Non Scale Victories This Week

During last night's LIIFT 4 Shoulders workout, I saw an improvement over last weeks shoulder presses.  I was unable to do the 2nd and 3rd sets last week overhead after about 3-4 presses.  My left shoulder would literally fall like I'd lost all muscle control with 10 lb weights.  Yesterday I used the same 10 lbs and it wasn't until the 7th rep on the second set that I started to feel bad fatigue but pushed through.  On the third set my shoulders were shot but I was still able to push overhead even if slower.  I pushed to fatigue but didn't have that dangerous muscle drop I had before. The zinnias I grew from seed are mostly in full bloom and I took some pics before cutting some to put in a little vase.

Food Review: Enlightened Brownies and Cookie Dough Ice Cream

I don't know what your favorite flavor of regular ice cream is but mine is The Tonight Dough by Ben and Jerry's because...dough.  So you can bet your sweet bippy when I passed by the ice cream case and saw this, I wondered if my fat girl dreams had come true.



Brownies AND cookie dough!??!

My two favorite things ever in one ice cream and only 80 calories less for a pint than 1/2 cup of my favorite flavor?  Don't mind if I do!

Here's a peek at the nutritional info:


Here's a look at the ingredients if you're into that kind of thang.


They like to put cute messages all over their stuff.


I'll be the judge of that.

Hmm.  Definitely looks more like brownie bits over brownie.


*tries not to give up hope*

But how did it taste?


Well, if you know what Enlightened's Hot Cocoa ice cream tastes like, this is exactly the same minus the marshmallowy swirl.  I think I bit into two or three pieces of cookie dough bits and when I say bits, I mean BITS.  Same with the brownie.  Those flecks are not chocolate chips, they are what they consider brownie.  The image below shows the biggest brownie bite I got, and it was my last bite.


It's not like it was terrible but say "brownie and cookie dough bits" because not saying that makes me expect I'm going to get at least a few good bites of the namesake of the ice cream.  I know they can't drop like 2 tbsp of dough and brownie bites in there and still call it low fat/cal or whatever but it was still irritating.  If the only kind of ice cream you eat now is this type of protein ice cream, then I think you'll really like this.  If you'd rather occasionally indulge in a regular ice cream that is loaded with the goodies you seek, then I'll meet you to split a pint of Tonight Dough.

What are your favorite ice cream add-ins?

    I enjoyed it for the most part but not enough that I would have to get it again.

    I really miss chocolate marshmallow ice cream from my childhood. No one makes it anymore, and rocky road isn't the same
