Recipe Wednesday

Time for another dessert. Muscle Milk Brownies! This recipe is still a work in progress, but the last time I made them, they were delicious! I'm working on making them a little more brownie-like and a little less cheesecake-like, while still keeping them lower in carbs.

3/4 cup fat free cottage cheese
2 Tablespoons natural peanut butter
1 egg
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 scoops Brownie Batter flavored Muscle Milk
2 packets Splenda
1 packet Stevia
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup walnut pieces

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Blend together the first 5 ingredients until smooth. I used my hand held immersion blender.

3. Stir in the remaining ingredients, except for the walnuts.

4. Spread in an 8x8 rectangle pan that has been lightly sprayed with a nonstick spray. Sprinkle the walnuts on top.

5. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the top is firm and springs back when you press lightly on it.


If you want them a little more chocolatey, you could add some unsweetened cocoa powder to the batter, but you will probably have to add a little more sweetener. Or, you can do what I did and take 1 tablespoon of melted sugar free hot fudge and drizzle it over the top.


Pay no attention to the one that's missing! I find that these are better after sitting in the fridge for a few hours. I cut these into 16 pieces each with:

63 calories
4.5g protein
2.8g fat
4.2g carbs
.8g fiber

My particular brand of SF hot fudge adds to each piece:

3 calories
0g protein
.3g fat
.1g carbs
.1g fiber

I also just wanted to remind everyone that I photograph almost everything I eat. You can Follow My Feasts! I usually tweet on Twitter when I have a new picture, so you can follow along if you are interested.

Turbulence Training Twitter Transformation Results

Here are my results from using Turbulence Training for Mass for 4 weeks! I lost an inch on my abdomen, which was unexpected as I was eating a ton of calories to try and build mass. I gained half an inch on each bicep.

I also finished my video! I'm entering this in the "video diary" contest. I wasn't sure I was going to make a video this time, but finally decided that I would. You can also try THIS LINK directly to You Tube. Sometimes I think it plays better right on the You Tube website.

Turbulence Training 3 Minute Arms Workouts

Here's a video for you with Craig Ballantyne explaining his new "3 minute arms" system. The video is 5:25 long so you could be watching the video longer than it takes you to do the workout!



Stay tuned this week as it's the last week for the 4-week Turbulence Training Twitter Transformation Contest. I will try to post my results right away on Sunday!

New TT Contest...Cue the Patti LaBelle

"Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo oooo - I got a New Attitude"

New Contest.
New hair color (can't really tell in the photo).
New bikini (Hubby picked it out).
New photo-taking location.
New Goals.

I started the 2 new Turbulence Training contests today. The regular 12-week contest (For Rules, CLICK HERE) and the 4-week Twitter Twansformation Contwest (For Rules, CLICK HERE). I've loaded up my before pictures in the sidebar. My new goals for the 12-week challenge are to gain 4lbs of lean mass, and to be able to do 15 chin ups and 5 pull ups.

If you are looking for a new workout program that gives you results in as little as 45 minutes, 3 days a week, TT could be what you are looking for. And the $4.95 special is still going. Purchase TT for $4.95 for 21 days - if you don't like it, drop the folks at TT a message and they will give you a refund. Read all about it by CLICKING HERE. (The $4.95 special includes 3 months free to the forums.) Come and join me in either or both contests! I am Cesium0122 on Twitter.

I went to GNC to get the new flavors of Muscle Milk today and only found 1 store that had 1 left (Cake Batter flavor). So I went online and got the Rocky Road and Cinnamon Bun (Brownie Batter was on Backorder). GNC has Muscle Milk seriously discounted for Labor Day. And there was free shipping. I got a great deal! Will let you know how they taste!

New Turbulence Training Contest Starts August 31

New contest starts August 31! CLICK HERE for the TT Transformation Contest rules.

But wait, there is a second contest that starts September 1, and YES, you can enter both. CLICK HERE for the rules to the 4-week TT Twitter Twansformation Contwest!

The TT Transformation Contest is the regular 12-week competition; the Twitter Contest is a 4-week competition and you must use the Twitter website and post everytime you do a TT workout. If you read the rules closely, you'll notice you don't actually have to purchase TT to participate, but you do have to use it. Having said that, I still would highly recommend purchasing at least the basic Turbulence Training program, as you get 3 months FREE to the forums! I know that the support I have received on the TT forums has been critical to my weight loss success.

I plan on entering both contests, start date of September 1! I have to confess, this Twitter thing is kind of addictive!

TT for Abs Complete and I Joined the Twitterverse!

I finished up the new TT for Abs Home Abdominal workout program (Intermediate) yesterday. It was different than what I normally would pick out because it was mostly bodyweight exercises and I usually like to use weights. But I really enjoyed it. I did increase the reps/holds for a few of the exercises (push ups, planks) to make it more challenging at times, but I was using the Intermediate program and I think I could have moved up to the Advanced (which looks quite a bit more difficult!) Having said that, I'm pretty sore today! LOL

Today is the final day of the current TT contest and I can't wait to see all the finalists! Get your voting fingers ready! I will post where to go to vote just as soon as I know!

Finally, I joined Twitter. I don't know if I will have much to say, but come join me! I am Cesium0122.
