Sweat pink

Exciting news on my end today, guys. Last week I was approved to be a Sweat Pink Ambassador with Fit Approach and I could not be more excited! If you have been following my blog for a little while, you know that I love to get my sweat on and let's be honest how much cooler would sweat be if it was pink! Well...the more I think about it maybe not that might be weird... hmm.

Ok sorry getting off track here, Sweat Pink and the Fit Approach is a healthy community and their mission is pretty awesome:

We believe that kicking ass is best done in pretty shoes. We’ve learned that real women sweat, and sweat hard. We know that assertiveness, strength, and ambition are the ultimate feminine qualities. We concede that sometimes it takes hours to get ready, but we’re also no strangers to just rolling out of bed and going. We’re convinced that we run faster in pink shoelaces. We believe in pushing ourselves, and we believe in giving ourselves a break, too. We’re all about the rush of endorphins and the thrill of the challenge. We’re all for looking great and feeling even better. We’re committed to finding our best fit, and making it stick. We sweat pink.

Being part of the Sweat Pink ambassadors network is super exciting for me and I hope that the community of awesome women (and some men) is just another outlet I can use for motivation for myself, to help motivate others, encouragement, new sweaty workouts, and more.

In honor of sweating pink today, I obviously had to share a workout I did over the weekend with you all!

You know the drill with Tabata.  After you get a 5-10 min warm up in, do each movement for 8 rounds of 20 seconds of work with 10 seconds of rest before you move on to the next exercise. 

Here are videos for each movement if you're unsure: 

//Single leg squat

//Knee to opposite elbow

//Tricep dips

Cheers to sweating pink!

MYOATMEAL

Not sure about you guys, but I am a big breakfast fan. Big fan of breakfast...So when I had the opportunity to try out MyOatmeal via the Sweat Pink Ambassadors with Fit Approach, I couldn't pass it up. Anthony Collova is the founder of MyOatmeal - which is a website that lets you create your own combinations of oatmeal, as well as PB Lean (dehydrated peanut butter)...um yes please and yum. Anthony not only believes in providing clean, healthy oatmeal options, but also believes in the costumer and the community. 

'See, MyOatmeal.com is not only about gourmet oatmeal. There are plenty of cereal companies selling awesome products at fair prices. To me, MyOatmeal.com is more than any single company, any single product or any single person. It is about our neighborhoods, our community, or economy, our planet, and most importantly, how we treat one another. That all starts with how I treat myself, and ultimately how I treat my customers.'

Now, I was pretty pumped at the idea of creating my own flavor of oatmeal, but then when I got to the website and saw that there were so many options I was almost overwhelmed...almost. Decision making is not the strongest quality of mine, but I manged to come up with a pretty baller combination.  It might be a little weird how excited I was to create my own oatmeal, but whatever.... 

The website lets you start by picking the quantity of oats you want, what kind of oats, and then from there it's flavors and treats on flavors and treats to add. You can even have it set up so it automatically ships to your home every so often. 

The combo I finally decided on was: 

//5 grain rolled oats & flax 

//Peanut butter base

//Chipped coconut

//Ground flax seed

//Brown cane sugar granules

Pretty simple combination when you see ALL THE OPTIONS you can choose from, but sometimes I think peanut butter simple is best. 

The directions are pretty straight forward when it comes to cooking. There are options for both the stove top and the microwave. Neither option takes long to cook, so you can easily take it to the office, heat it up quickly before heading off to the gym, or use it for a post workout meal to get your healthy carbs and protein in after workouts. 

I used a 1/2 cup for my Sunday breakfast and it was the perfect amount. Brad was even a big fan too.

Just try not to drop the spoon you were using and get oatmeal EVERYWHERE. Not that I did that or anything...I suppose I can't blame Anthony for this mess either.... 

Let it sit for a few minutes to cool down and then enjoy! 

Price wise MyOatmeal is a little more expensive compared to your quick cook, sugar filled oatmeal, but overall it is worth the cost. You're getting a much higher quality of oatmeal, the ingredients are never processed, and because they are full of fiber, protein, flax, etc. you are going to stay fuller longer. Win, win, win! 

If you're a fan of oatmeal, I highly recommend checking out MyOatmeal.com! 

*Disclaimer, I was offered to try MyOatmeal in exchange for reviewing the product via the MyOatmeal team and Fit Approach! The oatmeal was given to me, but the opinions are all my own. I take breakfast very seriously.*

Cheers!
