"Eat All The Sweets" - A 30 Day Tale of Love & Happiness

mathjulz

I just looked back at this week, and I actually have had sweets. Nice! So here's my round 2

Day 1 (Sunday, 6/8): Chocolate chip cookie from Dan's Bakery
Day 2 : bread with honey. I also went to Sizzler and ODed on their rolls with maple butter. While not exactly a sweet, it was a treat for me!
Day 3: Two "ah nuts!" cookies from the DoubleTree hotel
Day 4 (today): 1 cup of Meadow Gold turtle tracks ice cream. The vanilla ice cream is much better flavor than my normal (Kroger brand), and I love the chocolate and caramel mixed in. MMmmmm...

Today: Morning tea Arnott's Monte Carlo and Kingston biscuit (cookies) and a mini choc cupcake

For supper

hopjesvla which is a dutch coffee custard
used this recipe
http://allrecipes.com.au/recipe/1377/coffee-custard.aspx
Used less sugar about 95 grams instead of 110, and added tsp of coffee essence plus a very strong coffee/espresso.
Looks like poop, tastes like wonderful! Loved it!

Finally something else than ice cream! Raspberry cheesecake.

I want! That looks so yummy! Did it taste as good as it looks?

It's not bad, would have been better with real sugar and full fat cheese though... but my mom is diabetic and watching what she eats so I couldn't do it.

I bought those Nature Path organic pop tart knock offs today and got some with some Talenti.

Just yum (but I'm eating at maintenance today).

The cherry pomegranate (something pomegranate, maybe not cherry) were really good.

Today I finished off that Safeway blueberry vanilla cheesecake Greek frozen yogurt, had 3 dark chocolate coins, aaaaand.....tonight there will be carrot cake! Today's my son's 19th birthday, and it's the only cake he likes.

Well this thread isn't going quite like the OP expected.

The reaction itt gives me warm fuzzy feelings.

I've never tried that stuff. Never will.

I bought the chocolate ones, I figured it would be easier to eat with ice cream than fruit stuff (I don't like fruit with chocolate).

So today I had two of the chocolate ones with gelato (one with hazelnut, one with cookie caramel crunch), some brioche with chocolate chips, and a bear claw (which was good, but a bit disappointing as I was expecting something amazing as that place typically has amazing croissants). I guess it's what 10 days of eating under maintenance did to me (and avoiding the brioches my mom brought me). Was worth it though, but it definitely reminded me that it's not worth eating croissants and brioche more than once in a while.

I think I just drooled on myself. If I have fruit (or like the pumpkin pie Pop Tarts), I have them with vanilla ice cream, but I generally go for chocolate or chocolate peanut butter. My daughter put a whole tray of brioche in my cart once, there were probably 14 in there. Then she wouldn't eat them because she thought they were muffins with sugar on top, so guess who was eating them every day for the next 2 weeks.

I actually bought a Brioche at Whole Foods too this morning (my mom brought 3 from France and there's only a bit left, the kids ate most of it). Just found out today that mine is selling them. I don't think I'll touch it though (it's one of those things I love but only have once in a while really because it takes 100g to be satisfied and it's 350 calories and you're hungry an hour later). My favorite is still the one from Wegmans though, it has little pieces of half melted sugar in it (like 'cramique' or 'craquelin' in Belgium) and it's like crack, but the small loaf is like 1300 calories and I could easily eat it all.

Day 30- It was my birthday, so I had an oreo crème filled and a brownie filled chips ahoy, then banana tempura and like 3 slices of red velvet cake with vanilla frosting.
Day 31- Devil Dog
Day 32- 3/4 of a strawberry Pop Tart, a cup of cherry vanilla ice cream and a Sara Lee Brownie Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake. It's really tasty but had I known it was so small, I probably would have gotten something else.
Day 33- Sara Lee Brownie Chocolate Chip Cake, Oreo creme filled chips ahoy

Hmmmm, I might have to pay a visit to Wegmans! The ones we got were mini ones, I guess. They were the size of a small muffin, and just around 200 calories, with salt crystals sprinkled on top. That's what she thought was sugar, and so did I until I took a bite!

Wow salt on brioche is kinda odd.

I've been having those 'waffle waffle' waffles for breakfast. Little bit of buttery and sugary goodness... 360 calories a pop :laugh: (nutritions are 140 calories for 33g. Mine this morning was 85g).
