Ok I know I shouldn't but I have an addiction to Peanut Butter & Co peanut butter. My favorite??? Cinnamon raisin swirl, followed by white chocolate wonderful then dark chocolate dreams..... in 2 days I have, with a little help from my besties, eaten almost an entire jar of cinnamon raisin swirl. Right now I have white chocolate wonderful on a spoon in my mouth. I might need an intervention or stock in this stuff I haven't decided which yet!!! Oh is it bad I keep a jar in my gym bag???

Sounds heavenly to me!

See if it gives you more ompf in your workouts! Fats like in peanut butter, should make your energy level even out and make you last longer as you exercise (so your body can keep up with your mind that wants to do one more set of something ^.^).

I can say my body responds better to higher fat foods. My true test was the close grip smith machine bench press at 60 lbs not including the smith machine which they think is about 35 lbs. I thought for sure I would have put on some weight so far this week so I took a little peeksee WRONG! I lost 4 tenths of a pound and I still have today and the weekend before i weight in...... I know it isn't healthy but I can actually lose weight by eating nothing but chips and salsa. I prefer peanut butter now of course. I just finished off the cinnamon raisin swirl so I need to get more. It is perfect in oatmeal and I have white chocolate and dark chocolate peanut butters for throughout the day. I figure a tsp here and there won't hurt me to much and helps relieve my stress when it spikes up. But I also have increased my Acai and blueberry green tea intake. instead of 1 cup I am now drinking 2 or 3. I get to test the fat theory again today. Supposed to do leg press but actually get to go heavy since it isn't super high reps. I am hoping to see if I can still lift 360 lbs but my goal is to do 370 lbs. So I am taking a vega pre workout energizer and peanut butter before I hit legs. Will let you know how I feel

Vega pre-workout Energizer - Acai berry or the Lemon lime flavor?

I have the Acai berry one. My partner likes the Lemon lime better.

I love the acai berry! I just used my last one and can't afford anymore right now

Some days I feel like I am insane for doing what I do. Planning a cheat for next weekend. I am thinking it is going to be peanut butter cream pie! I am tired tonight and have to work tomorrow. 6 day work weeks are starting to catch up with me again and I don't like it. Tomorrow looks to be back, biceps, and abs. Going to be a rough day but always up for my challenge!!!!!

this is how I feel alot of times too!
when you start to look good, the creeps just come out of nowhere and smile and compliment you. I just smile and say thank you, and with no eye contact, go about my business (in the opposite direction! ^.^ ).

Well he has been creepin around a lot lately and I make sure I say I only date younger guys. He is giving me a greenhouse for free so I don't want to be to rude..... As for the right song... I have 5 songs that I turn to but 9 times out of 10 it will be Frayed Ends of Sanity by Six Feet Under yes it is a Metallica remake

*sigh* the scale didn't move for me this week. Yeah a little disappointed but not the end of the world. Mom asked me what I had cooking in the slow cooker I said beans and she turned her nose up and said oh. That look was priceless hahahahaha. Think I am going to throw in an extra biceps day. Starting to see some change in it and now want to give them some extra attention. Love the look of some nice guns
