    I keep having dreams about food, lol. Last night I had a dream that I put sugar on my cereal.

    I got home on Tuesday from work around 12:30am, so really it was Wednesday morning. I decided that I was hungry. I had some fresh strawberries from Whole Foods, and I decided that strawberries and toast sounded really good, and then I decided that I might as well make 2 scrambled eggs with it as well, lol. So there I was at about 1:15am eating a hearty breakfast. The only reason why I didn't add bacon is because it was frozen in the freezer. I hit my macros and was in my calorie goal, but my net was super low b/c I had over 23k steps for the day, so there's no need for guilt, it's just strange b/c I told myself it would be ridiculous to bake a few cookies, but then I made a whole breakfast sandwich, lol.

    I'm planning on doing the same tonight b/c it will be the same scenario work wise, except maybe I'll be at 15k steps, but I planned ahead and purchased some bacon from Whole Foods, so this time I'll get some bacon as well. :D

    Plus, supposedly, I've hit the high end of my goal weight range (125-128lbs) on Thursday morning, but for some reason my brain cannot accept it, even though I weighed in about .3lbs less this morning, so I'm sure it's true, but I kept weighing myself over and over again yesterday morning and this morning looking for the catch. Like I legit weighed myself 10 times this morning and kept moving my scale to different spots in the bathroom to see what the number read out. It was fluctuating between 127.7-128.3, I took the average of the weights and it was 127.94, so I guess I should accept it. I ended up going with the 127.7 b/c that was the last number the scale gave me about 5 or 6 times.

    Congratulations oh hitting your goal range! Enjoy it and stop trying to convince yourself that you are not.
    Strawberry toast sounds good. How do you make it.

    Thank you. I will take your advice and be happy about it.

    Strawberries & toast is super simple. Get some cut strawberries (fresh or thawed from frozen) and sweeten them a little with your sweetener of choice, and watch as glorious strawberry juice is released from the berries. Then get some toast, put a little bit of butter on the toast, and then place those lovely and sweet strawberries and its juice on the toast and enjoy. I love it.

    I love that you are already planning ahead to get bacon this time, lol.

    LOL! I really did. I knew I had to work tonight, so during my trip to Whole Foods for work yesterday, I picked up some bacon and strawberries for tonight's meal. I also made sure that I purchased some more fresh eggs from my coworker b/c I used my last two on my midnight snack after work on Tuesday, lol. I am so ready to get off of work and go eat my meal, lol.

    In honor of your post, I had egg sandwiches for dinner last night! THANK YOU!!!

    I've had to stop going to the salad bar at the grocery store....it's sabotage for me......my will power sucks with it.

    I think it would be ok if you loved the other salads. That way you can stay in your macros. Knowledge is power.

    I think she means "logged" the other salads. And I agree. There are WAY worse things at the grocery store than pre-made salads from the salad bar!

    Exactly!

    Like ice cream, cookies, donuts, etc.

    I took my niece & nephew to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast before church today.

    I confess to feeling guilty about having drama unfold in my husband's family and feeling just a little like it's going to be fun to watch because we are not actually involved. The one person has deserved a comeuppance for a long time. The other hates conflict but absolutely can't avoid it now.

    I don't think we will be sucked in, mostly because my husband refuses to be at the same address as person A. Person B will keep us out of it if at all possible. We just happen to live in the same neighborhood so I will literally be watching as I drive to and from work and walk the dog. (And I will stay on the other side of the street when I walk the dog.)

    Maybe a dumb question, but do they make a vegan substitute?
