I need rehab.

HELLOOO lovelies!! It is so almost Friday and I get the day off tomorrow so I’m having a little party if you want to join me? It’s gonna involve a TRACK workout, providing my shin feels okay-ish tomorrow morning! We can all run it together and it will be so much FUN!!emma running 2

Not gonna lie, I’m a bit excited. My nearest (real) track is like a thousand miles away from me, so it’s a big deal, k?

 

Anyway, back to today! I started the day with a biiiig bowl of peach oatmeal, topped with the last of my almond butter *sob*DSC09798

I’ve never had peach oatmeal but it was AWESOME! And peaches+almond butter go SO well together! Breakfast heaven Smile

 

Lunch was some lentil lovin’!

DSC09812

Lentils in nooch+tomato sauce plus roasted aubergine/eggplant and courgette/zucchini. With PB&J toast on the side of course Winking smile

 

The nut butter feasting didn’t end there. I got this Tweet in the morning:image

PB+grapes?! Hmmm…well of course I had to try it! Smile with tongue out

DSC09819

Verdict? Amazing. Rebecca you are a GENIUS. Is there ANYTHING peanut butter doesn’t go with?!

 

There were also many of Katie’s amazing blondies eaten today:DSC09822

Topped with PB of course! Winking smile (FYI that layer of chocolate happens when you put in waaaay more chocolate chips than the recipe calls for, and I highly recommend it! Smile with tongue out)

 

And all day I was looking forward to my BodyPump class! I haven’t done it in a couple of weeks and I was DYING! I got in an elliptical workout beforehand, but something really weird happened…

image

WHO DOES THAT?! It was the weirdest thing EVER! She was middle aged and looked deadly serious, so I don’t think it was a joke…weeird!! And a couple of weeks ago some old man stroked my leg. Is it me or do I just live in a creepy town?!

 

LOVED today’s workout though! That+BodyPump= happy Emma! Open-mouthed smileDSC09814

I think I need to go to Nut Butter Rehab though, because later on…

DSC08240

PB&J stuffed Medjool dates. Oh yum.

 

What made YOU happy today? Food, workout and your comments and love…the usual! Smile with tongue out

 

What’s your fave: nut butter and _____? Jam. Always and forever. Oh, and dates! And bananas! Okay, I’m cheating here!

 

Random Q: What are you looking forward to tomorrow/the weekend? I’m embarrassed to say it, but shopping becuase I am now out of cashew and almond butter. I know, I really do need Nut Butter Rehab!!

 

Love you guys, have an amazing day!! Open-mouthed smile

    What a creeper!! You should move to a safer town, like LA ;) can I bribe you to come if I supply you with never ending homemade nutbutters? You can pick the flavors as long as you share :)

    i think she just wanted to stroke your hair because it looks all wavy and purty! i kinda wanna stroke it too – it’s so soft-looking!

    hmmm I think I will be getting some grapes soon to try that out! I have never met anything that peanut butter does NOT go with so I’m sure it will be a success.

    I want to try body pump so bad! They offer it at my gym and I have a friend who wants to do it with me..I just need to find out when it is! I know it’s a strength workout, but what exactly does it entail??

    I understand someone complimenting your hair at the gym, but stroking it is a bit too far! I was happy today because I had a free day pass to a gym, and they had spin bikes. I made up my own sweaty workout on the super nice spin bikes – they had monitors with videos attached to them!

    Okay, I really hope you can do your track workout! I ran yesterday in the first time in months, and realized that no other workout gives you that great feeling like running does. Make me some of the blondies and send them to Oregon please. In return I will make you pancakes. PS that is really creepy about the gym thing…and no…nobody does that haha. When you go to nut butter rehab, let me know and I might tag along…the whole 1/2 jar every day is getting kind of old. Nut butter and banana sandwich is my favorite, but they are a must on my pancakes. The weather made me happy today even though it’s my rest day and I sat inside all day and did nothing. I feel so lazy ={
    Tomorrow Iam looking forward to the NBA playoffs! And working out lol

      Definitely!! That’s part of the reason I LOVE running so much!! Hello runner’s high! :D

      That is so a deal!! I want me some pancakes Logan-style! And I’m proud of your half-a-jar a day habit!! :P

      You are probably the LEAST lazy person I know!! But rest days make the next workout even better right, so ENJOY! :)

    Nut butter and banana. Always always always the best combo. But I definitely want to try letting my grapes swim in pools of peanut butter next time I have them!
    I hope your workout goes well, and you deserve some new nut butter as your reward!! I’m looking forward to the fact that it’s finally the weekend and it’s a prerace day tomorrow, so super chill run and pumping myself up is on the agenda.

    Almond butter on grapes? Whaaaaat? I’ve gotta try that. In fact, I think I’ll just start putting almond butter on anything and everything. It can do no wrong, if you ask me.

    Seeing all your delicious nut butter loving made me happy, because it makes me feel like less of an addict for my own consumption of it. Oh, and nut butter aaaaand…. everything :D

    Going for an easy run with my dad for the first time sense last July! We used to run together all the time but then I got faster than him so we usually don’t but today we did and it was great :)

    Nut butter and banana or pears mmmm so good!

    I’m looking forward to so many things! Tomorrow I only work 1/2 day then going to watch my sister’s soccer game (state championship game!!) then Saturday I have my first race since Sep. and I don’t have to work :) Good luck with your track work out! Love those they are so fun!

    I agree with chelsey. Rehab is for quitters. I refuse to go to nut butter rehab.

    What made me happy today?
    Riding my bike .5 miles in the rain to get to spin. Call me crazy, I was soaking wet but I thought it was the funnest .5 mile bike ride ever! and then my spin class kicked butt too :D

    Nut butter and … jam! like you said! Preferably on oat bran or on a slice of toast!

    I’m looking forward to tomorrow because it’s my last FULL DAY OF SCHOOL. can i get a woot woot!

    Mmmmhhh, oatmeal plus peaches, lentils plus nooch-tomato sauce…are you trying to make me hungry right after my breakfast or what?! :) I have to say that I am a bit envious of your hair, it is so pretty!!
    What made me happy? Sunshine, overnight oatmeal smoothie in my fridge and a google reading morning session :)
    Nut butter and oats? Or apples? Or another nut butter? :)
    Oh, nut butter rehab! So funny :) It would be overcrowded with food bloggers, it would be like a blogger meet-up :)

      Haha thank you!! All those healthy nut butter fats go straight to my hair (I hope! :P ) And that’s HILARIOUS- it so would be!!

    Oh that is a little creepy about that lady!
    I suppose the traditional pb and j is with grape jam/jelly, so it makes sense they would go.
    I am looking forward to the cinema- I actually have time to go! :)

    I need some nut butter rehab too. Right now my pantry is stocked with sunbutter, crunch pb, and a mix of “almond, cashew, and peanut buter” from Target. I mixed raisins, cinnamon, all spice, chia seeds, and maple extract into the multi-nut mix jar, and OMG it’s too good to be true…

    I really want to try Katie’s blondies too! They look amazing (especially with pb on top :) !

    I know I just commented yesterday, but Im at work and Im having too much fun reading your blog :) Really, I smile as I read yor post! And I just love your attitude to rfood and working out! THIS is how I want my life to be! I have such a hard time finding peace with food + fuel it right! Im scared to feed it even though I know I need food to work out and be happy! I like rules :P Or, I totally dont like them, but they make me feel safe!

    I wish you a happy happy saturday! And keep up your healthy attitude to life! You are a great inspiration, and so so beatuful :D

      Thank you so so much!! This seriously means a lot to me, and I’m smiling reading your lovely comment! :D

      I really hope you find peace with food! The minute I decided to throw out my ‘rules’ and eat what I wanted when I wanted, my life seriously changed! It wasn’t easy, and it took me a loooong time to finally get rid of some of my habits, but its so worth it, both physically and mentally! If you ever need anything, I’m here! :)

      Love you beautiful girl <3
