Pre-workout yummies!

{need to take pictures, will soon}

Wondering what to eat before working out? Like a recipe per say? Hmm... Well you came to the right place! One hard part about losing weight is knowing what to eat and when.  And also making something that tastes good and is satisfying. So here's my blog post of what I like to have/why its good for a pre-workout. 

So my schedule is I wake up around 9 or 11 (not an early bird) I also go to the gym in that time frame. So morning mid evening. Now the most important thing for weight loss is to prepare your meals. (Sounds so complicated! I know! But its not) So what I do the night before is get oatmeal started. 

This is how: In a bowl I mix 1/4 cup oats, 1/4 almond milk, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 smashed banana. Mix all together & then put in the fridge {covered} overnight.

Why oatmeal? Oatmeal boosts your energy level. & what people need to understand is carbs aren't scary! Carbs give you a better ability to to perform better in your exercises. Doctors have found people on low carb or no carb diets tend to suffer from light headedness, weakness, & fatigue. That is NOT how we should feel. We should always feel GREAT and energized and happy! Don't make a silly diet make you feel otherwise. It all makes sense! Our bodies need access to fast burning energy which is precisely what carbs are!  

Then in the morning is when the magic happens! I put my oatmeal over the stove and I add Apples, Peanut Butter, & Cinnamon for taste. 

Why apples? 

Because fruit provides a natural sugar that helps your body convert that sugar into fuel. They do say that an apple also gives you more energy than a cup of coffee! 

Why peanut butter?

Rich in protein & easily digestible! & yummy. ;) 

Have with some Green Tea which is full of antioxidents to help rid of those toxins! 

Hope you enjoy this post! I'm off to the gym weeeee.
