    @akmomof7 - 29 years!!!! Way to go momma, congrats. I know it's off topic but long term marriages aren't heard of near as often these days. I'd say that deserves sushi for sure! And who could resist a homemade cake for a twins b-day party?

    My cheat "meal" would have to be WINE!!! I love a nice glass or two of a sweet Riesling, it's my weakness on weekends. I MUST RESIST THIS WEEKEND, as I have NOT worked hard enough to be treating myself just yet :D

    Tiramisu is my ultimate cheat. It's my favorite dessert... SO hard to keep myself from ordering when I'm out. Thankfully I don't eat out much.

    Ice cream. All of the ice cream. Since I was prego during the summer with no air conditioning I feel like I gave in too much. Now I only have a small cone when we go out with the stroller, hopefully will be able to get it to one once a week, and eventually to stop thinking about it and only have one when my man decides we deserve a treat (a lot less often than I do :smiley: )

    My cheat meal is sweets! I have such a sweet tooth, hard to keep it under control as I love to bake. Looking for any ideas that any of you ladies use when your looking for something sweet.

    I make a microwave "brownie " quite frequently. My husband doesn't like my concoction, but I think it's delicious and it helps fill my sweet tooth. So what I do is 4 T. of powdered non-fat milk, 1 T. unsweetened cocoa, about a t. stevia powder and stir. Add a T. of natural peanut butter , microwave for 30 seconds, stir. Add 1 T. sugar free coffee syrup and 1-2 T. water, stir and microwave for about 45 seconds. It ends up like a slightly under cooked brownie.

    I love sweets. I allow myself a small sweet everyday. Days I'm under calories I'll have ice cream. Usually it's a small piece of chocolate or a Rice Krispie treat or a yogurt that has candy in it. If I deprived myself I don't think I could last with this lifestyle change

    I have a single serving recipe for egg free chocolate chip cookie dough. It works out to about 330 calories, but if I'm craving, it's a lot better then when I use to make cookies and then snack on dough. Who knows how many calories i use to consume doing that.

    I also have a little ace in the hole. My 19 year old is in a group home and when hubby and I have something off plan, I can eat it once and then pack the leftovers off to my son's house. This is the plan for holidays this year, eat what I want on the actual day, but leave the rest of the feast with Steven. He's about 91 pounds soaking wet and needs the calories as much as I don't need them lol! When I was working I would leave stuff in the staff lounge to get rid of it!

    @quiltlovinlisa I also have a single serving of egg free cookie dough, but mine works out to about 400 calories, which I'm trying to allow about only once a week as a reward.

    That's the trick. Making it special and not the norm. Although, if it fits, a few pieces of hard candy daily is pretty normal for me. That's less than 50 calories. Easier to fit in.

    If you are mobile on an Android, you can't use the app. You have to open mfp up in a web browser and then you will see the little camera icon in the right corner.

    Trying this agin in the correct thread!
    I worked my bum off on the treadmill, weights and bike tonight! I haven't sweat this much in sooooo long! It felt amazing feeling it run down my forehead, maybe I'm weird. Now I just need to make a habit of it again!
