This is Dynamite speaking...

Today, I woke up not feeling so well... nothing a bowl of oatmeal can't fix.  Sadly, I ran out of soy milk yesterday and I'm not a big fan of only using water in my oats.  I had to improvise.

I've recently discovered Spinning.  I love it!  This morning, I went spinning and was told I don't give myself enough credit for how strong I am; therefore, I had to crank up the resistance and the pace.  I was dying.  The trainer decided to name me "Dynamite" and continued pointing me out to go harder.  Needless to say, I got a great workout... probably the most intense workout that I've had in years.  She said she will expect to see me next week, and that she will!

Starting the day right

Okay, so I am completely obsessed with my oatmeal. For the past 7 or so months I have had oatmeal almost every morning. I have tried to eat other things for breakfast, but then my tummy rumbles an hour later. I was never really an oatmeal person before, but I was known to use the prepackaged "quick" oats every once in a while. Since making my own oatmeal everymorning, I have never and will never look back! For a while, I didn't even eat breakfast because it seemed to make me hungrier than if I didn't eat.  Now, I am full until lunch time!

My first blog

I have wanted to start a blog for a couple of years now, but I never knew where to start! I'm having a really hard time committing to a name for the blog haha.
