This post is part of a weekly series, Oatmeal Toppings, featuring a few of the best healthy living posts on OatmealinmyBowl.com.
Here are some of the best articles that have been found on Pinterest, read on Facebook, been retweeted on @OatmealBowl and @CaitPlusAte, and read in RSS subscriptions this week.
Work Out, Eat, Rest, Repeat:
- Unmentioned Benefits of Working Out – On a guest post for Kymberly and Alexandra’s blog, Taylor shares some of the benefits of exercise that get overshadowed by the more obvious like muscle definition and fat loss.
- Wrong Backdrop – Lindsay asks herself, and her reasons, a very important question – what’s your life backdrop look like? Also, check out her header. It’s all kinds of cool.
- My First Crossfit Class – Clare tries Crossfit for the first time, and absolutely ROCKS it! Great piece to build confidence among those who have been afraid to try it in the past *raises hand*
- Strawberry, Bacon, & Havarti Grilled Cheese – The title says it ALL! Brianne also provides a gluten-free option.
- How Must Is Too Much? – Carlyn reminds us that no matter how much we may feel inspired or obligated to work out, especially surrounded by such an amazing fitness community, there are ways to CHECK IN with our bodies and remind ourselves that rest is important too.
- Push Yourself BUT Know Your Limits – Jody posts on a similar topic, only from the point of view of someone older who has to remember her limits may have increased.
- Finding Time for Fitness – Christine shares useful tips for finding ways to fit in fitness – some less obvious than you may think – that are especially useful for mothers.
- Avocado Dipped Sweet Potato Fries – As usual, Lindsay has provided a drool-worthy recipe for her readers. It’s super easy and fast too!
- Don’t Take Away My Safety Blanket – Alex takes the plunge and makes a list of the things she’s been using as crutches – crutches that she hasn’t been trying to get off of. Very brave of her, and a great idea!
- Stovetop Avocado Mac n Cheese – Had to save the BEST link of the week for last, from a culinary couple, Maria and Josh!

Great workout video. I have no excuse not to do it since it is only for 5 minutes long. Do that two times a day and I will be fit and trim.
