Cheesecake FTW
Hiiiii 😀 Happy Saturday! How has your day been?
We started ours off by packing the Pilot’s stuff (mayjah sad face), and taking Bell for a little walk. The good news is that my roomies got back a few nights ago. They’ve been doing disaster relief overseas, and I missed their faces.
B-fast was simple:
Brown rice toast with goat cream cheese and wild blueberries
+ a Meyer Lemon Lavender macaroon
(Crunchy on the outside… soft and gooey on the inside)
Speaking of gooey (haha), we had a glorious dinner at Cheesecake Factory with some friends last night.
I started off with a glass of Malbec and shared two appetizers with the Pilot for our meal:
(*Sorry for the pic quality- I was playing sneaky blogger and used my iPhone)
Thai Chicken Lettuce wraps
(The Pilot made himself chicken lettuce wraps and I made myself veggie ones with all of the veggies, dipped them into the foodgasmic peanut sauce)
Ahi Carpaccio
and then THIS happened.
Godiva flourless chocolate cheesecake.
Just as amazing as it looks 🙂
We’re off the seize the day and I’m going to dominate my book proposal. The first two were cranked out pretty quickly (and were denied), but this one is taking forever. Maybe I’ll throw a party when I finally send it out 😉
Have a lovely Saturday!
xoxo,
Gina
Last round of Show Me Your Fit! This is the last set I’m going to do for this week — thank you for your amazing feedback on it! I agree that it’s been so motivating to see others taking charge of their fitness, whether it’s through unique workouts, healthy eats, whatever they’ve found to work for them.
It will become a weekly feature on the bloggy, so if you’d like to be included, holler to fitnessista at gmail dot com, Subject “Show Me Your Fit.” Due to the incredible amount of pictures I receive, not all can be featured, but please don’t let that discourage you from sending a pic in!
Caitlin: I have a new love for weight lifting and am showing you my "super big arm muscles". I’m proud of how much stronger I feel!
I am woman hear me roar 😉
Laura: I like to be fit, sister style! Last fall, my lovely sister Annie and I climbed Pikes Peak as part of a charity event. It was a grueling 13.1 miles, and my puny flat-lander lungs were not digging the elevation gain. It was an awesome experience and so cool to complete it together.
Here we are halfway up, via the Barr Trail!
Carolyn: "White Lightening" My new ride, designed to keep me active outside in the summer heat.
Ann: TLT (tempeh, lettuce and tomato!) open-faced sandwich. Delish and all vegan! 🙂
Jenny: With my favorite running buddy, my 1 year old pup Mosely. He reminds me that running and all exercise should be unadulterated fun! 🙂

Goat cream cheese!? . . . I’m ready for Easter to come so that I can have those delicious non-vegan foods. 🙂

Love all these pics and I can only imagine how many you receive. You’re awesome for doing it and compiling it all 🙂
I love using goat cheese as cream cheese with fruit spread on Ezekiel English muffins. I’ll have to try that cheesecake next time I go to the CCF. It looks so good!

Godiva’s chocolate cheesecake is seriously one of the best foods on the planet. I haven’t had it in ages, but it’s so freaking amazing!!

I hope you have a great weekend and that the pilot gets back very soon! 🙂
So sorry the Pilot’s leaving soon- all the more reason to party it up the next few days! 🙂 xx
I love the Thai Chicken Wraps at Cheesecake Factory. They have so many delicious cheesecakes, I have yet to try the flourless Godiva.. but it looks like its a winner!
Love the feature! Please make it regular. Also, that cream cheese and blueberries is such a good idea!

Sorry to read the Pilot has to leave again. 🙁 Hopefully it won’t be as long as last time. I love your nail polish color in that pic!
thank you!
Aw, love that last get fit photo. It’s so true that you should be loving whatever workout you’re doing. IF you don’t, find something else out there that floats your boat! THere are so many great forms of exercise out there that you don’t have to settle for something you hate.
not too surprisingly, I agree with Lauren 😉
Mmmm…I love the Cheesecake Factory!!! Every time I go the wait is out of control!!! But so worth it! 🙂 I never end up ordering cheesecake because my hubby hates cheesecake and I don’t want to eat the piece by myself :0)
Aww sorry the Pilot has to leave. 🙁 Hopefully it’s not for long though!
Holy cow that cheesecake… I wish we had that restaurant here in Canada!
oh my lordy Ann’s tempeh burger looks MUY DELICIOUSO!
Sorry that the Pilot has to head out again. This will be a shorter trip, hopefully? Are you still planning to join him for awhile? So awesome that your roommates were working overseas to help disaster relief. They must be really interesting and altruistic people.
Your cheesecake… DROOOOOL…it looks like it was fantastic!
Thank you for featuring my Sisters Getting Fit photo 🙂 We had a blasty on the hike and I can’t wait to do it again this fall!
yep, i’ll be joining him in a couple of weeks!

That is my absolute favorite cheesecake!! Sooo good! 🙂
Wow I haven’t been to Cheesecake Factory in ages- their appetizers look so posh now 🙂
And Godiva flourless chocolate cake…omg…imaginary mouthgasm, anything with GODIVA in the name will win me over!
