FCC Friday:
No, I didn’t have a cupcake today 😦
Or a peanut butter cookie from work that everyone kept saying was “so soft, so good, so tasty”.
I have been doing a 30 Day Challenge of eating healthy without SWEETS. I’m talking no cupcakes, cookies, muffins, chocolate, STARBUCKS (I should save some money), or anything of this nature. You might be asking how this is possible!?
Well believe me, it is hard but I still try to eat food that will at least kind of satisfy my sweet tooth! If you know me, you know I have a HUGE sweet tooth!
So what have I been eating to help satisfy my sweet tooth you ask?
Greek Yogurt
Cereal:
Protein shakes
Fruit with lite cool whip
Protein power balls
Peanut butter on pretty much anything:
Healthy Apple Nachos
Cheese and nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans etc)
Enough of that, I have some great news… Drum-roll please…
I am so excited to announce that I am now a:
GIRL’S GONE SPORTY AMBASSADOR!
Girls Gone Sporty is a “movement”:
An internet based company, who in time should be able to hold retreats, training, and sponsor teams! I am part of TEAM RAD because we are indeed that : RAD!
Girls Gone Sporty is all about “Living the Sporty Life” where women can come together to creative a positive and contagious atmosphere that we can all benefit from. It is about focusing on WHOLE health, enjoying life, and being adventurous and fun while still focusing on taking care of ourselves: mind, body, and spirit!
Check out the website for some awesome articles, recipes, and fitness tips 🙂
I am really excited about this opportunity to work with GGS and hopefully I will get some more FCC readers.
As you probably know, my blog is only a couple months old; still a baby.. But I have HIGH hopes that Fitcupcaker will take on the world!
Or some of it at least 🙂
Breakfast:
Friday’s breakfast was Leftover Zesty Veggie Quiche Muffins from Thursday night’s dinner:
My snack at work was quick and easy:
For lunch, our director bought us all Bagel Brothers. I had a turkey sandwich on a croissant.
Pickles, and a few chips on the side.
Of course, got to have veggies.
I snacked on some mixed nuts while I made dinner.
Dinner:
Chicken and Shrimp Stir Fry:
I sauteed some stir fry veggie that I bought at Trader Joes, and I also added some fresh carrots and broccoli to the mix.
Add in your chicken, shrimp, and stir fry sauce.
Served over brown rice, perfect.
Have a good weekend! We have our belated Holiday work party on Saturday. It should be a good time 🙂
Do you have any fun weekend plans?
What is is your favorite protein shake?
How do you try and curb your sweet tooth?

Props to you for going 30 days without sweets. I don’t think I could go 3 days! Ha!
I love the Visalus shake mix (it taste like cake batter). I put it in my smoothies & oatmeal to sweeten things up. 🙂 it makes for the best shakes.

Ive heard of the visalus, just never tasted it. I love the Beverly international, it smells and tastes like cake batter too!

Oh my gosh, those apple nachos look so good! I’m impressed with your decision. I don’t think I could give up sweets for a whole month! I need at least a LITTLE something to keep me sane 😉 But good for you!!
