Easy Energy Balls

2 cups Old Fashioned rolled oats

½ cup creamy peanut butter (no sugar added, or any nut butter or sunflower butter for nut free)

⅓ cup honey (or agave syrup for vegan) OR 2 spoonfuls of Truvia Monk Fruit Spoonable Jar

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder (optional; we use this one)*

3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Freeze the bowl for 5 minutes. 

Roll the dough into 20 small balls, pressing the dough together with your hands. We used a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop (#40) to make uniform balls. You can also make smaller balls if desired. (If the texture of your nut butter makes the dough very dry, add a little more honey or a few tablespoons milk of choice until you can press it together into a ball shape.) Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!

Fitblrs Activate!

Now that I got your attention, is anyone out there?

The more and more I share about my life on my podcast, the more I come to realize im not doing it anymore on here. I have so many memories of this place from my first shit post to my first introduction into the fitblr world and to my first live stream... I can confidently say that its because of tumblr that im more confident in putting my face out there from now on.

But where do we go from here? Im not deactivating. Too many memories for me. I've posted all my episodes on here and I feel like its all I do now.

That is until I went to go check my A1C which came back to a 6.7.

I noticed I lost a lot of weight (down 225 lbs in an unhealthy way) So the doctor upped my meds and told me I needed to start lifting weights or go walking but keep checking the sugars.

So its back to how my life was like in 2021 when I got the diabetes. I know my sugars are not going to go back down to the 100s over night but im trying. Back to eating healthier food and limiting myself from drinking anything thats not water to once a week.

And after not using it for 10 years, I reactivated my Zombies, Run! account which now has a Marvel version of the game.

This place looks like a ghost town these days. I checked my follow list and some OGs haven't updated for months, a few for a year. So if you happened to come across this post and are still around, let me know. I know I only post the episodes of the podcast but thats because I've shared my life from good or bad on here since I started and I figured I could continue to do that with the pod. And now that I have some news about my diabetes and my A1C I might continue to share those updates as well.

Maybe im the one thats "crawling out of the rubble" and there are still other fitblrs around and if so, im slowly making my way back to this place.

Eat clean, but remember to treat yourself

Work hard, but remember to rest 

Smile, but remember that it’s okay to feel down

Always listen to yourself and your body ♡

Hey there! Idk what country you live in, but your gym is probably closed because of the corona outbreak or you are bored because of staying at home to slow down the spreading of this disease. For reference or inspiration i will show you what can be done with dumbells, bodyweight and or resistance bands. You can make most exercises a bit harder or easier depending on your level of fitness, for example: pushups on the knees instead of feet or normal squats instead of pistol squats.

This home push workout is from a push/pull split. You can do it twice a week and the pull workout i havent posted yet also two times a week. So 4 workouts in total. Do 3 sets of each exercise with as many reps as possible with breaks of a few minutes in between. Without access to much equipment or heavy weights, going for sets where you almost reach muscle failure is the key to keeping or increasing muscles. If you dont have dumbbells use bags and fill them up with water bottles or weights. Be creative and have fun :)
