Listen to me on the radio tomorrow!

So, I was just going about my day off today when I got a direct message on Twitter from my boss. (I work in social media; that’s how we roll.) He said that someone might want to talk to me about promoting health and fitness online. A little while later, I got another direct message and hopped on the phone with Tonya Hall, who hosts a radio show covering social media. 

I’m going to be on her show tomorrow morning at 10am Eastern talking about this here blog, health/fitness and social media and how I parlayed blogging about health and fitness into a career doing social media for major consumer magazines. You can listen here. This is only my second radio interview ever, so I’m excited/nervous! (The first one was when I lived in DC, talking about new media and politics.)

So, clearly I had Pump to celebrate, minus the cheese. (I can’t find my memory cards from my camera, so this is a recycled photo.)

And now I’m off to yoga. Between being nervous for this interview and the uneasiness I’ve had waiting to find out whether I have celiac or not, I NEED IT.

Coconut Overnight Oats

This picture may look similar to my other overnight oats photos, but it is SO DIFFERENT!

  • It’s at home! (I have a summer Friday today! For those not in the know, summer Fridays were invented by the publishing industry to create a sense of euphoria in its underpaid masses for three paid Fridays off every summer, thus forgetting about said underpaidness.)
  • It’s a new oatmeal I requested a sample of for my OpenSky store*. It’s my first time trying it, but it seems pretty good!
  • I also used a sample of COCONUT BUTTER I requested.

So in the mix: 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup almond milk (YUM), 1 banana, 1/2 cup blueberries (approx), 1 teaspoon soynut butter (I’m really not as into it as I am into sunflower seed butter, but I don’t want to waste it…) and 1 teaspoon coconut butter.

*As you know, I never want to be a product whore, and I will never talk positively about something I don’t agree with just because it was free. (See: SlimFast; see also: my disclaimer) But I did want to sell more than just a foam roller, so I asked for some products to try. They were both legitimately yummy, so I have no problem recommending them wholeheartedly.
