Nothing like a swift 4 miles before starting the day!!
Emily and I pounded them out before the sunrise and I am SO EXCITED to have ran already!! Makes the whole day seem brighter 🙂 I really miss AM workouts!! Going to make more of an effort to do them these next 2 weeks. That time of day is my favorite and the world is just so pleasant.
Breakfast time!
Still on the hunt for cool eatingware for you guys!!

A Teenage Gourmet (Sami) says
Those bowls remind me of open sky’s design. 🙂 Have a great day!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
Those cherries look delish in there. Gotta try some cherries in my oats!
Hannah says
For those of us in other countries where Voskos doesn’t exist, how big is a container of it? (and thereby how much yogurt would i use to equal 1/2 a container for this mix?) Thank you so much 😀
Kath says
It was about 1/3 a cup of yogurt.
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I’m eating overnight oats too as I type this 🙂 AM workout really are the best- I love starting my day on the right foot! Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday.
j says
I get up at 5am every day (except Saturday) to get my workout in. I feel it helps me make better food choices through out the day knowing that I don’t want to undo my hard work with bad food! You definately have to be a morning person to adopt this healthy habit!
Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches says
I wish I could get up easier in the morning for AM workouts! The idea of it seems so nice…and I know I’m going to have to start embracing them once I get up to three hour long runs in the middle of August during marathon training. But for now, I just can’t seem to resist bounding out of bed and into the kitchen for breakfast.
Naomi (onefitfoodie) says
mmm cherries!! i cant wait to see what flat ware you find!! i am obsessed with it! 🙂 those bowls are so cute too!!!
i totally agree AM workouts ROCK! I am already done and showered and its 7:55 am!! i love it
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
AM workouts are the best! I always fit mine in before breakfast 🙂
Love those bowls, they’re so elegant looking!
Runeatrepeat says
I am all about the morning runs. It’s the only way I roll ( I mean, run…).
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
I completely, 100% agree—nothing beats a morning workout before the day has even officially started. It’s such a great way to start a fresh new day. 😀
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
I’m chwoing down on some overnight oats right now! First successful attempt!! (all the others turned out too watery). Very yummy! and that bowls pretty 🙂 ll your eatingware’s so cool
Jenny says
eXercise is the best way to start the day! Bet that Biscoff doesn’t hurt, either!
Angie says
Ha–I thought the cherries in your oatmeal were olives.
Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life says
Love an AM workout…on my way to start one right now! 🙂
The oats in your overnight oats look pretty dry…do you usually stir them into the liquid to absorb some of it, or do you prefer them dry? Either way, it looks delish!
Kath says
I’m not quite sure what you mean about preferring them dry? But I do stir the yogurt/milk/oats at night before putting in fridge.
Veggielady4life says
I agree with you! AM workouts always make me so much happier! Glad to see you got one in this morning!
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday says
What is the volume of one of those bowls??
Kath says
I’m not 100% sure because i haven’t measured, but I think about 3 cups
Marina says
I had an early run too this morning, it’s great to get your workout before the heat hits!
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
I love getting my workouts done in the peaceful morning. I actually just finished mine and now it’s time to get ready for work.
Wei-Wei says
My mom doesn’t feel safe with me and morning workouts 🙁 I have to get on the school bus at 6.40 every morning, which means I’d be exercising in the dark. She’s scared for me! How do you deal with it in the winter in the morning, if it’s still dark outside? Do you just go to the gym instead?
Have a great day today! 🙂
Wei-Wei
Kath says
I don’t go by myself in the dark either. Winter AM workouts outside aren’t that common for me.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I skipped the AM workout this morning, but I am going to get it in soon! I think I may make my first attempt at overnight oats today! Have a great day Kath!
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
I wish I could just take a swift 4 mile run before work – but alas…I have terrible lungs. They fail me long before the rest of my body does.
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
way to bust out those miles…i wish i had more discipline and a schedule more conducive to getting up earlier! the morning is the best time to work out for sure 🙂
Brittany @ A Healthy Slice of Life says
I do love getting workouts check off the list in the morning… but I love sleep too, so my work outs usually come in the afternoon 🙂
Helen says
The bowls look really cute actually! What a great discount. I need to try overnight oats soon but I keep forgetting each evening!
Dale says
How do I access the 5$ off on the bowls when I put them in my shopping cart it doesn’t come up.
Thanks
Mrs Dale Wheeler
Kath says
You put the coupon code in when you check out 🙂
Melissa @ For the Love of Health says
I whole-heartedly agree with you! I recently started the early morning workouts since I have been sleeping a bit better and have been able to get up and it feels so amazing and the day is just better!
Amazing looking oats and great bowls!!
Brittany says
Cherries are such a great addition to overnight oats!
I love early morning workouts as well. I feel like I have all the energy in the world – so long as I go to bed early enough. 🙂
Little Bookworm says
Those bowls look lovely, so does the overnight oats!
Lisa(LaH)h says
Love the bowls. And AM workouts are the best– nothing like working out first thing, then being able to have your biggest meal!
Danielle (Runs on Green) says
That Starbucks instant coffee isn’t bad at all! It’s better than some fresh coffee I’ve had…
Have a good day!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I love the feeling of getting a morning workout in and having it done. But by mid afternoon I’m dragging since I stay up so late working. I tried it for a month and just can’t do it. So I stick to my early evening workouts and totally admire people who can get up that early and do it.
The Wife of a Dairyman says
Love early morning workouts. I go to Boot Camp class at 5:30am three days a week and I’m SO happy to be done by breakfast time. It’s the best feeling isn’t it.
Love the bowls:)
Jo says
Thanks for this post. You ladies inspired me to get up and run this morning!
Beth @ DiningAndDishing says
I love starting the day with a good work-out :). Then all day I can think about all the FUN things I can do with the rest of my time! It is the BEST way to kick-off a healthy, happy day 🙂
AllieNic (Frisky Lemon) says
I wish I could get my bum out of bed at 5:30am! I used to do it all the time– exercising before work makes the day seem so much longer (in a good way!) I always feel refreshed after morning exercise…even if I’m half asleep while I’m doing it!
All I can manage these days is a 7:00am yoga session…but it’s better than nothing, right?!
Katharina says
That is so nice that you have a running buddy, especially one that will run in the mornings with you 😀 It gets sooo hot during the day and it’s not even summer–what?! Anywho, I read your description about the Biscoff spread and it sounds amazing! I love those little cookies they pass out on the plane as well. I didn’t know they also sold them at Walgreens! Oh! And I always love your dishware!
XO have a wonderful Tuesday
Andrea @ Sweet N Green says
I love early morning workouts! But, sometimes I just love my bed more. 😉
Ashley@thehungryscholar says
I love those bowls!
Marissa says
I love getting my workout over with in the morning because I always feel so good for the rest of the day… but the actual GETTING UP and doing it is super hard! I should make overnight oats sometime… but I just love my yogurt breakfasts so much!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
cute bowl!
i haven’t worked out in months, but when i do i remember the morning jolt! terrific!
Emily says
I LOVE morning work outs! If only I could get in bed early enough to work out before work….
melanie says
i’ve generally not been able to do morning workouts, as i feel like i need something to eat when i get up and don’t have energy to do a workout without eating. however, if you eat, then you have to wait to digest before working out… how do you manage it? do you have something light before the workout, or do you just wait until you’re done?
Kath says
I have to get up and go or I’m too hungry. Generally running is the AM workout I like best. Or a cycle class. The intensity keeps my appetite at bay. If I were to do something slow like lift weights for an hour I’d get too hungry (or I’d just need a bigger snack before).
melanie says
cool- thanks for the reply. i actually ran on the treadmill before breakfast a week or so ago, while i was travelling for a work conference and knew my entire day would be sucked up with that, and it wasn’t as bad as i had anticipated! but, i totally thought that was a fluke. perhaps i should try again, as it would be great to have the workout over and done with before the rest of the day even starts!
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
I love getting my work out in the morning. I’m excited that my school schedule next fall will allow me to work out in the morning 3 days a week 🙂
Emily @ The Front Burner Blog says
LOVE the morning run together – thanks for dragging me out of bed! 🙂
xoxo
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I want to give early morning workouts a try but I’m not sure if I could do it on an empty stomach! Do you usually snack on something beforehand?
Sarah (Enjoying One Meal at a Time) says
Love morning work outs. Gets the blood pumping! Such cute bowls, love them 🙂
runnerforever says
I love the feeling after an early morning too! Way to go!
What adorable bowls. 🙂
Anne @ Food Loving Polar Bear says
Cute bowls!
