Craving Me Some Cranbrownie Oats
Happy Monday Everybody! New week, new beginning. Last night I went to bed with a lot of anxiety, not sure why but I will not let it ruin my day!
When I got out of bed this morning my left IT band was very achy, I knew I needed to do some yoga and get on my foam roller. I did a nice 20 minutes of yoga poses without instruction and then worked my IT bands out with the monster roller! I felt so much better.
The inspiration for my oats this morning was this beauty:
I mixed 1 tbsp into my oats while cooking.
cinnamon
1 tbsp ground flax
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tbsp of PB2
1 tbsp TJ’s Cranberry Apple Butter
Toppings:
1/2 Brownie Z Bar
Handful of Bobbi’s Granola Greatness
1/8 cup of dried cranberries
In the NYC MUG! 
Stay tuned later this afternoon I will be posting about the Compost we built in the backyard, along with some really great SIMPLIFYING LIFE IDEAS!
How do you feel about Mondays?
NO matter how you feel, try and make it the BEST one YET! Life is for living, so go out and do what you LOVE!
P.S. If you missed it this weekend check out my April Featured Foodie Fridge!

Grr this monday didnt start off too well here! I hate waking up in the middle of the night and having trouble going back to sleep. And its monday ...
What awesome oats! I think I need to buy a foam roller, where did you pick yours up?
i love how you enjoyed your meal outside! :)
Aww, I love your advice. I will definitely try to make this Monday a great one!
That breakfast looks so good! dessert-like yet healthy! my kind of breakfast!
Thanks for being so positive Bobbi!
Love "The Simple Life" button on your side bar!!! I always try to live life quite simply...hence my blog title, but it's not always easy!
beautiful oats! i love the new button. I wish I could do more in the challenge, but this month has a road trip almost every weekend, plus we don't live in a place where can bike anywhere - if you want to go anywhere from our house, it's all highway through the mountains, which is not safe or smart considering there's no bike lanes.
You are so right. I always dread Mondays and during the day I always think about how far away the weekend is.
One thing that helps me is that I do my workout schedule from M-Sun and I LOVE looking at my schedule and seeing all the new things I get to do and I get excited about pushing myself this week.
Happiness Awaits
YUM great looking oatmeal!! i'm very excited about your SL challenge!!! hope you have a great monday!
Love the button!! Usually I really like Mondays because I'm off work but not today:( Breakfast looks yummy! I love the brownie zbars!
Composts are so easy, yet few people actually use one. Can't wiat to read all about it.
That looks yummy! You are so awesome about getting up early to take care of yourself, and blog for us!
Happy Monday :)
I love the "brownie" on the oats!
Those are some good looking oats. I'm not a big fan of mondays, but they could be worse.
Your oats looks wonderful. I would have never thought to put a Clif Zbar in it... very nice!
