Off Topic

This is a little off topic, but not totally unrelated.  I know as many of us try to eat clean and healthy we often have to give up stops at fast food restaurants (read: Dunkin Donuts- for me), as well as candy, pop, pizza, etc.  At this time of the year those sacrifices are often compounded with Lenten sacrifices, and mean you may have a little extra money in your pocket.  If you’re looking for a way to make a positive impact with that pocket change, I would encourage you to check out Forty to Forever (site below), as they try to raise $20,000.00 during Lent (which starts tomorrow & ends on Easter Sunday) to impact the lives of 40 orphans forever.  No matter what your religious beliefs, 40 less orphans in the world is a good thing.  Please check it out and consider contributing 🙂

I Heart Peanut Butter

It’s true- I love peanut butter and would eat it all the time if I wouldn’t end up being huge.  As I mentioned earlier this week, I’m trying to vary my protein sources, and this time I had peanut butter paired with Ezekiel bread (which is about the only “clean” bread I’ve been able to find that’s commercially baked and sold).  Ezekiel bread has a decent amount of protein too, so today’s clean meal kept me full for several hours.  The bread definitely has a different consistency than the average wheat/multi-grain bread, but I could get used to it I think.

What I ate: One piece Ezekiel bread with peanut butter (just ground up peanuts- got it at Whole Foods) and blueberries.
