Way back in February/March-ish my Chiropractor at the time convinced me that the reason I wasn't feeling well was because I had hidden food allergies and a yeast buildup in my system. For about a minute I eliminated all yeast, sugar, soy, corn, wheat and dairy from my diet. During that minute I ate some chicken. I also went to the grocery store and bought me a jar of natural peanut butter--peanut butter with nothing but peanuts and salt in it. I finally opened it up this weekend and tried it. First, I had to stir it, because the peanut oil separates. It's really kind of icky, and hard to do. It took me about 10 minutes to stir it enough so that it wasn't a liquid goo. It was easy to spread, which was good. Too bad it had no taste. I guess I never realized that peanuts don't really taste like much. And it was kind of oily. I couldn't finish the sandwich. I didn't even let Tyler eat it. I'm sure that some people enjoy natural peanut butter. However, I'm going to stick with my reduced fat super chunky Jif.

And I have been on a peanut butter and pretzels kick. So I've been eating peanut butter sandwiches and pretzels. And cereal. I need to eat the stuff that's in my freezer.

I'm feeling better, so that's a good thing. I only took the elevator up the stairs at work once today. And Tyler and I added a bit to our walk this evening. We'll take it slow, because we're both way out of shape. But if I didn't cut the walk off, he'd just go and go and go, even though he's panting and limping. "No mom, just one more block! I can do it! I wanna check out that mailbox post!"
