    Confession - two maple bars during a work meeting. I have 603 calories left for dinner... :#

    What are dinner plans? 600 is doable

    Tuesday I usually eat out with my parents. That's the problem. I'm hoping they'll agree to Applebee's, then I can pick something off of their Under 600 calorie menu.

    This one is better than the Iced Chocolate Brownie. Not much peanut butter flavor to it, though. Some sweetener aftertaste, but not bad. Still isn't the Peppermint Bark. ;)

    I despise Applebee's. I can never find anything vegan to eat.

    Ah I see. How did you do?

    Hello again.

    I find the 'ideal body weight' conversation interesting as ever. According to BMI, I need to get to below 140 to be scraping into the healthy range (I'm 5'2"). I don't think I've been there since I was 17. At best just before I got pregnant, I was in the mid 150s and I thought I looked great. Currently I am mid 160s and I don't think I look horrendous, even though my BMI at 30.3 labels me as obese. Maybe I carry weight well, or maybe I'm a fat girl in denial. Who knows. I'm still trying because I know from past experience I will feel better the closer I get to 140.

    Reading this thread, I have no idea what 'birthday cake' flavour is supposed to be. Birthday cakes are all different flavours. Assuming this is an American thing?

    I think it is and it's basically vanilla with vanilla icing and sprinkles. Not my favorite, but hard to make it taste really bad.

    Yeah, that. And it's my least favorite. I don't understand the obsession.

    Today's Fitjoy bar - Iced Chocolate Brownie, AKA Iced Chocolate Disappointment. Just blah, with an aftertaste of fake sweetener.

    I didn't love or hate it, but I don't think I'll buy it again. I think I'll try the mint chocolate crisp or whatever it's called next.

    I have that one left, chocolate peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie dough. My Peppermint Bark were supposed to be delivered yesterday, but they didn't come... :'(

    The only two I liked were the Peppermint & Gingerbread. I found the rest of the flavors bland & could majorly notice the fake sugars.

    Me neither! I thought I was the only one. And I love birthday cake! Fancy bakery cake, cheap grocery store cake...I never pass it up. I'm not picky about birthday cake. But we still have 1/2 a box of birthday cake oreos in the cupboard. I'm not even sure how long they've been there.

    Today was off to a cruddy start: Woke up early because a massage for Martin was booked prior to our regular lift session, all was well until we went to leave. We then found out our neighbour was parked in our access way (he's moving out), after waiting for 10 minutes Marting went up to get him. Knock on the door and the nieghbour goes oh yes but first come with me.... He is a wackadoodle and was telling Martin all about how our landlord is planting evidence against him (they are going to court) and he wants Martin to be a witness.... ooook then. Get to the gym late (warned the massage therapist), I do cardio etc to warm up and our gym session went well.
    Then I go to buy a new bus pass, since they were on strike for two weeks they are giving them to us half price (WOO!) but I forgot the November bus pass so I have to go get it in order to get the discount, I'll buy it tomorrow no biggie. Then I realize, wait no bus pass means how am I going to get home tonight after work!? Now I feel dumb, Martin is going to pick me up. OH and last night I left my keys to get into the office on my desk.....

    Mint Chocolate Crisp - flavor is close to Winter Peppermint Bark. So far, this is probably my second favorite. I didn't notice any "crisp" though.

    I can't believe how crappy the online sales have been this year. I wonder if sales will be better after Christmas?

    No judgment, but toss those Oreos. They aren't bourbon and won't get better with age.

    There is no such thing as too gingerly.

    I confess that finally being able to get back into my pink 00 jeans (they're still a little tighter than i want but thems be the breaks when you do stupid things ykwim?) was the only thing that kept me from throwing up my hands this morning and eating EVERYTHING. Apparently I need to wear them forever, maybe sleep in them lmao ;)

    Ooh, maybe I should live in my "goal jeans", too. I like it. Looking at the muffin top should have some effect on my consumption. Plus, no room to fill the belly, those jeans are still pretty tight. :p

    Mine too. I wore them yesterday evening, but they are not comfy yet.

    Last one - chocolate chip cookie dough. Definitely my second favorite after peppermint bark. Doesn't taste like cookie dough, it's almost caramel-y. I could see myself buying a box of this flavor now and again.

    Thankfully they don't really look any different in how they wear except maybe I'm filling out the thighs a little too well (I want to pretend this is glyco gains because I run so much but...it's not -_- ) but the feel of them is a constant reminder of my dietary shenanigans lol.

    Not gonna lie, your mostly not favorable reviews of the fit Joy bars have been helpful in my resolve to not try them haha. The bark sounds good but Canada so we get so little of the promo stuff you do thankfully
