    Those pancakes sound amazing! :open_mouth:

    I upped my calories to 1820 (1.5 lb/wk) and I've been trying so hard not to spend all of my extra calories on sweets! I feel a lot better on 1800 so far, since I started getting dizzy while working out when I was eating 1610...

    Despite that small setback, I've added 10 lbs to my bench press, 5 lbs to my other lifts, and tacked on 1 extra minute of running to my interval training! :smiley:

    Good stuff!

    @MissKalhan, I'm using the one from here-- https://www.everydaydiabeticrecipes.com/Brownie-Recipes/Black-Bean-Brownies-101

    I logged mine into 8 servings rather than 16 though. :) So, these two brownies would 1 serving instead of 2, if that makes sense..?

    How is the texture compared to regular brownies?

    You can buy a butt too. Ask the Kardashians.

    It's just such a different gym environment. A competitors' gym, rather than a every-day person gym, if that makes sense. At my other gym, I'm the chick in the weight room lifting heavy. At this gym, everyone's in the weight room lifting heavy. I'll do it, and I know I'll <3 it, it's just the change, I think.

    You got this!! You just focus on your coach and what they tell you to do. You are super great!

    Yah I totally get that, we moved from a gym like that to a World's Gym that is power lifter focused. The initial jump was scary but once you're there it's awesome haha

    I deleted all of my mfp friends because I was becoming obsessive about logging perfect food days since people might be looking at my diary. I learned a lot about myself in that moment.

    You could just make your diary private? That way you only have to be true to yourself and not others who could be looking.

    I considered making it private, but I kept looking at their food journals as well. I didn't feel like I should be seeing what other people were eating if I weren't willing to share my own. Maybe in the future though.

    I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas waiting for our new living room furniture to arrive.

    So you are going to post pictures right. By the way, did you get a camera for Christmas or your birthday?

    Yes, of course I will. And yes, I DID get a camera for Christmas. It takes amazing pictures and even has an app that automatically loads the pictures to my phone. :heart:

    As promised.

    Pancakes with cream cheese sauce and berry-jalepeno syrup for breakfast! :o No idea how many calories, but freaking delicious!

    Quik, when I come for thanksgiving, can we have this for breakfast??

    Ummmm, I know how to make jalepeno cranberry sauce, so we could probably figure out the syrup, right?

    Or we could go there one morning?


    Eta: on this highly mythical trip I have invented and invited myself to thanksgiving if there is moonshine pie ;)

    I follow ya! I think we're meeting at Mo's, though! @MoHousdon

    Yeah you are!!! I will skip the syrup and just do the cream cheese and maybe strawberry compote or just fresh berries though. When is this mythical trip taking place again?

    Yay!!! Brits on tour right? For an all American thanksgiving!

    That would be awesome!! Then we could all raid Mo's house and have Thanksgiving!!

    YES! I'll have Mike smoke a turkey. Or deep fry one. Or both!

    It's my wedding anniversary today. 19 years! We're celebrating Saturday by going to a Brazilian BBQ place. (My stomach just growled typing that.) And I've already told him our 20th will be celebrated in Belize. ;)

    Happy anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Quik!

    I can't leave my Mom on Thanksgiving, but if you gather at Mo's maybe I can come for the weekend!

    Sweet! You still have to do a marathon in my state, POF. Don't think I've forgotten.

    I used to keep peanut butter and a jar of salted caramel by my bed and mix the two on a tea spoon...

    I should do that with Nutella and crunchy peanut butter.

    I've thought about buying the one that says something about traps being the new expletives. I don't like the word they chose though. :anguished:

    Although, I did a huge closet cleanse so I need REAL clothes. :grimace:

    Mo, I put you in the 'low steppers' but let me know if you want to do the other group or both.

    Everyone else let me know if you want me to change anyone else up this week!
