brown rice, diced apples, raisins and honey drizzled on top. My favorite breakfast!
Crackers with PB
Would totally love to win this! Definitely motivation in the right step. Ha. I know. Good joke.
I would love to win this. I really need something to get me on track.
A spinach protein smoothie!
A protein muffin with salty TJ’s Almond Butter~ perfection.
omg I’ve been wanting one of these Nike bands since they came out but haven’t been able to justify spending the money. Crossing my fingers for this one!
Wheaties cereal and cherries!
I have a Nike Fuel Band and it is awesome. I absolutely love. Great giveaway!!
fruit!!
Koala Krisp (think chocolate rice crispies) w/ vanilla hemp milk.
^ Yup, I am a kid 🙂
Breakfast was a large latte, cinnamon bun and some m&m’s. Still refueling from my first 70.3 yesterday and allowing myself to “indulge” a little more 🙂
Email entered!
Congrat’s on your 70.3!!!!
Eh, I was signed up with BSC but unsubscribed as nothing they sent was of interest to me : (
I wasnt too hungry this morning and didnt workout this AM so I had a slice of Sprouted bread with natural PB.
I kept it simple. Spinach omelet with Ezekial cinnamon raisin english muffin on the side. Simple yet delicious 🙂
I have always wanted to try out the band! I have seen a lot of people with it but have never given it a shot! great giveaway!
Do you know if you have to wear Nike shoes with it for it to work?
^^^ That sounded like a stupid question but I knew it was like that with the Nike+ sport band so I didn’t know if it was like that with this too?
Nope!
I normally like having smaller, on the sweet side types of breakfast, normally yogurt. However, today I had a potato with an egg. Hit the spot and will probably keep me full for awhile!
I had oatmeal with egg whites and yogurt. Oh and cinnamon, lots of cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Mmmm!
Awesome giveaway! I Hope I win! Thank you!
I had a green smoothie and oats with raisins for breakfast. The smoothie helps me not sweat profusely while eating hot oats during the summer.
I ate oatmeal and a banana.
I had a really strange breakfast – a tiny sliver of leftover bacon chicken wrap and pistachios. I wasn’t feeling cooking something. 🙂
Steel cut oats, cinnamon, and blueberries 🙂
I had a piece of toasted homemade sourdough bread with butter and blackberry jam, pineapple with a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a large glass of iced coffee.
Second breakfast was a green smoothie made with watermelon, orange, Greek yogurt, and a large handful of spinach.
I had oats with peanut butter and berries mixed in. So good!
Breakfast today was tropical strawberry shakeology mixed with strawberries, bananas, milk, and chia seeds.
I have the fuel band right now but I’m planning on getting the fitbit flex soon. I like that I’ll be able to link it up to My Fitness Pal.
Greek yogurt and a whole wheat millet muffin
Sweet giveaway! I had two eggs this morning. Kinda boring, but it did the trick!
I had oatmeal with Greek yoghurt, blueberries and sunflower butter. All the things! I still enjoy hot oatmeal on a hot day, but overnight oats are gooooood.
Since my no gluten/soy/egg/dairy cleanse is finally over, I’ve had a gigantic apple and a lemon shortbread cookie so far… pumpkin Coach’s Oats later this morning!!
i have oatmeal prettty much every single morning 🙂 and if I don’t then I’ll probably have it for lunch.. haha I love making a mix of steel-cut, barley, and rolled oats !
My step-son has one of those – very cool! I had a Chobani parfait – vanilla Chobani, homemade lemon poppy seed granola with strawberries and bananas – yum!
I tagree about oatmeal not being ideal when it’s hot out. I’ve never tried overnight oats, but I really should. I started my day with a bowl of Honey Nut Chex, with almond milk.
Would love to win this! I had coffee (x2), Cherrios with hemp seeds and almond milk for breakfast after my 5:00 am swim. I didn’t grocery shop for the week yet and the pickings were slim in my house! Overnight oats sound really good, going to have to prep some tonight for sure!
Email given;)
Email given;)
I have a Nike fuelband and I LOVE it! I promise I won’t enter the give away. Haha. Who ever wins is going to be very happy! I had 2 pieces of whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter for breakfast. Then I went out and ran set a distance PR! 4 miles!
Helloooo, name twin! 😀

Awesome giveaway. Work friends have the band and I wanna join the club. Hope I win!
