Before I get into the recipe I just wanted to give a quick little progress report on my weight training. In June of 2015 I had Myomectomy surgery to remove some fibroid tumors. The picture on the left was May 2015 just 1 week before my surgery. Originally my doctor thought I had 3, one of them being fairly large. During the surgery they actually found 9, the largest being the size of a cantaloupe. I was weight training regularly before, but nothing I did could stop that belly bump I had due to the large fibroid. I was pretty depressed about this. I have always taken pride in staying in shape and being as healthy as can be. At this point I decided I needed to have the surgery.

The surgery went well. I stayed in the hospital 3 days and recovered at home for 2 weeks. At my 6 months checkup I got the all clear to start working out from my doctor. Picture on the right was my first day back at training! I thought a good way to ease my body back into training was doing Jamie Eason’s Post Pregnancy Trainer program. From there I went on to her Livefit Trainer, still one of my favorite programs.

Here I am after completing the Livefit Trainer program. Still got some work to do, but I am liking the progress I see so far. I just started Jamie Eason’s From Flat To All That this week. Can’t wait to share the progress in 12 weeks!

Okay on to the recipe! And a big THANK YOU to Myprotein for sending me some of their protein powder to try out. When I opened the Myprotein box and saw their Rocky Road protein powder I knew exactly what I was going to make with it. A twist on Jamie Eason’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Crisp. Rocky Road Protein Crisp!
