Two Years

September 7, 2011 by Julie 125 Comments

Thank you guys so much for your supportive comments on my earlier post. It was a hard and totally awkward post for me to write because I never felt like I would have to publish something like that, but I’m glad it’s out there for everyone to see.

My sweaty palms have dried and my rapidly beating heart has returned to normal. And your support, as always, means the world. I’m pretty sure you guys have no idea how much your comments mean to me and affect me. You’re amazing.

And now we can move on. Hopefully for good!

Lunch

Lunch today was a revamped version of last night’s dinner.

salmon salad 005

A salmon salad wrap!

salmon salad 004

To make the salmon salad, I combined:

  • 3 oz. of salmon
  • 2 tbsp. light Miracle Whip (don’t hate on the Whip!)
  • 1 tsp. mustard
  • 2 tbsp. chopped red onion
  • 1 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

Served with a cold, crisp apple and Greek yogurt sweetened with honey (that I clearly couldn’t wait to eat).

Now I think it’s time to discuss the big PBF milestone that’s happening today!

Two Years

As many of you guessed earlier, today is the two-year anniversary of Peanut Butter Fingers!

Julie Fagan Peanut Butter Fingers

It’s so crazy to think that I’ve been posting on this blog for two years… almost three times every day. Goodness!

I thought it might be fun to use my two year anniversary as a theme for looking back over some of my favorite past blog posts. Let’s do this!

PBF Top Twos

Two posts I’m most proud of:

  1. When the Money Isn’t Worth It
  2. The Comparison Trap

Runner Up: Because of You

Two favorite Sadie posts:

First week in Ocala 123

  1. Sadie Turns Three (Totally corny poem about Sadie) 
  2. Life Lessons from Sadie

Runner up: Everything About Her

Two posts that were the most fun to write:

julie fagan

  1. Wedding Recap: The Ceremony
  2. Wedding Recap: Behind the Door

Runner Up: My workout posts! I love blogging about new treadmill, strength training and circuit-style workouts.

Two favorite Ryan-related posts:

  1. Ryan’s First Guest Post
  2. Our Date Night Tradition

Runner up: Swamp Beast

Two favorite peanut butter recipes:

peanut butter granola

  1. Peanut Butter Protein Bars
  2. Peanut Butter Granola

Runner up: Peanut Butter Energy Bites

Two posts I feel best reflect my personality:

  1. Weird Things I Do While Running
  2. Ass Grass (My favorite BodyPump instructor referred to this post as “Butt Blades” the other day and I just about died laughing)

Runner Up: Weird Things I Do Daily

Thank You

On this special day, I feel like I owe all of you a heartfelt and very sincere thank you for making Peanut Butter Fingers a part of your day and stopping by to read and make my life a part of your life.

As hokey as it sounds, I feel like we have our own little pod of a place on the internet where we can communicate, laugh, smile, share stories and ideas. Blogging everyday and interacting with you guys brings me more joy than I can possibly describe.

Thank you.

Be sure to follow PBFingers on Instagram and Facebook!

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    Ryan’s first guest post was one of my favorites just because it was so adorably sweet! I remember talking to my boyfriend that day and saying, “You won’t believe what this girl’s boyfriend did. Isn’t that the sweetest thing?! Why don’t you ever surprise me with a guest post?” lol!

    Your blog is one of my daily must-reads! More than your take on healthy living, I love your optimism and zest for life Julie. And as cheesy as it sounds- your posts really do add a ray of sunshine into my day 😀
