Try This!

So I've been trying not to make this blog a little too product-review-y but sometimes when you find something you love, you've just got to share it.

I really like peanut butter. Like really, really like it. Only problem is, when you only eat about 1200 calories a day, 190 calories just doesn't seem worth it. I know it is healthy fat but seriously, I'm not spending 1/6th of my calories on 2 tablespoons of the stuff. Enter PB2.


This is peanut butter powder and 2 tablespoons of the stuff is only 45 calories. It is made by roasting the peanuts and then smashing most of the oil out of them and grinding them into a powder.

I love that there are only three ingredients in each jar. Peanuts, sugar (1 gram per serving, I can live with that) and salt.

I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that this tastes just like peanut butter. It doesn't. But, when mixed with a banana or when you dip apple slices into it, the difference won't be so noticeable. I've been eating this nearly every day for the past 2 weeks and have about finished my first bottle!

As a matter of fact, My breakfast this morning:



They also make a Chocolate pb2 that is pretty amazing in shakes and on bananas.

You can order PB2 here at bellplantation.com

*Note....I don't know anyone at Bell Plantation. I just seriously like their stuff. :)

Lets share the love. What is your favorite "diet" food find?

You are the second blogger I have seen who swears by this stuff. It intrigues me because I love peanut butter, especially on apples. I sure do wish they didn't add sugar to it - that is a no-no for PB on my plan. Sigh.

See, I'm a huge peanut butter lover too, so I'll just have to try this stuff. I know a lot of people swear by almond butter and things like that, but I agree... 190 calories doesn't seem worth it. What I really love though is Luna Protein Bars (they're new) the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and the Peanut Butter ones ARE AMAZING! They're packed with protein and they are absolutely delicious!! :)

That peanut butter looks really interesting! I think I definitely have to try it out. I so love peanut butter I try to only have 1 Tablespoon instead of two so I can save 90 calories lol.

I temporary stopped Weight Watchers. I am getting married in August and my wedding dress came in a size smaller then I wanted it... I already ordered it one size smaller then I needed so two sizes not fun! Any way I started Weight Watchers my second year of college, and have pretty much done it since... I am 4'11 and weighed about 160/170 not really sure. My Senior year of college I was down to 115 pounds and loving it. When I moved back home and had to adjust to everything I ended up gaining about 8/10 ish pounds back. Well these are pounds that REFUSE to move back off me. So I thought maybe my body needed a little break from Weight Watchers, since currently it's just making me maintain my weight. I am counting calories until the wedding and after that I will be back to point counting. It's basically just to hopefully jump start some more of a weight loss. Hope this all makes sense :]

Hello All

Hello there...as mentioned in the previous post. I am ShaReece, SherRon's sister. She asked me if I would guest blog. I am not a blogger and have never done this in my life, but...here goes. A little about me. I am 25 years old and have been trying to promote a healthier lifestyle since last January. My starting weight was 232 lbs. My current weight is 172 lbs!! YEAH! SherRon and I have some things in common like: we share the gene pool, innate poor eating habits, love of pretty shoes and desire to lose weight and become more healthy. However, in all other ways, we are polar opposites. I have a LOVE for working out (Zumba, TurboKick, Hip Hop Hustle, most sports). I have a total different body shape as well that SherRon has often referred to as "built like a football player." This lovingly means that I have no hips or butt. When asked about my body shape I call it brick of cheese. Note pictures below. Well... is there anything else you want to know about me? Or anything ab

Hello World.

That is usually the title of the first blog post you get when you start a new WordPress blog. I feel like it is  appropriate for this post because I feel like this is [going to be] a whole new blog. While I'm still the same person with the same history, I'm completely different. Having a child has flipped my life on its head and I'm better for it, but different none the less. My motivation for being healthy has changed. My goals are different. My free time is VERY limited. Deep down, I'm a blogger. Writing has always helped me to see things a bit more clearly. Instead of looking at my time on this site as something I *have* to do, I plan to use it as something to help me turn into the person I want to. I saw a tweet the other day that said "Think of the person you want your children to become, now be that person." I wish I could remember who said it so I could give them credit. If it was you, let me know.  I've started eating healthier,

CSN Gift Card Giveaway

Image
Do you guys remember way back in June when I told you to look forward to a review and a giveaway from CSN stores? Well, that day has finally arrived. The hardest part about this giveaway was choosing what I wanted. There are so many items in so many stores! They carry everything from dining tables , to fitness equipment, to shoes and accessories. I browsed through many, many different stores but kept going back to the shoe section. (Can you blame me?) Being a good weight loss blogger I would have purchased something in the health and fitness section, but where is the fun in being good all the time? After several hours pouring over the different shoes, I picked a pair and submitted my order. Immediately afterward I got an email telling me my order had been received and that it would ship from the warehouse within two days. The first day came and went with no news from the store. The second day I received an email telling me they were checking with the warehouse to see why my item had no
