    I did it! I'm over calories because I don't log burns on lifting days, and my macros are a mess, but I wanted to try the other flavor of the rice pudding. I liked the taro better than the black-eyed pea, but I won't get it again because it was impossible to log. Sorry about the picture size, I'm not online to fix it. Next time I'll try the taro smoothie. It's purple. :)

    Day 10 - graham crackers, 1 square Good & Delish MidKnight dark chocolate, and half of an iced baseball cookie from Panera
    Day 11 - the other half of the baseball cookie, gummy bears, and a hazelnut macchiato
    Day 12 - 4 squares of Ghirardelli dark chocolate with sea salt caramel, regular root beer
    Day 13 - Hunt's vanilla pudding cup, too many taste tests of homemade buttercream frosting for the cake for my son's birthday party, lemon cream povitica
    Day 14 - birthday party day! English walnut povitica, cake, rice krispy treats, Swedish fish, and licorice. Yeah, an overage day for sure.
    Day 15 - lemon cream povitica
    Day 16 - 3 Keebler Deluxe Graham cookies, a hazelnut macchiato, and a serving of Talenti Hazelnut
    Day 17 - twizzlers, a few bites of a brownie sundae at my kiddo's birthday dinner, and chocolate pb2 on graham crackers
    Day 18 - twizzlers, homemade sugar cookie
    Day 19 - two squares Good & Delish MidKnight dark chocolate...not my favorite by far, but this bar that my husband bought for me is finally gone, so I feel like I can go buy some that I really do like. Also, a serving of Bolthouse Farms's Salted Caramel Latte

    Day 20 - a square of Ghirardelli dark chocolate with sea salt caramel and a mini salted caramel shake


    As a big soccer fan, and someone who keeps waiting for the predictions I've heard all my life to come true ("Soccer is really about to take off here in the States - we finally have enough youngsters who played becoming adults who love the game and will watch live and on TV") -- I am happy to see you at a game and at the same tie depressed to see how empty the stands are across from you, even on a weekday!

    In our defense, that was like an hour before the game. ;) But LA on a weekday usually looks pretty sparse. Traffic prevents a lot of fans from getting out to the stadium on a weeknight. Check out attendance for Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders however. Even midweek they rock their stadium. Weekend games in LA are usually 26k+. MLS attendance is becoming comparable to NHL attendance.

    We seem to be getting that "take off" here in KC, FINALLY. It's been amazing to see the difference a few years has made. Last I heard, Sporting's sold out more than 40 straight home games - I didn't happen to catch the attendance numbers tonight.
    (And wow, that cinnabon roll looks good!)

    Since I never seem to remember to take pictures of my sweets, I'll derail us even further into MLS talk, and share a couple shots I took at tonight's SKCvTOR game instead to make Cortelli feel better about attendance. Sadly (?), no stadium food for me to photograph tonight - I'd filled up too well on a really good burger before the game.

    Days 1-5 30g Wittakers dark chocolate (72% cocoa from Ghana) each night, sometimes with 30g brie cheese
    Day 6 Fruit and custard
    Day 7 Raw brownie bar (walnuts, dates and cocoa powder - so rich and so yummy)
    Day 8 Peanut butter brownie bar using greek yoghurt (1 serving), no-bake chocolate peanut butter oat slice (5 servings - can't stay away from no-bake things), 1 gingersnap cookie, some leftover melted peanut butter and honey from when I was making the brownie bar and granola for the week, probably 1 or 2 servings worth - went over the calories this day, but on a weekly average no problems
    Day 9 Gluten-free blueberry muffin - not bad as it was still half-frozen, which made up for the fact that it was on special about 2 weeks ago and was probably stale back then. And a small spoonful of chocolate chip cookie dough ...
    Day 10 2 chocolate chip cookies made with gluten free flour, 1 spoonful of cookie dough for a flourless chocolate chip cookie and 1 finished cookie
    Day 11 30g Wittakers dark chocolate (72% cocoa)
    Day 12 30g Wittakers dark chocolate (72% cocoa). Also had a few small tastes of the arroz con leche (rice pudding) I made for dessert tomorrow - for quality assurance purposes!
    Day 13 Arroz con leche, using cranberries instead of raisins

    Day 14 Peanut butter cookies (2 spoonfuls of dough, 2 finished products), lebkuchen (German Christmas cookie - 2) before I realised the icing mixture I used to glaze the lebkuchen contained gluten ... feeling a little sorry for myself right now :(

    Day 19: a pastry this morning - not sure what it was called... like a croissant with big sugar crystals on the outside and a custardy filling . . .

    That's going to be, generically, a "brioche" or in your case with filling a "brioche con crema" -- or generically a croissant of some sort and you just want to say "Mi da una brioche, per piacere?" pointing to the one you want.

    I am going to be in Rome for a week or so in less than a month's time and I am already looking forward to stumbling out into the streets in the AM after dealing with jet lag, and finding the nearest bar for a "brioche" and a "café" (and then also finding the same place for a "rosso" sometime later in the morning :flowerforyou: )

    Get better soon, please! Enjoying your reports / pics, especially since Banoffe is so totally on my to-do list, now
    We seem to be getting that "take off" here in KC, FINALLY. It's been amazing to see the difference a few years has made. Last I heard, Sporting's sold out more than 40 straight home games - I didn't happen to catch the attendance numbers tonight.
    (And wow, that cinnabon roll looks good!)

    Sporting KC is maybe . . . maybe . . . the club that makes soccer finally successful in the US. Not only really successful in its market but showing good soccer to other markets and driving interest in the MLS in the US! :drinker: I just don't want to invest too much of my hopes . . . but, maybe . . .

    Yeah, the side-effects of gluten aren't that pleasant ... but on the bright side it's stopped me from eating any more of those cookies! Only a little over my calories for the day since I've stopped eating the cookies, but overall the week is still good (and I lost weight this week too, to put me in my maintenance range again - YAY!)

    Glad you like the pictures - I love baking ... and eating the dough ... and the finished products!

    This is definitely not the thread to be promoting supplements to help stop sweets cravings... for that matter, I don't know that there is an appropriate thread to promote products like that....

    Hope you feel better! :flowerforyou:

    I was having some issues this morning as well due to all the rich Italian food I've been eating. I decided some good old fashioned McNuggets would restore my constitution, I was able to power through those and even stomach half a small cup of Nutella gelato...

    Day 6: One spoonful (13g) of Talenti banana chocolate swirl this morning (still tastes like baby food bananas, but I'm not complaining!), and a serving of Turkey Hill Dutch Chocolate ice cream.
    Day 7: So far I've had 2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, 4 Brookside dark chocolate goji berries, and French toast with 94g of Jeni's bananas + honey ice cream.
    Day 8: My daughter made me pancakes for breakfast, and I poured a little Hershey's syrup on a couple. At lunch I had strawberry pretzel salad, a small piece of chocolate raspberry birthday cake, and an even smaller piece of white cake with buttercream frosting.
    Day 9: Finished off the Edy's peanut butter cup (98g) for breakfast. I mean, really, could I let 32g of ice cream sit in that big container all alone?
    Day 10: 2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, 4 Brookside dark chocolate goji berries, 2 small pancakes with chocolate syrup, finished off B&J's Milk & Cookies, and Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl in Greek yogurt.
    Day 11: Talenti Sicilian Pistachio for breakfast, and a bit of the Safeway honey vanilla praline frozen Greek yogurt, and a Snickers ice cream bar.
    Day 12: 2 TJ's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds, and I finished up the 147g of Steve's NOLA Coffee & Donuts ice cream, just to be done with it.
    Day 13: Two TJ's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds and Steve's Southern Banana Pudding ice cream.
    Day 14: Rice pudding with black eyed peas and coconut milk, avocado bubble tea smoothie, and a Forte ginger protein gelato.
    Day 15: 2 TJ's sea salt and turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds, 4 Brookside dark chocolate goji berries, my first ever fried Oreo, 44g of Turkey Hill Dutch Chocolate ice cream (RIP), 17g of Turkey Hill Box of Chocolates ice cream (not bad for first taste) and 8g of Nesquik chocolate powder in my Greek yogurt.
    Day 16: 2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, 2 Brookside dark chocolate goji berries, 102g of Talenti Banana Chocolate Swirl.
    Day 17: 2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, 4 Brookside dark chocolate goji berries, 100g of Talenti Sicilian Pistachio
    Day 18: One serving of Safeway blueberry vanilla cheesecake Greek frozen yogurt.
    Day 19: 2 servings of Edy's Slow Churned Drumstick ice cream. Still thinking about that avocado bubble tea smoothie.
    Day 20: 2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, 4 Brookside dark chocolate gojis, and avocado bubble tea smoothie, and rice pudding with taro and coconut milk.
    Day 21: 2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, 4 Brookside dark chocolate gojis, and French toast made with Martin's potato slider rolls topped with 1/2 serving of Jeni's roasted strawberries and buttermilk ice cream. (see avatar) The strawberry stood out better than the bananas + honey did. I'm going to a graduation party later, so there might be something else.
