Yes. It has been 2 weeks since I last blogged.
I've had lots to say, over the past 2 weeks, but every time I would sit down to write a post, I would get.... shy. Blogging made me nervous all of a sudden. It was seriously weird.
But I'm back.
Hello world.
Here's just a few random things from the past 2 weeks:
I went to whole foods for the first time:
I have been on this weight loss journey for over a year, and I had never gone to a whole foods. I don't believe it myself.
I've been trying some new, clean and healthy products, as a result of my recent trip to Whole Foods:
Cinnamon raisin bagels:
Love.
All different kinds of butters:
Dislike all of the above.
All natural chocolate chip cookies:
Not the best I've ever had, but it's nice to have something chocolaty and "clean" in the freezer, for when I turn into the cookie monster.
Luna bars:
Love. The only problem is, so does my husband. Doesn't he see the label? Women only! ;)
I have developed a love/hate relationship with ovulation tests:
Every morning I get a sense of rejection/failure when a little stick tells me I'm not ovulating.
I have yet to see a positive test. My fertility Doctor told me that my PCOS can prevent these tests from working right, but that she still wanted me to take them.
I think I may have ovulated this month, as I had all the "signs" THIS article pointed out.
How many sticks does a girl have to pee on to get pregnant?
I bought this, Clean Eating cook book:
I heart this book. Not only does it give you lots of clean eating recipes, including desserts (none of which I have tried, because I am currently too lazy to bake), it's also a whole guide on how to eat clean. Why I didn't buy a clean eating book from the get go, is beyond me.
And I have developed a small crush on 50 Cent:
That is all.
Do you ever get blog shy?
What healthy foods are you currently loving?

I've heard that Almond butter is amazing! I have never tried it, but what didn't you like about it? Also, have you tried tofu shirataki noodles (a la Hungry-Girl)? I am way scared to try them but would love a no carb noodle option because spaghetti squash just isn't it for me!
YES! I have...and felt like there were times when I just needed to take a fb break too! I think its good to take a break now and then!
sorry no positive results yet. Fingers crossed for you!
so you didn't like any of the butters? I am not a crazy pb person...so I would take or leave them. But the burts bees? I hope you didn't dislike that too...cuz THAT is my ultimate fav lip balm. Currently loving the acai berry flavor...rejuvenating, I think its called!
Meredith- It just isn't Peanut Butter. I heart PB, so I think it may just take me a little while to get used to it :) I haven't tried those noodles... I'll keep my eye out for them.
Renee- I'm addicted to burts bees! I haven't put it down since I bought it, and my lips are so soft!
I cant wait to read you are peeing on sticks because you are gunna be a mommy :) fun! I mean you are kinda already but you know what I mean... peeing on the stick that says you are a mom
I found that tracking my waking temperature was much more accurate then the ovulation tests and that is free! Good luck! As far as eating healthy I love oatmeal. And I am baking way too much. I wish you lived close and I'd send some over too you. Peanut butter is also a favorite of mine and I've been eating a very thin layer on graham crackers lately. Delicious!!!
Missed you Brittany! I just went by the signs of ovulation, rather than taking the tests or my temperature. I was spending was too much $ on the ovulation kits and never saw a change in my temperature.
I have not been to a whole foods yet either..
whole foods is so much fun...sadly I haven't been there since moving back to new york though. looks like you got some yummy stuff - you're doing so well!
me too!!! I've been in a blogging blah mood for the past 2 weeks, I just haven't felt the urge to write : / but I'm back reading and socializng! : ) you didn't like the justin's nt butters!? I have been searching high and low to find some and the only place I can find it is on Amazon. I don't want to commit to a case without trying.
Does it taste anything like Nutella? I'm a Nutella freak and I'm trying to find a healthier alternative. Welcome back!!!
Lots of yummy eats!!!! I love the Whole foods bag too. I'm no expert, but I don't it's peeing on the stick that gets you pregnant! LOL!!!!!
Josie- No. I'm a nutella freak too, and I was hoping this was a healthy alternative, but it tastes nothing like Nutella.
I've heard good things about that Justin's peanut butter, but have never tried it. and whoops, I've never been to a Whole Foods either :) Maybe next weekend!
I love the almond butter but honestly, I can't have it or PB in the house. They call my name! We don't have a Whole Foods but I have been to a small one and when I visit DD in Austin, she is taking me there- I guess Austin was where they started? As for store bought cookies UGH! I'd keep a little frozen dough in a ziplock bag if I craved it and wasn't dieting. I'm a snob when it comes to baking- only homemade for me. When I was trying to get pregnant with Abigail, I discovered I ovulated very early in my cycle. I wish those tests were available then.
Whole Foods is great but I just can't bring myself to spend $4 on an avocado! I am seriously interested in clean eating as well- would love to hear how it's going for you!
I have never been to a Whole Foods but have heard great things! Glad to see you back! :)
You are the first blogger I have found talking about Whole Foods, everyone talks about Trader Joe's, I do not have a Trader Joe within 500 miles but fixing to drive over an hour to a Whole Foods. No one can give me an idea on the best finds at Whole Foods, what do you think are some good ones? Thanks
Kelly- we don't have a trader joe's either. I've only been to whole foods once, but so far I love the fact that they have lots of organic whole wheat products, since I'm staying away from white flour. The first time I went I mostly just walked around, and took everything in :) I'll do a future blog post on my favorite things at whole foods, once I know what they are :)
right now id love to get my hands on one of those cinnamon raisin bagels with a spoonful of creamy almond butter you've got there- mmmm YUMS!! <3
For the "Nutella freaks" out there: nutella is basically hazelnuts and chocolate, so if you manage to find hazelnut butter, that might be more similar. Otherwise, put hazelnuts and cocoa powder in a food processor and make your own! Sure, it isn't the same, and it's still calorie-dense, but at least you can avoid sugar and additives
Thank you for the tip, Eleonora :D
Glad you're back. It sounds like you've been keeping busy! Glad you went to Whole Foods, just for the experience, if nothing else.
Welcome back to the blog-world, lady! I know that I live for oats at breakfast time - they're a perfect (healthy/unprocessed) base for whatever toppings you're craving.
p.s. As hard as I try, I love natural peanut butter, but just can't get on-board with the almond butter thing.
