Happy Friday Everyone!
So I have been contemplating what to do for my first "official" post... Now its been like 3 weeks of over-thinking something so simple! Therefore here it is, my first OFFICIAL post!
Like I mentioned in my bio I am very into fitness and I have decided to challenge myself and do a NPC bikini competition! I am exactly 6 weeks out, I am still lifting heavy (4 sets of 15) and trying to "burn out" on my last set. I am on a diet that focuses on my macros (fats, carbohydrates and proteins) I use the app www.myfitnesspal.com to keep track of my numbers. I absolutely recommend this app to everyone even if you aren't on a specific diet. Understanding what you are putting into your body is important, it is like knowing the gas or oil your car needs to run; food is our fuel so make sure you are giving yourself premium!
My biggest struggles: my horrible sweet tooth and my love for carbs, give me all the pasta and bread!!! If you are a person who doesn't like sweets I am insanely jealous of you! Luckily there are some really amazing bloggers with great recipes of healthy baking and other great healthy dishes!
Last weekend I stumbled onto withpeanutbutterontop.blogspot.com and I love love love her blog! I have gotten so much inspiration from Samantha and have tried a few of her recipes which have all been AMAZING, and the best part is that she breaks down the nutrition facts!

FAVES FROM THIS WEEK
Ezekial bread (found mine at Trader Joes) french toast with strawberries and Greek yogurt! I used her recipe again but modified mine just a hint, instead of making a "cream cheese" I just added a little bit of sugar-free vanilla syrup to my plain Greek yogurt and used as a dipping sauce! I LOVE breakfast/brunch and french toast is definitely a fave, so finding this healthy recipe was like striking gold!

Cauliflower Pizza one word YUM! I followed her awesome recipe but instead of a calzone I just left mine as an open face pizza! I also added turkey pepperoni, red bell peppers and fresh basil! http://withpeanutbutterontop.blogspot.com/2014/05/cauliflower-veggie-calzone.html |
I borrowed the picture off Samantha's blog because it makes your mouth water and I also ate mine before I photographed haha! I loved this easy to make pesto sauce! I served mine over zuccini linguini and it was awesome! http://withpeanutbutterontop.blogspot.com/2014/07/chicken-avocado-pesto-pasta.html |
Gimme that cauliflower pizza!
