1/2 pound down, but I'll take it!! lol. Planning a big city trip today. Headed down after lunch, then me and hubby are going to do some shopping for glasses frames since I broke mine over my birthday. Ah well. Also going to hit ross up and see if I can find some cute pants that don't require me to wear a belt with them. :P Maybe a tank or two if they have them cheap. Also planning to have a smoothie at the mall with my hubby, and a light vanilla rockstar. Doing alot of snacking today, and smaller meals because of it. Still getting in over 100g of protein though!! And really going to chug some water since we'll be out and about in the heat. Should see a movement in the scale tomorrow because of the walking/carting Jules around and shopping. So we'll see.

Reading on a buddy's Fb post this morning about Greek yogurt. I love the stuff and eat it most days as a snack. ^.^ So wanted to share some of my favorite ways to eat it.

Greek yogurt protein pudding:

1/2 serv of greek yogurt
1/2 serv vanilla protein powder
vanilla extract
Splenda

Make sure to add the vanilla extract before the powder, because it'll clump it up. ;) Also can add a crumbled graham cracker for a more cheesecake flavor.

Greek yogurt with lemon and berries:
1/2-1 serving of greek yogurt
splenda
squirt of lemon juice
30g fresh strawberries
30g fresh blueberries

Love layering it in a clear bowl, look sooo pretty and summery. ^.^


Greek yogurt smoothies:

1 serving greek yogurt
70g of your favorite fruits. (I like berries, pineapple, and peaches)
splenda
3-4 cubes of ice

Healthy cold summery treat.

I also have a greek yogurt baked cheesecake recipe, but it's not as low cal as I would like. So working on that one. :) When it's perfected I'll share with everyone.
