    LADIES, LADIES, LADIES!!!

    What has happened to the level of enthusiasm from our team?? Where did everyone go? I'm a little disappointed to see everyone fizzle out so quickly. We're almost half way there!! We should be encouraging our teammates!!
    I know I haven't been doing as much as I'd like, but I'm trying my best to be there for all of you!!

    I hope you're keeping track of your "EXTRA" miles walked/jogged/ran/biked/ellipticalized, etc...
    Everyone has done a great job keeping calories under goal and water consumption up!


    Today's challenge:
    50 Globe jumps + 100 Jumping Jacks + 100 Stair Climbs (jog or run)

    Hello everyone! I am still kicking the crap out of August! I completed all my challenges this week including the water and calorie goals! I hope everyone is doing well! Here is my recipe! I love these in the summer time! Enjoy

    Inside Out Mozzarella Burger

    93% Lean Ground Beef - 4ozs
    Mozzarella Cheese (Low Moisture Part Skim) - 1/8 cup
    Nature's Own Wheat Bread (40 calories per slice) - 2 slices.

    In my opinion this tastes best if you make it on the grill.

    First roll the beef into a ball. Next you push your thumb into the middle of the ball and out the mozzarella cheese inside. Reform the beef around the cheese. Cook the burger in the grill to taste. The add the bread and you have a inside out mozzarella burger. If you add condiments the nutritional values will change!

    Calories: 375 ( This is a very filling burger)
    Carbs: 20
    Sodium: 365mg

    I'm a sweets person so here is my recipe for what I call "Cheese Cake Chiffon", with strawberry topping:

    Pre-made graham cracker pie crust (nutrition values used from Great Value)

    Filling:
    16 oz. fat free cream cheese
    2 cups fat free whipped topping
    1 tsp. PURE vanilla extract
    1 cup Splenda

    Topping:
    One small bag frozen strawberries, whole
    4 tbsp. low sugar strawberry preserves/jam etc.
    1 tbsp. Splenda

    Directions:
    Put the cream cheese, vanilla extract and Splenda into a bowl and mix (I used a stand mixer), scraping the sides, until mixed thoroughly.
    FOLD in the whipped topping.
    Once all is mixed together, put in pie crust.

    Empty contents of strawberries into a bowl. I don't have a food processor, so I mashed them with a potato masher until the pieces are reasonable size. Strain out the juice so you have just the strawberry pieces and maybe a little juice. Add in the preserves/jam and the Splenda and mix.

    Store separately. Refrigerate for 2 hours or so before serving. Nutrition facts are based on 8 servings, but could easily serve 10.

    Sugar: 23

    I love this because it's lighter than cheesecake but still tastes decadent! :) Enjoy ladies!!
