Today began with key lime pie overnight oats!
I used a cup of key lime pie Greek yogurt as the base and then added almond milk, chia seeds, oatmeal and walnuts to the mix.
It tasted like a very Key West breakfast!
Yesterday was kind of crazy around here, so I am hoping today will be a little less hectic. I have to work but have a nice break in the day where I plan to sneak in a workout of my own and stop by to say hi to you guys at lunchtime. I missed you yesterday!
And now, since it has been months since a survey has popped up on the blog and that’s just not okay, I’m participating in a fun survey that Natalie tagged me in a few weeks ago. I’d love for you to play along in the comments section of this post!
A Bit About The Blogger Survey
- What was your go-to food or snack as a child?
My after school snack of choice was Bagel Bites served with a side of TRL and Caron Daley. I ate them with a big glass of orange juice because nothing goes together like pizza and orange juice, right? Eh.
- What got you interested in health/fitness?
I think I’ve always been interested in health and fitness but it became a more prevalent focus in my life following my mom’s breast cancer diagnosis.
- You’re stuck on an island for a month and can only eat three foods. What would they be?
Apples, almond butter and oatmeal. (But if I didn’t care about nutrition I would say three different flavors of ice cream.)
- Favorite and least favorite body part to train?
Favorite = Shoulders
Least favorite = Legs
- Favorite and least favorite health or fitness fads?
Favorite = Juicing! Fresh juice seems to be rather trendy at the moment and I’m a-okay with that. Love it!
Least favorite = That whole low/no carb thing. No thanks.
- What is the hardest workout you have ever done?
I honestly don’t know! I’ve done a bunch of hard workouts though and love trying new things.
- What is the first movie that made you cry?
Bambi?
- Your #1 pet peeve?
Littering.
- Your dream job?
Samantha Brown’s job!
- Hairy arms or hairy legs?
Hairy legs. I already shave my legs anyway, so I’d just keep on keepin’ on.

![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
We are opposites on training preferences! I looove training lower body, but upper body (especially) shoulders, I just do it because I know I need to :-p
Hairsy arms or hairy legs? Hahahahahahah random question. TRL… BSB NSYNC and Britney. I tried to vote constantly to keep my favs on top and was so bummed if they slipped to #2. Aye yi yi.
I was all about the bagel bites too! I would eat a whole tray of them after school. As long as I’m working with food I’ll be happy, but I’d love to have a cafe on a beach somewhere, or write a cookbook!
i loved bagel bites as a kid. those and ore ida microwave french friestopped with a slice of velveeta!
my dream job would be something like hosting diners, drive-ins and dives. paid to travel AND eat, sign me up!
my pet peeve is people who think they know everything.
Oh and I’m totally with you on the no carb thing. I don’t believe in eliminating any food group. Life is all about moderation.
a friend on mine once said ‘you can live to be a 100 if you give up everything that makes you want to live to be 100’
SO TRUE
My go-to snack was cheddar goldfish! My dream job would be to teach cooking classes, and my biggest pet peeve is when people take their health for granted. Thanks for the survey, and happy hump day!! 🙂
Great survey!
Go-to snack food as a child? PB on Ritz crackers.
Dream job? A fitness instructor or nutritionist.
#1 pet peeve? Dirty dishes in the sink.
Dream job = To own a bed and breakfast in a tropical climate (which hopefully will come true!)
Pet peeve = People who are constantly negative
That would be an amazing job!
Go to snack food was pretzels, I still love them. My dream job would be a travel writer and event planner!
We never had bagel bites growing up, or Poptarts…I know, so deprived. I would eat a steamed potato after I got home from my after school sport as a snack. Ha, a little odd I guess.
My pet peeve is when people chew with their mouth open and/or smack their lips. Ew! I don’t need to be a part of your meal.
Dream job? What I’m doing now! Does it get any better than that?
That’s terrific!!
go to snack as a kid; my grandma always had pizza and kool aid ready when we got home from school.
dream job; blue whale researcher in Sri Lanka, or being a crew member on the boat from Whale Wars that tries to stop Japanese whalers.
#1 pet peeve; i have to agree with the littering thing. I always pick up people’s trash and tell my sisters, “this is going to end up in the ocean.”
My favorite childhood snack was a pb stuffed apple. My dream job is to be a Radio City Rockette. My number one pet peeve is gum popping.
YES! I wanted to be a Rockette so badly and was really sad when I realized I wouldn’t grow tall enough to make the minimum height requirement.
My go to snack: I would make a cheese quesadilla or in the summer it would be an apple and peanut butter!
Dream job: Working with the St. Louis Cardinals
#1 pet peeve: I have a few, but one would be people not paying attention while driving! I.e texting, driving too slow, talking on their phone….
Key Lime oats, yes!!!! I am currently obsessed with overnight oats, and that flavor sounds sooo refreshing! Perhaps I can add some key lime juice as well, maybe a little graham cracker crumble on top if I put in ten extra minutes on the elliptical, haha!
I have to agree-I have always said that Samantha Brown’s job is my absolute dream. It doesn’t seem quite fair that she gets paid to do what she does!
Oh, this is fun! Snack as a child: goldfish crackers. I once tried to see how many I could fit in my mouth at once. I won’t tell you how many, but it was a lot.
Dream job: Running my own bakery! I’m working on a business plan for one now. If it opens, you’ll have to come to Gainesville to visit.
Pet peeve: Slow walkers and drivers. I always hear Meryl Streep’s voice in my head saying, “By all means, move at a glacial pace; you know how that thrills me.”
I forget how great bagel bites are! I’m also the same as you when it comes to favorite and least favorite part to train.
Snack as a kid: Tortilla w/ peanut butter

My dream job would be in event planning. Not just weddings, but all sorts of events.
My #1 pet peeve would probably be people blocking the aisles at the store. I am a speed shopper, so when someone has the lane blocked and I can’t get around them I want to scream. I need to work on that lol.

Pet peeve – that I could curse under my breath once and my kids will hear it and repeat it for months, but I can remind them directly 1000 times to put their shoes away or not leave dirty laundry in the middle of the floor and they can’t seem to remember that from one day to the next!

My parents would have never allowed bagel bites in our house. 🙁 Go to food as a child was a peanut butter and honey sandwich. Dream job would be coaching and counseling athletes as a sports psychologist (however, my current job is a dream come true as well). Pet peeve would be people who are mean to animals.
Go-to snack food as a child?
Definitely with you on the bagel bites. I used to eat the toppings first and then the bagel, weird I know.
Dream job?
Stay at home mom with a crafting side business. Would absolutely love it!

This one is dog related. When dogs start licking their paws or you and don’t stop, that noise drives me nuts!
