Day 177: Day 1 - Week 2 - C25K = SUCCESS!!


I am pleased to announce that I survived day 1 of week 2 C25K = 90 sec run / 2 min walk for 20 minutes. Dad, aka: coach, was a huge help. I trailed behind him, but I didn't stop!!

Came in and used my juicer to make 8 oz of fresh organic apple juice and had the BEST breakfastever: cold oats. I will post the recipe below:


To make cold oatmeal, you can prepare it the night before or you can prepare it the morning of. I never think far enough ahead to prepare it the night before, so I use chia seeds to thicken it--it only takes about 10 minutes that way. If you don't use chia seeds, you can either reduce the liquid by about half, or you can let it sit overnight to soak up the liquid.

For cold oats, I combine in a bowl: 40 grams (about 1/2 cup) old-fashioned oats, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1 Tbsp. chia seeds, and a teaspoon of maple syrup. (If you are soaking the oats overnight, you can leave out the chia seeds). This recipe comes from Katie of Runs for Cookies.
