PB2. I could not go a day without you in my life. You are amazing, delightful, and help me be a better me.
In all seriousness, I am obsessed with PB2. I know some people would think "powdered peanut butter? no, thank you!" but those people are missing out! For 2 tbsp(!!!) of regular JIF peanut butter you are looking at 190 calories. PB2? 45! One of my favorite neighbors and friends exposed me to it and I thought she was crazy, but when I decided to get serious about this weight loss thing, I ordered 4 lbs of it and have never loved a purchase more. 2 tbsp mixed with roughly 2 tbsp of water is all you need, but I add 1 tsp of apple butter to sweeten the deal. My husband and son, who also eat peanut butter daily, are now complete converts! I tried to make my son a sandwich with the old stuff so that I didn't end up throwing it out (I hate to throw away food. It makes me feel so guilty!) and he was NOT happy. He refused to eat it and asked me to remake it with the good peanut butter. You can order it here directly from Bell Plantation. Go ahead, and thank me later.
Today is also Scale Tipping Tuesday and it was a good one! I'm down 3.2 lbs for the week and 18.8 total. It feels so good! Tomorrow I'll take measurements. I don't know why I do that separately from weigh in day. It really means I'm having to hold myself accountable 2 days a week :) This week was particularly surprising, because we hosted a dinner party at a fabulous local restaurant for Rob's 30th birthday and I ate two pieces of the most amazing mozzarella bread I've ever had and a bowl of three cheese tortellini and chicken with sun dried tomatoes. YUM! But I've been good since that, and know that if I don't let myself indulge in situations like that I'll go crazy. Thankfully, there are no more parties in the near future. My scale is very happy about that!
