In recovery for my peanut addiction!!!

All joking aside, my peanuts caught up with me yesterday! I had a very upset tummy all afternoon- through bedtime. The thought of eating peanuts right now, yuck!!! My husband couldn't bear to be in the same room with me, heck I couldn't bear to be in the same room with me! I am breaking up with peanuts like I did my bacon many months ago! Hopefully my crunchy peanut butter will not have the same effect.
I am very proud of the fact that I did go to Zumba on Monday and Wednesday! I could barely lift my arms on Wednesday afternoon. How pathetic that I let myself get this out of shape again...AGAIN!!! When will I learn? I didn't go today because I went to see The Hunger Games instead. It was awesome! I loved the book trilogy. A little disappointed in the movie version, but I realize there just isn't enough time in a movie to portray a full book. But it was still a good movie!!!
I got my Coconut flour/oil yesterday. I am excited to use it. How do you store coconut flour? I have my flax meal in the freezer, do I put the coconut flour in there too?

Jump Kitty, jump!

Here's a picture of my Kitty playing with my husband. It is really blurry, but you get the gist! She was jumping and catching a blue fluffy ball.

I also wanted to say that I am really, really loving my Ideal sugar, or Kroger brand that is way less expensive. It is not zero calorie, and it is 99% Xylitol and 1% sucralose, so it is technically belly bad, but I am a rebel and it is amazing. I have been making the chocolate no bakes and my husband eats them faster than I do. Truly, cooks up like real sugar with no bitter aftertaste. I have not gained any weight or craved extra sweet things since I started using it several months ago. Just saying for the people that can't wrap their taste buds around Stevia or Truvia. I still use Stevia in my coffee and tea though. It is way cheaper to buy it by the big bag!!! I only use packets now for my purse, for when we eat out.
I hope everyone has an amazing Belly Good weekend! I am a happy Belly good girl...as long as I stay away from peanuts for awhile:)
Blessings and happy scales!!!
If anyone wants to friend me on myfitnesspal.com and see what I eat every day, my user name is kayzfam. I have logged in and completed my diary for over a month! I don't ever put my ice tea on there though...just saying:)

    Hi Kay - You crack me up when you say you are a rebel! Everything you do seems to work for you and I think that right there is the best eating plan! Curious why you gave up bacon?

    Congrats to your daughter and her family on the house purchase - looks beautiful. And congrats on her growing family. Sending positive thoughts for a healthy pregnancy.

    Also, who has the recipe posted for the chocolate no bakes?

      I only gave up bacon because I ate too much and got sick on it too. I still eat it, but not every day like I did in the beginning. There is nothing wrong with my beloved bacon:)
      The no bake recipe is here:
      http://heartofacountryhome.wordpress.com/2010/11/23/chocolate-oatmeal-no-bake-cookies-sugar-free/
      I just realized when reading it back through that I have only been using a 1/4 cup of almond milk. And I boil them for a full 2 minutes. I also only use 1 1/2 cups of oatmeal and 1 TBS Peanut Butter. I think today I will use the 1/2 cup UVAM and more oatmeal and it may make more. So follow the recipe, not my notes....and make sure and boil them long enough. I let them set in the fridge and store them there too.
      And thank you for the good wishes:)

    Peanuts always seem to catch up with me, too, sooner or later. Wish it was right away, maybe I'd give them up then. :)
