Home sweet home. I loved waking up in my own bed and enjoying a homemade breakfast with a pug sleeping on my lap. It doesn’t get better than that! 
This morning, I enjoyed a wonderful bowl of overnight oats and a glass of toasted coconut iced coffee with vanilla soymilk.
In the mix:
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup oat bran
- 1/2 cup vanilla soymilk
- 1/4 cup water
- Walnuts
- Chocolate-covered cranberries
- Barney Butter
I’ve been meaning to write this post for awhile, so I apologize if it seems a bit random or out of place. Even still, I swear it’ll be fun! 
I wrote this post while participating in a blog campaign by Kraft’s Crystal Light Pure Fitness and FitnessMagazine.com compensated me for my participation in this project. Opinions expressed are all my own.
80′s Fitness Fads
As you know, I recently made three workout videos for Fitness Magazine where we tried some fun, new fitness trends: hula hooping, retro–robics, and belly dancing workouts. You can see me in action here!
I had a ton of fun trying the new workouts. I especially liked hula hooping because it reminded me of being a kid and playing outside in the yard. How fun were some of those toys we had as kids?! I’d play and play and not even realize that I was exercising. For instance, Get In Shape Girl was one of my favorite “games.” I actually blogged about my love for it back in March.
Besides Get In Shape Girl, I loved my Pogo Ball.
And Skip-It. Remember this thing?
My sister actually owned the Skip-It, so, of course, there were plenty of fights over it. She was actually really, really good at it, and I’d always steal it from her and try to beat her score, but I never even came close.
And, of course, there was the Pocket Rocker.
On the website with my exercise videos, you can enter to win $500 in the Fitness Magazine and Crystal Light Pure Fitness sweepstakes. All you need to do is answer “What’s your best trick for staying hydrated?” Seems easy enough, right?

I LOVE that you still have a Pocket Rocker. I seriously think the 80′s had the best music but um, that’s probably because I grew up in the 80′s LOL.
Toasted Coconut coffee is my all time fav coffee!
dancing sounds like it would be really fun and not even like a workout…
that pogo ball thing looks pretty interesting too….
my favorite way to stay hydrated is eating “water food” like oraanges and melon
sneaky sneaky
Umm I DEFINITELY had the Skip It AND Pogo Ball, loved them both like crazy. In high school one of my friends found her old Pocket Rocker and we were pretty obsessed.
I remember watching “Mousercise” at like 6 AM on the Disney Channel when I was a kid. Mickey and Minnie doing aerobics with a bunch of spandex-clad kids. Best thing ever.
toasted coconut iced coffee – MMM!
I used to LOVE my skip-it! Except I would swing it so fast it would spin in the air…thus making the counting meter off haha
My favorite was my roller skates!
I loved the skip it. I was skip it queen at my school. I could do it fast and I could jump it when others were doing it. Mine was yellow and pink and I loved it until the movers broke it in one of our many childhood moves.
The oatmeal looks really good and thick. I think I will try this combo.
I remember getting a skipit as a gift for finishing some elementary grade. I was so excited it was such a big deal! And then I always tripped and ended up bashing it off my foot, ankle or shin. Ouch!
I loved trampolines. I remember my friend had a huge one that we would seriously spend hours on! We were just playing, but jumping on those things is a serious workout!
I also thought that was an egg yolk in your bowl in the 1st pic!
