    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.

    This is the first time that I can remember I have left a 'normal' sized chocolate for more than a week, and only had the recommended serving size at one sitting. I remember my childhood where I would eat a family-sized block of chocolate, by myself, within half an hour ... and feel very sick afterwards. Maybe I'm learning portion control finally?

    Day 8: Utah Truffles Mint milk chocolate truffle - half a truffle (they're pretty big). Also 1 slice of Jell-o no-bake strawberry cheesecake.
    Day 9: Pepperidge Farms Chocolate Cheesecake soft bake cookies. They're pretty good, a lot better than the Boston Cream Pie Milanos. I really like the soft cookie texture and they taste good. I also had the last piece of no-bake cheesecake.
    Day 10: More of the cookies from above
    Day 11: The other half of the mint truffle from Day 8, and 3/4 of a cookie as above.
    Day 12: Lemon Bismark from Wal-Mart Bakery.

    Day 19: Chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips. (Made from cookies in a jar)
    Day 20: Same as yesterday
    Day 21: Will I get kicked out if I count my "blueberry bran" as a sweet? tongue It's just bran flakes cereal with fresh blueberries and milk. But it's soooo good! Also cupcakes and one scoop of ice cream at my niece's birthday party.
    Day 22: I made a cake from a Betty Crocker cake mix. It's rainbow sprinkles or something like that. I was too lazy to make frosting (and I don't buy it at the store, I don't like it), so we just shook a bit of powdered sugar over the slices, and it was delicious.
    Day 23: More of the cake, with Bryer's Blasts Snicker's ice cream. (Funny thing, my brother was over, and he thought at first I was having bread and ice cream ...LOL what? :laugh:)
    Day 24: Milky Way bar

    Day 10: Tillamook Peanut Butter Fudge (1.32 oz.), Tillamook Grandma's Cake Batter (1/2 cup), and Talenti Southern Butter Pecan (1/2 cup). It's not the one, Acrylics. Sigh.
    Day 11: Last of my Salt & Straw Honey Lavender ice cream, Ben & Jerry's Boston Creme Pie (1 1/2 cups)
    Day 12: DQ Cherry Dilly Bar. It brought me back to my childhood. Also two pieces of Daim chocolates. And Umpqua Chocolate Peanut Butter (1 cup) and Umpqua Birthday Cake (1/2 cup)
    Day 13: Lindt Milk Chocolate bar, Ben & Jerry's Everything But The... (2 cups)
    Day 14: Three Twins Chocolate Malt (1 cup)
    Day 15: Haagen Daz Green Tea (1 3/4 cup)
    Day 16: Ben & Jerry's Mississippi Mud Pie (1/2 cup). So much delicious. It's a shame I don't have room in my day for more.
    Day 17: Ben & Jerry's Mississippi Mud Pie (1/2 cup) and two little brownie pieces from my friend's kid's preschool graduation.
    Day 18: Ben & Jerry's Mississippi Mud Pie (1 cup) and Three Twins Chocolate Malt (1 cup)
    Day 19: Safeway maple bar and a lemon-filled donut. They were free at my staff meeting, so no complaints here.
    Day 20: Talenti Southern Butter Pecan (1/2 cup)
    Day 21: Talenti Southern Butter Pecan (1 cup)- I liked this one more each time I had it, though it's still not one of my favorites.
    Day 22: Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Buns (2 cups)- Amazing. Definitely makes my top 3 for B&J.
    Day 23: Safeway Select Key Lime Pie Greek Frozen Yogurt (2 cups)- Nothing special here, but fine for the $2 I spent on it (sale + coupon, yay!)
    Day 24: Ben & Jerry's Red Velvet Cake (1 cup) and 3 Samoas

    I don't know how you resisted. I'd have had one of those cheesecakes...

    ikr? look at those! i probably would have got one of each.

    We actually intended to go back later in the day but took a different way back. Don't worry- I remember where that place is and will be visiting very soon!

    Day 1 - Nothing :(
    Day 2 - Risen candies and starburst candies
    Day 3- MORE Risend candies and starburst candies
    Day 4 - Starburst candies (The last in the candy dish) plus a Risen - I couldn't resist the temptation any longer
    Day 5 - One fourth of a chocolate Easter bunny (I ate his ears today) - In actuality, that should be 1/5 of a chocolate bunny (To be specific it's a Mr. Rockstar with star shaped sprinkles in it), when I was dividing up into portion sizes, I got 5 portions for the total grams it said on serving was.
    Day 6 - One fifth of my chocolate bunny - I have his head to enjoy today (that sounds really morbid)
    Day 7 - One fifth of my chocolate bunny - Today I had the rest of his ears and a bit of one foot
    Day 8 - One fifth of my chocolate bunny - Today I had the rest of his feet and part of his body. I also had a Dare fruit snack. Not all the kids were in Junior church today, so I had to eat the rest on my own.
    Day 9 - FIVE Risen caramel candies. I can NOT resist them today! grumble However, considering I have had breakfast and lunch and still have over 600 calories left (not counting my exercise calories), I think it won't matter if I have more, or if something else gets added in.
    Day 10 - Three Lindt milk chocolate squares. Yummy.
    Day 11- Tim Hortons Boston Cream Doughnut.
    Day 12 - One Lindt chocolate square
    Day 13 - Two oreos.
    Day 14 - A piece of white cake with lemon filling, a king size box of Smarties (I'm Canadian, this is the chocolate type of Smarties) and two Chapman's frozen yogurt Strawberry bars (I was feeling icky last night from eating to much sweets yesterday)
    Day 15 - Two homemade M&M cookies. Yummy!
    Day 16 - Two Chapman's frozen yogurt bars and 3 Lindt chocolates
    Day 17 - Two Chapman's frozen yogurt bars (I need to stop eating 2 a day. The will last me longer if I only eat one a day!)
    Day 18 - Bottle of Mountan Dew, Kit Kat Bar, and Chapman's frozen yogurt bar. I went over my calories for today, but I don't care. It was a stressful day and I needed that!
    Day 19 - A piece of vanilla cake with lemon filling.
    Day 20 - a couple pieces of starburst candy, ice cream bar
    Day 21 - Ice cream bar and a chocolate chip cookie
    Day 22 - Half of a king size Caramilk bar (So I was already over my calorie count for the day but with no time and no energy to workout....)
    Day 23 - About half a box of a king size box of Canadian Smarties
    Day 24 - FREE Tim Hortons Boston Cream doughnut. How can you turn down a fee doughnut????
