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)
Day 15 Cookies and cream cheesecake slice, using flourless brownie cookies as the base and a white chocolate cheesecake topping - very yummy!
Day 16 Another slice of the cookies and cream cheesecake slice
Day 17 Cadbury dairy milk chocolate - 1 serving of 7 rolls and gave the rest to my husband.
Day 18 30g Wittakers dark chocolate (72% cocoa). This was the last of the block of chocolate I was given on Mother's Day - 2.5 weeks ago. That's kind of a record for me ... and having to explain to my husband that I did enjoy the chocolate, I just didn't want to eat it all at once was an interesting task!0 -

Day 20: Today was one of those hungry days. I had a lemon zucchini muffin, rice krispies treat, something called "Sugar Cookie Pringles stix" which were much better than I expected for 80 calories, and Edy's slow churned fudge tracks ice cream. I am slightly over calories at the moment.
Day 21: one cinnamon roll from scratch, two lemon zucchini muffins, 3/4 serving of Talenti Butter Pecan and 3/4 Talenti Caribbean Coconut
Day 22: lemon zucchini muffins, chocolate cheesecake, brown butter snickerdoodles (I made the rest of the dough that was in the freezer from last time)
Day 23: lemon zucchini muffin, chocolate cheesecake, brown butter snickerdoodles, Talenti Butter Pecan
Day 24: lemon zucchini muffin, chocolate cheesecake, brown butter snickerdoodle, Talenti Chocolate peanut butter cup, Strawberry Ricotta stuffed french toast.
Day 25: chocolate cheesecake, Talenti butter pecan, a Milkyway Midnight bar, and cannoli french toast:
It was yummy but I put too much chocolate (wait, is that a thing?) and you couldn't taste the ricotta. I think I preferred the strawberry version. Although this was delicious too.0 -
Day 18 30g Wittakers dark chocolate (72% cocoa). This was the last of the block of chocolate I was given on Mother's Day - 2.5 weeks ago. That's kind of a record for me ... and having to explain to my husband that I did enjoy the chocolate, I just didn't want to eat it all at once was an interesting task!
Did he congratulate you? If not, it's time to start a thread. :devil:0 -

I didn't know how to make it, I just guessed. I took a couple of slices of bread (which I imagine should have been french but was actually italian) and spread a mixture of ricotta cheese (30 grams), powdered sugar (10 grams), chocolate chips (14 grams, which was too much, I'd probably do half), and 1/4 tsp vanilla in between the two pieces. Then I coated it in 50 grams of egg beat with 1 tbsp whole milk and 1/4 tsp cinnamon and fried it in 7 grams of butter. Then I topped it with 5 grams of powdered sugar.
Super easy.0 -

Actually, no he didn't ... but I'm not going to start a ranting thread about it! I get sick of reading those ...!
What I love about this challenge is that it's really focused me on being consistent with my calorie intake - I've had many instances of extreme calorie zig-zagging, lots of way over and way under-eating. For the past 3 weeks or so, I've been pretty constant with my intake while keeping some aside for the sweets I love, and my weight has stabilised to a lower level than it has been for a number of months. Thanks for setting this up - you've made me very happy with the results!!
So this weekend is coming up and I've got lots of baking planned ... stay tuned for details and pictures ... and Acrylics, I've got those cinnamon buns planned for Saturday morning still - my mouth is drooling for them right now!0
