СКАЧАТЬ PENCIL YOURSELF IN. We are all busy, and finding time for exercise can be hard. I schedule my workouts in my calendar, as I would a business meeting or doctor’s appointment.

      • GO PUBLIC. Committing yourself publicly, whether it’s to friends in person or on social media or even via a blog, can help you stay on track. We don’t like to let others down, so this public proclamation can keep us from breaking our commitment to ourselves.

      • THINK SMALL. Sure, you may want to lose 20, 30 or 40 pounds, or maybe even more. But think of it this way: Every pound lost brings you a pound closer to your goal. So celebrate every small accomplishment, whether it’s simply hitting the gym instead of the snooze button or passing on seconds of your favorite dessert.

      • MAKE A LIST AND CHECK IT OFTEN. Jot down a list of all the reasons you want to eat healthfully, get in better shape and lose weight. Maybe it’s for your family or an upcoming holiday; maybe you’re sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. Keep the list handy and refer to it whenever your motivation starts to flag.

      I always found comfort in those mornings when my mom made us porridge for breakfast. I’ve never liked the instant stuff, and so I’ve always made my porridge from scratch, just like my mom did. But recently, I discovered overnight oats, which makes a made-from-scratch version, to be eaten cold, possible on those busy weekdays. Plus, it’s packed with protein, fibre, vitamins and nutrients – score!

      OATS

      ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk (or skimmed or soy)

      ¼ cup (25g) rolled oats*

      ¼ cup (45g) red seedless grapes, halved

      ½ tablespoon chia seeds

      1 teaspoon sugar (I prefer raw cane sugar)

      TOPPINGS

      1 tablespoon crunchy peanut butter

      1 tablespoon reduced-sugar grape jelly or strawberry jam

      *Read the label to be sure this product is gluten-free.

      For the oats: In a 225ml mason jar, combine the milk, oats, grapes, chia seeds and sugar. Close the jar with the lid, shake the mixture and refrigerate overnight.

      For the toppings: The next day, take the jar out of the refrigerator, stir in the peanut butter and jelly or jam and serve.

      FOOD FACTS fill up with oats

      If you’re looking for an easy and satisfying morning meal that can keep hunger in check until lunchtime, oats are the answer. Oats are loaded with soluble fibre, which slows digestion and can keep you feeling fuller longer. They also contain a good amount of protein, which is more satiating than fat or carbs. And studies show the soluble fibre in oats can help reduce LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol, which can cut your risk for heart disease.
