dead halt

So, remember this post? Well that contest has come to an end. I am sorry to report, that I did, in fact lose. Bummer. I knew I wasn't going to win because my weight loss had, and still is, at a complete stop. I am attributing it to stress. And I have a Dr backing me up on that. So there you go ;) 
Anyway. I bowed out and realized my defeat and thought that I would still watch my eating in hopes that the stress of leaving the "competition" would help me out. Well. It hasn't. No shocker there.  The hubs and I told each other that while he was gone the next 6 weeks that we wouldn't nag one another about weight, but that we would just do our thing and return to each others arms as new and sexified people.  
-please contain your laughter-
I think it was...umm...week 2 that I gave that up also. I have been eating whatever I feel like eating and haven't gained a pound yet! I think this sabbatical will do me some good and let me re-energize myself for the long haul of getting back to pre-marriage. It's going to take some serious effort. Effort that is going to have to wait until after I move and get sassy pants in school. And it will also wait until I have gotten these out of my system...

(PB,jelly, and "fluff")

Now if you will excuse me...I believe I hear some chocolate animal crackers begging to be eaten....

PB & Jelly bars

Ingredients
  • 1 tube (16 1/2 oz) refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough
  • 1/2 c. peanut butter chips
  • 1 can buttercream frosting
  • 1/4 c. peanut butter
  • 1/4 c. grape jelly or raspberry jam
 

Take your dough out of the fridge, set your oven temp for 375. Find something to do for 5-10 minutes while the dough is getting at room temp.
Come back, and get out a 13X9 ungreased pan. Spread the dough on the bottom. This is actually quite a task...and after trial and error I found that a plastic baggie over my hand worked the best to spread it.
Get it spread and pour you chips on top



 Put it in the oven for 15-18 minutes...so the sides are firm to the touch. Cool on a wire rack.
In a small bowl mix up your frosting and peanut butter

Spread this over the bars

 

Drop some goobers of jelly on the top



run a knife through them making them swirly



Step back, look at them and remember to
Pace yourself!
