A week without peanut butter

After the day past's wet 20-mile run, I spent most of the afternoon within the recliner with my loved Teavana Youthberry tea. The rain in the end stopped and it ended up being a quite excellent day, however i used to be nonetheless glad to have run inside the rain. i'm able to take rain over solar and warmth any day!

yesterday was Jerry's birthday, so I made his favorite dinner before he went to work. The day regarded love it went by way of so fast, probably because I spent the complete morning strolling. The youngsters desired to watch a film and have popcorn earlier than bed, so I placed on the movie Tremors (which became on tv and that i recorded it). I used to like that movie whilst i was a kid! i was surprised that the men failed to fall asleep for the duration of the film.

normally on my long term days, i am not very hungry; however the day prior to this, i used to be famished! I snacked all afternoon, and ended up the usage of 20 of my hobby points for the day. I observed Pete's recommendation and had decrease-calorie, filling ingredients, and i felt first rate. typically, i would have gotten very excessive-calorie junk meals and justified ingesting it due to the fact "I ran 20 miles nowadays"; however i'd nonetheless be hungry all day. I had wine and dark chocolate for my deal with remaining night, and savored each sip and chew.

nowadays, I did not have something going on except to force Eli to his friend's residence for a play date. while Eli changed into at his buddy's house, Noah went out to lunch with my mother, and Jerry went to my parents' residence to restoration the minivan (it's been overheating). So I had the house to myself! rather than doing some thing a laugh, i stopped up mopping the kitchen ground. (Sounds easy, but it turned into a massive manufacturing of moving everything out of the kitchen, sweeping, and mopping scrubbing the floor).

these days is in reality Day 7 of no peanut butter! i am nevertheless going strong without it. I never clearly found out just how lots of a trouble peanut butter become for me till this week. while i'm burdened out and want to binge, the first factor I consider is peanut butter--through itself, spread on something, peanut butter sweet, in ice cream, cookies, something.

but this week, when i have had the urge to binge, I can not consider anything with out peanut butter that feels like it's really worth bingeing on. So my trouble hasn't been cookies or ice cream or doughnuts--it is been the peanut butter it really is in all the ones things! there is no manner i would want to give up peanut butter for all time, but this six-week challenge is simply what I needed to stop the binge ingesting (hopefully i'm not jinxing myself by way of pronouncing that).

i have sincerely no photographs for ultra-modern brief publish, so here is a image of Estelle:
