Peanut Butter

Did you know that peanuts have a higher concentration of antioxidants than blueberries? True story. And I love me some peanut butter! All natural peanut butter (read: not processed, and all that's listed on the ingredients list is peanuts) is my go to staple and I have it once a day in my morning protein shake. One tablespoon is a serving, loaded with healthy oils (read: fats), protein, vitamins, and antioxidants. Oh so good!
Why the rant on peanut butter you may ask? Well, I just had a peanut butter sandwich with Darius during our living room 'picnic'. While Darius paired the standard honey with his peanut butter, I sliced up some cucumber for a deliciously refreshing sandwich. Try it - you won't be disappointed.

This mornings work out was cut in half as Eli woke up right before I was to begin my second round. The first round was hard enough to be satisfied with my efforts, so instead of hopping back into workout clothes at nap time, I snuggled Darius and napped right along with him. You gotta love a snuggle!

Eli was calling about 20 seconds into the last run, so I pushed myself, finished up the 90, and ran down the call to answer his call.

 

The sun is shinning, so the boys and I are headed outside. You gotta love the sun! What are you doing this afternoon? Have you gotten your workout in?
