I think that I should start off all posts with a specific food I love as an introduction and in a way a dedication to those I have loved, dedicated my life to and are slowly starting to leave behind.
Let's start with how much I love peanut butter. I love it so much it hurts. Ok, well not that much, but I love it as much as I weigh so - my love is heavy! (refer to The Big PHAT Weight Reveal for more info) Skippy smooth is the best, followed by regular Kraft and last but certainly not least, Jif. Don't give me organic, sugarless or crunchy, I wont touch it. But smooth? I can eat Skippy smooth peanut butter by the spoon, and oh no, not just one spoon - a few. Oh, and not just a teaspoon, I am talking a full overflowing tablespoon here. This is a VERY bad habit that I have had since I was a kid. As a child I would crave it after swimming - each and everytime! I would just "have to have" Peanut Butter and the perfect beverage match, lemonade.
Before Phat to Fit to Fabulous started, I would refrain from buying peanut butter because I know, like the Seductive Starbucks cookie (day 5 without one!) it calls me from the cupboard. Unlike the cookie though it calls me baby and sexy and you already know I am a sucker for a smooth talker - just imagine how smooth the smooth peanut butter sounds. Heaven. Pure and simple. Incredibly hard to resist. I do give in sometimes, and although there is some in my cupboard right now, I have not gone over to it with a spoon since starting this blog. Yay me. :)
So, onto the next subject....ok who am I kidding, just a bit more.....
Alone, peanut butter and chocolate are incredible. As a combination, they are killer. Peanut Butter and Chocolate is pure magic. Whoever created this magnificent pairing was one brilliant and mean, mean man. I have decided it must have been a man because I am frustrated with men right now, and I need throw a little more frustration their way.
Reeces Pieces or peanut butter cups, peanut butter and chocolate ice cream.....peanut butter and banana sandwiches on whole wheat, peanut butter and jam by the spoon, peanut butter on toast with jam. Peanut butter on pizza? yes, I said it. I have even had peanut butter on some pizza once, okay, maybe it was twice. Let's just say, this love affair has been going strong for 20 years plus. I have no problem committing to peanut butter. Maybe my love affair with peanut butter over the years has contributed to my current Phat and Fabulous self? Mmmm...it's amazing how putting your thoughts on a blog can bring so many things to light. Maybe, just maybe, letting go of this love affair in particular will help me eventually find a love affair that I can commit to in human form? Random thoughts, random thoughts.
How about those Jays? ok - they suck, I hate baseball so much - has to be the most boring sport on television or to even watch live - and I love live sporting events. What is with the random thoughts today?!?! Must be a side effect from lack of peanut butter as I would NEVER discuss baseball with a clear mind.
Excellent news! I went for another 13km walk last night with my friend Alana last night. We kicked the Mount "not so" Pleasant Mountain's butt and to be completely honest, it felt great getting through Day 3 (also with the help from your incredibly kind and supportive words - thank you!!) without giving into how crappy I was feeling. Can we say FABULOUS? Let me tell you, Day 3 was crappy, the crappiest in fact - but it is DONE and I really truly want to work hard enough where I will never ever have to go through another Day 3 again. Day 4 is a piece of cake so far! Ok, not actually a piece of cake, like I wont have one or anything, but I may think about one, a chocolate and peanut butter one actually...mmmm...or those incredibly amazing peanut butter and chocolate cupcakes from The Cupcakery (http://www.thecupcakeryto.com/) (shout out to Baby Momma, what!? what?!).
Exercise today: day off from 13km, eating healthy, ignore the phony, you know - the usual Fabulous day!
Blog Soon,
PFF
