You bake!
I've been baking muffins for Jake to take to work, and today's addition was raisin bran muffins. It's been a while since I've made them, and I forgot how delicious healthy goodness tastes. There's nothing wrong with freshly baked muffins in the morning, but I'm learning that if I don't put them away in the freezer as soon as they've cooled, I'm going to eat more than my self-allotted "two-per-day".

It's dangerous to be at home with all these baked goods around, but I've been using healthy ingredients and trying to stay within my limits. Additionally, my 30-day exercise challenge-today is day eight!-has been kicking my butt and helping me to be mindful about what I eat again.
That mindfulness has caused me to save the best for last. At the end of the day I have one indulgence: Chocolate peanut butter "fondue". I use the word fondue loosely because it's not your typical romantic, slowly-savoured fruit-starring chocolate-y magical goodness. It's melting a tablespoon of peanut butter and a handful of chocolate chips in the microwave and dipping a banana in the ensuing gooey mess. Don't even think for a second that I gobble up the banana as quickly as possible and then savour the rest of the melted peanut butter/chocolate mixture by itself. With a spoon. Slowly.
Because that never happens.
Ever.
Love,
Ashleigh
