Oh how I love peanut butter

I thought I was getting a cold, but I think my asthma is irritated by all the wood smoke around our house. We have several neighbors who burn wood for heat and as soon as I step outside, it chokes me. I'm feeling better today. I took a sick day yesterday to recover and rest. I did some more reading and still can't figure out why I'm not losing weight. I know people look at me like, well, gee, it's so obvious, you're eating too much! OR you're eating unhealthy foods! Uh, no. Do I have the occasional donut? yeah, I might once a month. And I don't feel bad doing it because I remember 20 years ago when I'd polish off an entire dozen in one sitting and still be looking for more snacks. I rarely drink a soda, maybe one every couple of months.

One funny thing is I have started eating peanut butter in the last few years. My mother always made me pack a bologna sandwich (which stinks, literally) or a cheese sandwich for lunch. I was never allowed peanut butter because she thought it was  "unhealthy" and a "junk food". My, my, how times change! I now LOVE eating a peanut butter sandwich.
