Hello and Happy Wednesday! I started my day with an easy 4.5 mile run. I don’t know if I mentioned it on here, but I think that knot in my hamstring was actually a mild strain! I’m trying to baby it since I start Marathon Training next week!
All I could think about on my run today was how I wanted it to be over a smoothie. So I made my “Go To Green Monster” for breakfast.
And paired it with Sunflower Butter and Jelly.
I wish my kitchen didn’t have windows so my neighbors wouldn’t catch a glimpse of me sticking my fingers in the Sunflower Seed Butter jar. It’s not pretty (but it is tasty!).
Question: What do you wish?
I also wish nut butter was less calorie dense (since I already eat it like it’s calorie free!).
Oh the heaven I would be in if nut butters were calories free, I would put in on everything.
I also wish my lower back would stop aching. It’s been hurting all week and making any impact exercises painful. I know I should take it easy and let it heal, but guilty, like I am lazy bones and should quit whining and power through it. I wish I could just listen to my body since it saying it needs some TLC to heal right now and not feel like I need to push it.
Nut butters are some of the best things ever, and yet I think sunflower seed butter is right up there. DELICIOUS!!
a million more wishes
My window faces a sidewalk and I was once caught standing in my kitchen, eating ice cream directly out of the container – no shame! 🙂
I wish I could just wake up with an even tan. Which marathon are ya doing?
I wish I would get around to buying curtains for my kitchen so that my neighbors wouldn’t catch me digging in the fridge at all hours…
I wish that the first 10 minutes of my runs didn’t make me feel like giving up. Sometimes I am able to use that as motivation, but there are other days that I curse my lungs for hurting so badly until around minute 12 or 13.
I also wish that dark chocolate almond butter was calorie free. YUMMO!
Nut butter has calories?! Uh oh, maybe that’s why I’m not losing weight… 🙂
I wish nut butter was half of the new My Plate. My life would be complete.
Amen.
I hear ya about the wish for less caloric nut butters. I sit here with an IV drip of Peanut Butter into my arm.
Last week, I purchased a “Calorie Free Peanut Butter” at Sprouts.
Um.
Let’s just say I’m glad I was standing near the sink!! EwwwpewpewpewGAHHHoutovmamouf!
Never. Again. 🙂
I’ve never had sunflower butter. is it good?
Yes, I love it 🙂
I love sunflower butter! mmm! I wish it was calorie free, too, haha.
I’m suffering from an abdominal strain right now too and I wish it would go away! Bah makes running difficult (and I’m slowly coming to terms with the fact that I may have to take a week or two off…:( )
I second your wish for nut butter to be calorie free! I also wish that I could have the power to snap my fingers & be where ever it is I choose. What marathon are you going to start training for? Can you post your training schedule? I’m super slow & trying to get faster for my second marathon on Oct. 16th & am looking for help.
Is sunflower seed butter actually better for you than peanut butter? What’s the reason you chose it over other nut butters?
No it’s not better for you. (I don’t think I would buy something because it was better for me than what I preferred anyways.)
I chose it because it tastes good 🙂
I wish I had gotten up to run this morning. It is so tough for me to run before work!
I share your thoughts on sunflower seed butter…I think I might be addicted and have actually considered NOT buying a new jar when mine runs out…for at least a week (the HORROR I know!).
I think I might have to cut myself off for a bit – I’m going through these jars way too fast!
I wish I actually like sunflower seed butter so I could finish the container in my pantry! I bought it b/c everyone seemed to love it but I just can’t get on board with it for some reason.
I don’t think I liked it the first time, and am not sure why I suddenly started loving it either?
I wish my co-workers weren’t such good cooks! cookies, blue cheese dip, cake, rosemary cashews…they are killin me today! (And I love them all dearly!)
I so wish nut butter was less calorie dense. I’m not a huge fan a sunflower butter (yet). I had it with an apple and it was ok, the Jelly might be a good addition. I wish I was not at work right now!
I wish I had time to run this morning 🙁 and that I had an endless supply of coffee..
