Today I had cookies for breakfast. (What?! I thought you were trying to be healthy?) Well, I am and these are! They’re “cookies” made from just bananas and oats - so simple! No sugar, no flour, no eggs… thank you to The Burlap Bag for creating these! I love having these in the kitchen because I eat them for breakfast or as a snack and I don’t feel guilty for eating five. (That’s about half a banana and a third-ish cup of oats? Maybe? You get the point.)
This morning I was racing against the clock and rushed making these so I literally only used 2 ingredients. But before I’ve added chocolate chips and have since then started a list of different cookie combos I want to make. What is/are your favorite kind(s) of cookies? I want to add some of your favorites to my list. :)
Helpful tips:
Make sure your bananas are ripe! // The first time I made these I was so anxious to try this recipe but my bananas weren’t ready so it tasted a bit off.
You may need to add more oats. // This depends on the length of your bananas so adjust accordingly if the consistency seems too wet.
Add vanilla extract. // If the taste is too plain for you, vanilla extract can help add more flavor.

When Lance Armstrong fell from grace a few weeks ago, I didn’t really care. I’ve always appreciated him for the icon he is, for the modern miracle of his health and success, but when I think of Lance Armstrong, I think of three things: bracelets, Michelob Ultra, and high-fiving Matthew…

Convo With Mom About My Work Out
- Mom: Son, you need to stop working out.
- Me: What? Why? I'm slowly reaching my goals. I got 20 to 30 lbs left to go.
- Mom: But your legs...(Looks at my legs)
- Me: What about them? (Look at my own legs)
- Mom: They're getting veiny.
- Me: So?
- Mom: It's like your vein is going to rupture. It's like painting a target and letting someone who wants to hurt you know where to cut you with a knife.
- Me: Then hopefully my legs are strong enough to help me run away quickly before all that!
- Mom: ...
- Me: -____-
I started around 210 lbs 5 months ago. Today, I am 182.5 lbs. My goal is to weigh in between 155-165 lbs. #workout #goals #health #fitness (Taken with Instagram at 24 Hour Fitness)
That awesome moment when you fit in a pair of jeans you had never fit before.
Back in May, I had a size 36 waist. My best friend, Michael, had me work out like crazy by providing me with a fitness and diet plan when I joined 24 Hour Fitness. Around July, he gave me a pair of his old size 32 jeans as a symbol of motivation. He said that by September, I should be able to fit it. Challenge accepted.
While I still have awhile to go with my fitness goals, today, I actually fit Michael’s old pair of jeans! I feel accomplished. I still have about 30 pounds to lose before I fully accomplish my goals.
