I am loving that fact… that so many of you were loving my post on numbers. Your comments have helped me to better identify where I am at – as far as my personal struggles and progress are regarding numbers.
I feel like I am struggling to find the balance.. between good numbers.. and bad numbers. Numbers - have ruled my life for too long. So – in an attempt to overcompensate and try and rid myself of this ruling, I have begun to classify ALL numbers as bad. NOT SO.
Numbers – can be motivated.. like PRing while running. Or having negative splits.
It is when the thoughts become overwhelming .. and consuming – that it is unhealthy.
Katie – From Yes I Want Cake (who doesn’t, right).. had a comment that really hit home – on how much MORE energy it took her to rid herself of the ever consuming obsessions of numbers. It is really difficult to “untrain” your mind – after it has been SO accustumed to doing something for so long.
But enough with the numbers. I know what you are really here for..
Take two of the vlog for my overnight oat making routine was a success!
If you view this video and follow the instructions carefully.. the result will be goodness similar to this:
Well .. a semi success.. but it is enough of a success for me to share it with you! Now – you will get a peak into what I do everyday when I come home from school.
Fact – Justin was home early from work today.
Fact – I made him sit in the other room – with the door closed.
Fact – I made him wear head phones and listen to music so he couldn’t hear me.
Fact – It took over 2 hours to upload this video to Youtube. When it says 137 minutes remaining.. IT REALLY MEANS 137 MINUTES REMAINING.
Fact – I was very angered – when after trying to install all the updates (all 19 of them) to my mac.. hoping I would be able to get a faster uploading tool – it still didn’t work. So – I had to start my upload ALL over again. Losing the 15% of the upload that had already been completed prior to installing updates.
Fact – Today is Flag Day.

I’ve only tried overnight oats and it was no where near as involved as that- maybe that’s why they were so nasty. I just don’t know about this. I should at least give it a try- but I don’t think I have the time or the patience to do all this prep work. I prefer to pour my oatmeal in a bowl, pour some water on it, and stick it in the microwave.. .. Maybe on a weekend I can try it out..
I used to feel the same way and wanted nothing to do with all the prep. But then I did it a couple of times. and it kind of became a part of my routine. I also put together my lunch while I am doing it.. so I feel like I get a lot of stuff out of the way.
Yum!!! Your VLOG made me hungry
Those look yummy – I’ll definitely give them a try!
I am quite sorry uploading this video was such a pain in the butt, but I am glad you did! I shall give your method a try fo sho
I just read the post on numbers and of course can relate to so much of what you are saying. And I agree, choosing to go without them is so much harder and more terrifying! I am tired of being consumed by them though…
It is exhausting.. the whole number bid. I think everyone has their breaking point..when its just like.. okay ENOUGH!
Videos are a pain to upload. I didn’t realize it would take that long either the first time I did one. Now I know and plan ahead! Nice work
Yes now I will totally plan ahead! I was waiting and waiting untli so late! I Never post that late at night!
I loved your video and I vote that you do more vlogs!
Send some topics my way and I gladly will!
Whoh! 2 hours?! That is crazy!!! I’m so sorry that it took so long! Good job though!
Ugh I know right.. WAY too long. It got me so antsy!
I’ve never seen/heard of overnight oats that are cooked! I always make mine/see them just equal portions oats/milk/yogurt mixed together
2 hours? Crazy town!
I tried theo ther way.. and just didn’t like them. These.. taste better to me. Personal preference!
Congrats on your first Vlog! I love it.
Thanks!
Yay first vlog done and dusted! Nice work!
Will be trying those soon! And i’m the same with blackberries, your right there always seems to be so many of them in the frozen bags!? :/
I think blackberries are just overall hated.. and they have nothing else to do withthem! I threw out my last bag of Frozen fruit (near empty) with like tons of Blackberries still left!
Great vlog! I LOVE seeing bloggers come to life!
Lately I’ve been making the Fitnessista’s Breakfast Cookie because it takes me seriously 3 minutes to prepare the night before. Your oats look delicious and I love your trick of adding more water to make the voluminous. I’ll definitely try these soon and I’ll let you know how I like them!
P.S. I’m not a huge fan of blackberries either. I hate how the seeds get stuck in my teeth! lol
Yay I hope you do try them!
I haven’t had one of Gina’s Breakfast cookies… yet. Maybe one day when I am feeling extra adventurous. HAHA
Ahh, Cait! I love your vlog! Particularly the no blood in the oats part. I must say, though, that watching you put your hair back with a knife in your hand it scary! Thank God I know you’re okay before I see it

Have you ever put chia seeds in your overnight oats? Just curious how that would work overnight, not just on the stove.
