Unjury Fudge
on November 20, 2004 6:41 pm
UNJURY Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Fudge!!!

1/4 cup of margarine/butter
1/2 cup peanut butter

Melt together, do not boil - warm up just enough to melt the margarine and soften the peanut butter using very low heat--DO NOT boil or cook. Remove from heat, blend the margarine and peanut butter thoroughly. Cool for 2 minutes

In another bowl, combine 2 scoops of Unjury Chocolate Protein Powder
10 pkts of Splenda (1/3 cup)
Mix well

Slowly add the Unjury mixture to the peanut butter/butter mixture. Mix extremely well (the secret of this fudge is mixing extremely well) I use my stand mixer on high to get as smooth of product as possible.

Pour into a container (I use a glad square container with lid), seal and refrigerate until set/firm. I store mine in the fridge BTW!!!

Makes 9 small servings; 11.5 gm Protein per serving; 6.8 gm Carbohydrate per serving

Made this yesterday and it was great. I modified the recipe a little bit though. Used a zero trans fat margarine, and used the Trader Joe's Vanilla Protein powder with Davinci butterscotch syrup. I also only used 6 packs of Splenda.
This is a great treat! Poured it into a pie tin and the servings were pretty good size.
Yummy. All sorts of options with this recipe. Thanks, this is my first treat in a year that doesn't come as a smoothie.

Forgot that I also used add crushed pecans to the goop, and poured the other half on top for topping. Real good.

I'm pretty happy now. But unlike a year ago when I was fat and happy, now I'm just happy and healthy. I am approaching my 10 pound meca, but I still see myself as pleasantly plump. In fact, most of the BMI scales and other calculator still indicate that I'm overweight. I was in sixth grade when I started to gain weight. I was definitely an emotional eater, and ate everyone problems away. My twenties I experimented with several diets, but usually ended up the wrong side of the yo-yo. My thirties, more diets, more weight. My fourties, more diets, bad health, bad knees, depression and my max weight ever. My fifties, I have spent the past year losing 150 pounds, relearning and educating myself about health, fitness, and nutrition.
Even if I don't lose another pound I am extremely happy with my new body. I have control of my health, I haven't taken any medications for nine months, haven't had a headache in six months, haven't dumped in over six months. I have met an incredible group of people who continue to inspire me (all of you can take a bow). Life is good. I enjoy my new found life, and my obsession with exercise and activity. I worry a little bit about the family and the fact that we no longer have food as our common bond, but we are all working on that. So in conclusion, I can really enjoy where I am at. If I gain weight I might get disappointed with myself. I am going to live at this weight for at least a year prior to even thinking about visiting the plastic doctor. I'm alive, and that certainly beats the alternative, which is where I was heading. So icing on my cake is probably enjoying my oatmeal bomb every morning! Over and out.

Sounds like you have to catch the metro to get there. You can pick it up at Greenbelt, MD. I think it costs $6 for a day ticket. It's about a ten minute train ride.

Oatmeal for breakfast!
on November 1, 2004 6:33 pm
My favorite meal is still breakfast. I have been having the same meal for almost year. I have a bowl of oat meal with 2 tblspoons of flax seed meal, a scoop of Unjury, cinnamon, a pack of splenda, and 1/2 cup of soy milk. That gives me my pick-me-up in the morning and more than 20grams of protein to start the day. I sometimes throw in a 1/3 cup of flax cereal with pumpkin seed crunchers (trader Joes) to give it some extra texture.

Albright College and the son's girlfriend...
on October 31, 2004 6:30 pm
I got ultra busy on Friday and had to go up to Albright College. My son wanted me to meet his girlfriend, so I ended up taking them to dinner. They laughed out loud watching me work the waitress for a small plate of salmon and veggies.
I spent this morning walking at the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes) 5 miler at Rockford Park and the rest of the afternoon raking up leaves in the yard. Can't wait till I get back to work so I can take it easy.
