Nut butter!

So as it turns out, my somewhat dry protein bars are amazing with nut butter. At the bulk barn they sell sunflower seed butter with flax. It's heaven! I try to use it sparingly but it can be difficult. Anyway I had some protein bars with nut butter this morning before the gym.

In my fridge right now, I have sunflower seed, almond and peanut butter. Nut butters are a great source of healthy fats, but they should be used sparingly if possible since they do contain a lot of calories. Think of a serving as 1 tablespoon.

Friday we leave for NS. I'm a bit concerned about what I'm going to do for exercise when we're there. I'd like to keep up with my program but I don't have a gym to go to. There is a gym on the base there that Jer can get into for free. I might look into getting a week pass or something. Alternatively, I could do some of the workouts from bodyrock.tv. I'd prefer to just keep up with my program. I know how my fitness and healthy eating are so related. I hope I don't fall of the bandwagon while we're on vacation.
