Protein Cheesecake Recipe

   I've wanted to try this recipe for months! But my husband isn't such a fan of "healthy" desserts, since it's my birthday week I went ahead and made it. It was sooo good you guys! Here is the recipe:

1 pckg fat free cream cheese. 
Yoplait Greek 100 calorie vanilla yogurt.
1 Egg.
3 Eggwhites.
Some sugar free cheesecake pudding mix, like 2 tbsp.
Sugar free graham cracker crust.
1 cup artificial sweetner of choice.
1 scoop vanilla whey.

   I blended all of the ingredients, poured the filling in the crust and baked for 40 mins at 300 degrees. It's about 185 calories and 18g of protein per slice! Enjoy!

#MIMM

   Today was a typical Monday around here. I went and got some groceries for our week, and Grayson an adorable "How To Train Your Dragon" shirt. And toy. Because he had a canniption over it lol. He's sucha cutie and has been relatively good lately. *Knock On Wood*



   I came up with a pretty good little lunch today. Instead of having my shakeology in shake form. I simply mixed my chocolate shakeology with water to make a 'pudding' like consistency, I also added 1 tbsp. of Hershey's sugar free chocolate syrup. I then topped my Carmel flavored rice cakes with the mixture. It was so good, and fudgey, and decadent. It felt like I was eating a dessert :-P I also ate some cherries with them. #cherryaddict #ilovefruit



   For dinner we went out to eat, as we do most Mondays. I chose a healthy option of salmon and steamed veggies cooked in olive oil. It was really good! I love salmon, it's my favorite fish. I've been really making an effort to focus on my nutrition, and making sure I'm making good choices. It's not always easy, but it does get easier. When I am tempted food wise, I like to think of the quote "don't give into what you want now, for what you want most." I also try and wait it out usually, if I have unhealthy craving, I'll chug some water. Like I said, it's not always easy, but it gets easier. And the results are so worth it :)


     I CANT WAIT TILL BRIGHT NIGHT EVENT!!!! You have no idea how much excitement I have for this event. I love all of the bloggers blogs who are hosting. Especially, LivyLovesToRun. She's such am inspiration to me. :) I feel like this event is going to be so much fun and I can't wait to listen in on the seminars, and learn new things, and hopefully my awkward self can make some new friends. Haha. And I'm excited for the food and diet coke of course ;-) 
   I'm  really liking body beast so far, my husband and I are doing the Lean version. I hope to gain some muscles from this program. I'm determinded to give it all I've got this time. I want to prove to myself that I can be the best version of me. I also did the cybex machine at the gym for an hour. 


Happy #MIMM everyone,

11:11 o'clock !!!

   So I'm planning out my week in my head right now. My goal for this week is to lift/strength train daily, and wake up early to do so. I do much better with strength training, when it wake up early to do it. My June goals are: 

I feel like by putting my goals out there, I'm much more likely to reach them. I'm going to sleep now, gonna be up bright and early. Seize the day!
