What's better? Steel cut or rolled oats?

It's time to learn a little today!

Steel cut vs rolled oats? Which is better? While high quality oats are a healthy food (as long as you skip out on the added sugar filled mix-ins), the difference is the degree of processing. Rolled oats are steamed, rolled, steamed again and toasted... Steel cut oats are just coarsely chopped which gives them a lower glycemic index (a measurement of how much a person's blood sugar will spike after eating) So next time you're at the store, grab steel cut oats!

My latest Shakeology crush

Oh my word! This mixture is fabulous! 

1 cup of chilled black coffee 

1 scoop Shakeology 

2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk

7 ice cubes

Blend and enjoy! 

I think about this drink a lot. I could easily just have this for at least two meals a day. ;) yes, it's THAT good!

Seasoning Prep!

In order to keep myself prepared as I follow the 21 day fix meal plan, I find it helps a TON to mix up my seasonings at the beginning of the week. These can be used to season everything! 

Letting God be the author of my story

Good morning! I hope this blog finds you doing GREAT! I have created this blog to track my journey this year in health and fitness. I turned 30 in September and I feel like God is knocking on so many doors in my life. I can't wait to see what this year holds. So sit tight and join me in this journey in life! I hope I can help you out in some way by just sharing my story. Please let me know if you have any questions! I am here to help- side by side, we can DO THIS!


I am currently on week 3 of Insanity Max 30. AWESOME program, by the way! I also decided to join as a coach so I could try Shakeology out and get my discount. So far I've had it 7 days--- and I am HOOKED! I looooove it. Definitely my favorite meal of the day- and I am invested in it. So it makes me think twice before I eat crap food!

I am currently getting together a 21 Day Fix Challenge group that is managed on Facebook. Please head to my site and let me know if you would like to join! We start Febraury 9th. I'd love to meet you and help motivate you!
