Mock Frosty!

Today I made a yummy ice cream treat that even my selective taste bud critics (hubby and girls) enjoyed!  If you are looking for a huge calorie and sugar cut, give this a try.  Here is the recipe and then a comparison if you would eat the original small Frosty.
Mock Frosty Recipe:
1 C. Silk Pure Almond Unsweetened Vanilla Milk
2 Tbsp. sugar free chocolate fudge instant pudding mix
1 Tsp. Unsweetened Cocoa
1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 packets of PureVia
Handful of ice cubes - add more or less depending on the consistency you like
Blend until smooth and FROSTY!

Makes enough for 2, 8-10 ounce servings.

Now for the nutritional comparison:

30 miles in 30 days!

June 1st is here!  I am not giving much notice of this challenge, however I have found if you don't have much time to think and contemplate you are more apt to GO FOR IT!! 

In the next 30 days, aim for accomplishing 30 miles of either walking or running.  Let's be accountable and share on my FB page - Figure By Faith, or on MyFitnessPal where I have created a private group for Figure By Faith.  Keep tallying your miles and see what you can do!!

Today I trained a client early this am, then went for a 3+ mile run where I did short bursts of intervals during it.  My daughter has her own challenge going on for volleyball.  She is trying to have 100,000 passes/sets by the time school starts.  She is passing against the garage, setting to herself and having my husband and I pass back and forth to her.  If she does this and reaches the goal of 100,000 she will be recognized at a High School volleyball game this fall. 

Challenges are fun and help keep us accountable.
I know you can do this challenge this month!  ABC's : Attitude, Believe, Consistency:):)
