Overnight Oats part 2!

A while back I posted about trying overnight oats for the first time.  It was a big hit with my daughter and I try to make it every week so she can have it in the mornings.  I like to have it once or twice a week myself instead of my usual shake.

But as anyone on the west coast can tell you we have been having an insane heat wave and the thought of eating something warm in the mornings was just not doing it for me.  So I saw a post a friend of mine made about overnight oats in the fridge that you eat cold and I thought I would give it a try.  OH MY GOODNESS was it amazing!!!  I literally did not want to stop eating it.

Here is the recipe for you all to try.  It really is hearty and yummy and healthy!  It hits the spot for sure, and keeps you satisfied like a good breakfast should.  And did I mention it is pretty much grab and go?  Which is KEY for us busy moms.

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup almond milk
1 TBSP honey
1 TBSP chia seeds
2/3 cup frozen or fresh fruit

Combine all ingredients except fruit into a bowl and stir well.  Pour half the mixture into a mason jar and top with fruit.  Repeat layers, put the lid on and put it in the fridge overnight.  It stores well for at least 5 days.  You can mix it up any way you want it really.  Peanut butter, cocoa powder, various fruits.  The choices really are endless.  Enjoy!!

Girls (and boys) just wanna have fun!!

According to a survey done by The Athletic Footwear Association, the #1 reason kids play their favorite sport is TO HAVE FUN!!! Sure we want to be sure they are picking up skills and putting in a good effort, BUT if they are not having fun they will NOT keep playing! 

Very good read if you have a minute....

Keep up the great work Sports Moms!

As Sports Moms we know that involving our children in youth sports is beneficial.  It is one of the reasons we sacrifice so much for them to participate.  But did you know.....

Kids who play youth sports are less likely to:
-break the law or go to prison
-join a gang
-abuse alcohol or drugs
-abuse sex or become pregnant
-skip class
-have discipline problems in school
-drop out of school

Kids who play youth sports are more likely to:
-perform well in school
-have higher grades on national tests
-graduate from high school
-go to college
-become and remain employed
-become directors and managers
-become business and political leaders
-contribute to society by participating in social and charitable programs

The next time you are sitting in traffic, rushing from school to practice - keep this in mind.  You are helping to shape your child's future.  And THAT is worth all of the sacrifice in the world :)

I am currently looking for busy Moms who would love to turn their passion for sports/fitness into a second (or primary) source of income.  Bonus - you get to work on your own health and fitness in the process!!

What can YOU accomplish in 21 Days?

If I told you I had a program that would give you a fool proof, portion controlled meal plan that was as simple to follow as putting food in color coordinated containers, would you be interested?

If I told you I had a program that would give you 30 minute workouts but deliver the results of 1 to 2 hour workout sessions, would you be interested?

If I told you I had a program that lasted ONLY 21 days, but where you lost 5-10 pounds in those 21 days would you be interested?

If I told you I had a program that combined ALL THREE of the above into one simple program would you......never mind......of course you would!!!

Fit Mom Virtual Boot Camp

The Sacrificial Sports Mom’s 

Fit Mom Virtual Boot Camp

Sports Moms are constantly on the go.  Shuttling kids between practices, picking up sports equipment, attending parent meetings, etc.  Add on top of this regular “mom duties” – errands, laundry, cooking, cleaning, work, social life (haha) – the list goes on and on.  So where in all of this do you find time for YOU?

A healthy and happy mom equates to a thriving family.  How can you be “go go go” if you are too tired and sluggish to get anything done?  How can you be the best example for your kids if you are unhappy or just not feeling like you are at your best?

Like it or not, Moms are the center of our families.  We are the boss, the nurse, the therapist, the police, the taxi – we are everything to everyone in our families.  If we are taking care of all of those things, who is taking care of us?  We need to make time for ourselves, make fitness and nutrition a priority so that we have a strong foundation to build on and the endurance to get it all done!

There are so many things to take into consideration when putting together a program that delivers results - how many calories do you need to sustain your energy yet lose weight, what types of foods will provide adequate nutrition, what types of workouts should you do?  Forget trying to figure all of that on your own, The Sacrificial Sports Mom has developed a formula that is designed to get you the best possible results for busy Moms like you:

FITNESS + NUTRITION + SUPPORT = SUCCESS

FITNESS 

You and I will work together to choose a fitness solution that meets your needs and that will assist you in achieving your goals. There are quite a few fitness packages available for The Fit Mom Boot camp, although I find there are 2-3 that are perfect for busy moms because they fit into our busy lives. These Boot camp programs are quick-hitting programs that can be completed in your own home at any time of the day you choose! No taking time out of our busy days to drive to the gym; no trying to juggle your schedule to make the 5:30 class. This is important so you can focus your time on being a supportive SportsMom.

NUTRITION

All Fit Mom Boot Camp programs include a nutrition guide that has been prepared by a team of nutritionists. Why is this important? Because nutrition is 90% of the battle. Your Boot Camp package also includes a 30-day supply of a Super-Food meal replacement/nutrition supplement that contains over 70 natural, nutritious ingredients picked from the most fertile soils from around the world. Nothing artificial!!  This is important because we want you to get off on the right foot – especially during those first 30 days when you will need it the most.

SUPPORT

When you join the 30 Day Fit Mom Boot Camp, you will receive 1 on 1 peer support from a busy Sports Mom who understands how crazy our schedules can get.  As a community, we will work to achieve your fitness and nutrition goals. When you choose to be a member of the Fit Mom Boot Camp, you will be part of a community of busy moms committed to a balanced approach to fitness in order to be the healthiest mom you can be. This support system has been set up to ensure accountability and success for all, giving you a lifetime of a better/healthier you.

SUCCESS

When FITNESS + NUTRITION + SUPPORT come together, they create results!! By joining in the Sacrificial Sports Mom Boot Camp, you will have access to all three elements on a daily basis. No matter if you would like to lose weight, increase lean muscle or just be healthier overall; the proven formula of the Fit Mom Boot camp will give you the tools to get you the results you deserve. The only thing missing is YOU!!!
