No treadmill? Roads don’t exist to be gawked at. No weights? Furniture. No machines? Gravity works wonders for crunches and push ups. No stair machine? Climb some real stairs, a tree, who cares just go UP. No money for healthy food? Then no money for poptarts. Coupon. Subway. Excuses? I can’t hear you. Harsh? You don’t see success by wishing. So get out and DO IT.

Vegan and gluten-free Banana Walnut + chocolate skillet cake-cookies :)
Ingredients:
3/4 cup GF rolled oats 1/2 cup GF oat flour 3 Tbsp almond meal 1 large egg 3 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder 2.5 Tbsp. unrefined coconut oil, melted 1/4 cup maple syrup 2 Tbsp. unsweetened applesauce 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips 1.5 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 1-2 tsp. unrefined coconut oil [for cooking] In a bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together until smooth. It’s best to melt coconut oil over low heat in a pot. Heat a cast iron pan, skillet, or other pan over med-low heat and add 1-2t of oil. You want enough oil to fully coat the pan. While the pan is heating, stir the wet into the dry until just combined. The batter should be thick but not dry. When you place it in the pan, it should spread just slightly. Once the pan is fully heated [important to wait!], plop about 2T of the batter onto the pan and press down lightly. I cooked 4 at a time in a 9” pan. Leave enough space in between so you have room to flip them. Cook for 3-5min until the bottoms are golden brown and then flip and cook for another 3-5min. You may need to play with the heat to find the best temperature. Test one cookie first to see if you need to raise or lower the temperature. Test doneness by touching the top of the cookie and pressing down slightly. You want there to be a small amount of movement to the middle when you press. Place on a cooling rack, and they will firm up a bit more once cooled.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4k42dAPkB1r9nqxao1_500.png)

I love educating myself on health and fitness. It makes me feel great. I smile at the thought of where clean eating and regular exercise is taking me. I am constantly wanting to learn more. No matter how many negative comments I get, I won’t quit. I will keep going. This is my choice. I am making this my lifestyle now. I will prove everyone who has ever told me I can’t do it, wrong. Watch me.
