Holy moly! I’m blowing through my jar of Barney Butter like it’s my job! I’ve almost finished an entire jar in less than 2 weeks! 
I’m definitely overdoing it with this delicious almond butter, so this morning, I decided that it couldn’t hurt to remind myself what 1 serving (2 tbsps) of nut butter looks like. I broke out my measuring spoons as a visual aid.
Of course, the “standard” serving size isn’t right for everyone, so do what’s right for you. I don’t plan to measure my nut butter every time I want to eat it. Some mornings, I know I will be super hungry and glob on the nut butter like I usually do, but this morning was a good reminder for me.
On two slices of Whole Food’s brand whole wheat toast, I spread Barney Butter on one slice and pecan butter on the other. I topped the BB piece with ground flaxseed meal; the pecan butter piece was topped with golden raisins.
Breakfast also included a bowl of fresh fruit: strawberries and red grapes.
With iced coffee with chocolate soy milk and agave nectar…
Feel Great Weight Debut
Exciting news, guys! 
As most of you know, I have maintained a weight loss of close to 25 pounds for about 3 years now. Well, just recently, I was able to share my story with Health.com for their Feel Great Weight (FGW) program, an online diet plan/community. Right now the FGW program features real women and actress A.J. Cook (all of whom are on the plan) in the magazine each month, plus they have a handful of experts who weigh in. The one thing that the FGW program was missing was someone whose found—and maintained—their feel great weight, and that’s where I came in!
Each week, I will blog about “Maintaining My Feel Great Weight” for Health.com. My posts will be about my weight loss, my maintenance, and my daily life—much like Carrots ‘N Cake. My first post is all about my weight loss journey. Obviously, I am over the moon about this opportunity! I hope you guys will check out my posts as well as the Feel Great Wight program over at Health.com!
