Junk Is Out of the House

Good morning everyone!

I have good news, all of the cake and chocolate is out of the house. As are the chips. So today should be a good day. And this should be a great week! I said it in the beginning and I will say it again. Why was it so easy to lose the weight and now is so hard to maintain the weight? Same plan, I know how it works, so just follow it already!

Wednesday I brought my peanut butter dip into work and everyone loved it. I have the recipe for you below. My coworker even said she would make this for her kids to dip their fruit in. We said the only thing is we wouldn't make it healthy for them as it would have too much artificial sweetener for kids. At least in our opinion. We also said to make it into pie by just putting a crust down filling it with it and then topping with a fat free hot fudge sauce. Or make a chocolate pie and put this on top. Or make a cake and put this as a filling. Oh my gosh we were thinking of everything to do with it. But still my favorite idea - eat it with a spoon!

Counting every bite yesterday!
