Apple Pie Oats: Day 3 #feelgoodblogging

As the weather starts getting cooler, the more I want comfort foods. Although Florida is still pretty warm out, there is nothing that makes me happier than feeling the crisp fall air, rumbling of the leaves on the ground, and of course, everything pumpkin!! I am even lucky enough this fall to experience the northern version twice this year, by going to Grand Rapids Michigan last weekend, and then my hometown, Buffalo NY, next weekend! Who doesn’t love to go pick some fresh apples to enjoy in your breakfast oatmeal?

Sticking with the fall theme, I want to share with you my breakfast of the week, because let’s be real, everyone loves a simple breakfast!

So, let’s get started with what you need:
– 1 small-medium apple, preferably McIntosh or granny smith
– 1/4 cup steel cut oats, or old-fashioned oats work as well
– 1 tbsp cinnamon
– 1/4 cup water
– 1/4 cup almond milk
– almond extract
– chopped walnuts(optional)

Directions:
1. Cut apple into cubes, leave some of apple cut into thin slices, about 3-4 will do.
2. Place oats, apple cubes, water, almond milk, cinnamon, and a dash of almond extract into bowl.
3. Place in microwave for 2-3 minutes to warm.
4. Once done, take out of microwave, and top with chopped walnuts and apple slices for a little fancy touch!
5. Enjoy your apple pie oats!!!

Looking to spice up this recipe a little bit? Swap the apples for 1/4 cup of pure pumpkin puree. Top with a little nutmeg and pumpkin spice and you have yourself some healthy pumpkin pie

A Simple Introduction: Day 1 #feelgoodblogging

 

 

Hey all, it’s been a while!! I’ve decided to get back into blogging by starting a 7 day challenge with Alex Beadon.  We we’re asked to answer 5 short questions, so here goes nothing!

Who Am I?

I’m Courtney Przepasniak, or Prze for short. Gotta love those long Polish last names. ;) I am an alumni of Flagler College with my bachelors in business administration, and a minor in marketing. I was born and rated in Buffalo, NY, but now reside in Jacksonville, FL. Although being close to palm trees and the beach is great, I truly miss seasons and everything about Buffalo, from the food to family/friends to watching my Buffalo Bills on home turf. On the side, I teach a group fitness class, PiYo Strength: Live, which is all about combining Pilates and yoga into one, while also having continuous fluid movements. It’s such a great workout for lengthy, while also leaning out our muscles at the same time.

Why did I start blogging?

I know it’s been a while but I originally started blogging as a way to track my fitness journey  with others. I also wanted something I could look back at over time and see my thoughts and progress, while also sharing recipes with others.

Who is my blog for?

Previously, my blog would be for anyone looking to start their fitness journey and wanting someone to relate to. It could have also been those who we’re looking for a clean eating type recipe. Now, as time progresses and I start training for my first marathon, I want my blog to be for those also training, wanting to see how the process goes for a first timer. I am also a heal and fitness coach so I want people to use my page as a resource when they want to get started with a program, and looking for some extra motivation and coaching through it!

What is something you’re proud of?

As I mentioned before, I am a health and fitness coach through Beachbody. Never did I think that in my 20s, I would be a business owner with these wonderful opportunities, all while helping others. To tell you the truth, I never picked myself to be in entrepreneur in general! Pretty crazy to me. I am also proud for taking a leap out of my comfort zone to recommit to God, after nang years of not going.

What do I want my followers to get?

For my followers, I want to know, you are not alone. There is someone out there, struggling or going through something just like you. Don’t give up on a goal because you don’t think it can be achieved. Dream big, and high can accomplish anything you set your mind to!

Thats it for today folks! See you tomorrow :)

It’s HHH Training Time!

HAPPY THURSDAY!

A little over a month ago, I signed up to be a beachbody coach. This means when people purchase a program such as p90x, insanity, the NEW t25, etc, they get me as a FREE coach, to help them with accountability and reaching their goals.

Since I’ve been able to help out a couple people this far, I decided now to get my hip hop hustle instructor certification which is a program Chalene Johnson came up to put in gyms! It is mix of hip hop, Zumba, and kickboxing. I am SO EXCITED for this training in Orlando on Saturday with the fabulous Alli Upham.

Since I’ve been making money just by HELPING OTHERS, I was able to use money I’ve made through that versus using money from my current 9-5 job. Well, if it weren’t for beachbody and that money, there is no way this broke girl would even be able to have this opportunity. I am incredibly grateful and I didn’t even have to put it on a credit card to accrue more debt. Thank goodness!!

I’ll keep you posted on this journey. I promise to get back into blogging with y’all and sharing my stories more often!! :)

Drum Roll Please….

It gives me GREAT pleasure to announce that I am now offically a BeachBody COACH! I cannot wait to help people better their lives, get healthy, and so much more!! BeachBody is the company that sells very well known workout and nurtitional programs, whether it be P90X, insanity, shakeology(amazing meal replacing shakes in 3 different flavors). The list is endless and there is truly something from EVERYONE out there who wants to start leading a healthier lifetsyle. I couldn’t be more excited to help you all while also doing what I love, working on my fitness.

Not to mention, I could not have picked a better team to represent. I just signed up yesterday and I’ve already received such a warm welcome, its incredible and an amazing feeling. :)
