As I sit here typing this blog post, I’m eating peanut butter straight out of the jar with a knife. I told my mom I’ll likely polish this jar off by the end of the day; she said “good, then don’t buy another one!”
She’s kidding, right? I have a jar at home, and two more at Alden’s. My sister Kristen, is trying to bribe me to run faster in the relay I’m doing at the end of the month, by dangling a jar of peanut butter a few feet ahead of me while running. It’s my kryptonite. I realize this is a habit I have to kick. No matter how many times I tell myself that this is ‘good fat,’ it stops being good if half the jar is eaten in one sitting.
In addition to losing weight, are there any other goals you all are trying to reach – quit smoking, run a mile, touch your toes, etc.? If there are a good amount of responses posted below, I’ll quit peanut butter cold turkey for the remainder of the challenge.

sooooo I suppose the configurations on the weight percentage work even if your new weight is more than your starting weight right.........UGH
ReplyDeleteWhat can I promise you to get you to quit peanut butter? Hell, I walked SIX miles yesterday... doesn't that mean anything to you?
ReplyDeleteI've quit smoking - four weeks on Friday :)
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to be able to (easily) jog a few miles, as a short term goal and eventually run at a normal pace (hopefully keeping up with Nicole haha). Since we're approaching the half way mark, I think that will be my way of kicking it up a notch during the challenge!
I've also SOMEHOW gotten myself into "training" with Nicole on Thursdays - ie, letting her kick my butt. I'll let ya know how THAT goes!
FINE. I'll give up the peanut butter. But you all are gonna have to deal with the consequences, mwuahaha
