Looking for friends who don't eat "clean" and healthy

@crzycatlady1 that seems like a whole lot of crazy. On the one hand I'm like poor woman (mental health issues are terrible things) on the other hand I'm like poor y'all. Congrats on the house! I always have wanted to buy an older fixer upper. We'll see if one day I can make that happen.
On another note, I think I've finally gotten over my Super Bowl food hangover. I ate so much.1 -

Through all of that, along with the general craziness of moving into a new (150 year old) house, my eating/food has been all over the place lol. There have been days, like Sunday, where I don't think I ate anything at all besides ibuprofen and diet soda, and then days like last night where I ate nachos for supper as we were hooking up security cameras around our house
Found my scale so I weighed myself this morning, for the first time since last Friday, and I'm holding steady so happy about that! She has till the end of the day today to remove the rest of her property from our garage and then we've been told by a deputy to move what's left to the road. There's a car in the garage that we may have to get towed out as well. I may just have coke and rum for supper tonight lol
Holy crap.
Yep - it would definitely be a coke and rum night for me if I were in your shoes!
Rum and coke? I think I'd be at whiskey straight from the bottle...
@crzycatlady1 I admire how calm you seem!!!
Oh I'm a nervous wreck right now lol. She's here right now loading her car and I'm watching her on a security monitor feed, utterly surreal! She trashed the house too before she left-dog poo smeared on the floor, cleaning supplies and water dumped on the floor; she threw a rock through a stain glass window, took off all the inside door knobs, removed all the light bulbs etc etc. And this wasn't even a foreclosure situation-she was selling a house and we bought it-crazy!
I'm binge drinking diet soda right now and eating potato chips, that's breakfast and lunch 0 -

I need to get my Xbox Kinect back in order.
What do you like to do on Kinect? I have one, but no idea how to make use of it fitness-wise.
I Zumba!
I use that too but not as much anymore because my daughter wants to play with me and it bugs me that it doens't work well with 2 people so I often let her play her game by herself (Nickelodeon Dance). 0 -

My in-laws are having pity on us and bringing rotisserie chickens and sides for supper tonight, so I will have actual food (haven't had time to get groceries since we've moved). The rum and coke will be dessert 4 -

casseroles!
I do; I'll need to write it up and post it in a bit. But it's delish ❤️2 -
I just started getting back to the gym after a year away, and I went to the grocery store today and saw those little Reese's eggs for Easter. Today, the resistance was strong. But, good to know others find a balance

This is for @fitoverfortymom and anyone else who wants it!
Tante Alicia's Chicken casserole - tweaked
Meat of 1 rotisserie chicken shredded/broken up (no skin)
2 cans 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup
1 chopped bell pepper
1 finely chopped onion (or green onions are fine too)
1 small can mild green chillies
8 oz sour cream
8 oz 0% plain Greek yogurt
6 oz reduced fat shredded cheese - such as cheddar, Mexican blend, colby, etc.
Unsalted tortilla chips (I found unsalted at Whole Foods)
Mix everything except the chips in a large bowl. In a casserole dish, make a layer of chips, about 1/2 of the chicken mix, another chip layer, remaining chicken mixture, and then a layer of tortilla chips on top (you can certainly make more layers; this is the best way if you're trying to minimize the chip usage). Bake in a 350 F oven about 30 - 40 mins until everything is hot and melty
How you divide it is up to you; I made it as 6 servings and those were really big and thick because I used a smaller but deeper casserole dish lol. Came out at 545 cals per serving (totally acceptable for a dinner), 37g carbs, 24g fat, 46g protein
EDITED: forgot about the can of green chills!! Aaahh!3 -
this is great. thank you! my family will eat this up. 545 is right about where i like to be for dinner, too! YESSSS. THANK YOU!Illy_Mooncat wrote: »This is for @fitoverfortymom and anyone else who wants it!

KFC super crunch for supper!
Also, this weekend, we celebrated my brother in laws and his wife's birthday. I make cake for everyone's birthday.
Brother in law got a lime cheesecake and sister in law got red velvet cake with cheesecake in the middle (cheesecake was coated in magic shell). Cake was iced with a brown sugar cream cheese frosting.
Neither of them said thank you. Typical. I worked hard on those cakes. My husband asked sil if she was able to make me caramel macarons for my birthday, and her response was "oh hell no" and went on to complain about how hard they are.

My daughter make a similar red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and filling a while back. It was a multi layer, sculpted cake and she asked me to be a taste tester. omg I almost didn't make it through that lol.cerise_noir wrote: »KFC super crunch for supper!

Since they don't appreciate it can I appreciate it from afar? Those cakes sound to die for.
Since the Super Bowl I've been minding my P's and Q's. Valentine's Day is coming and we're going to a fancy dinner (and I will eat all the chocolates I have been avoiding in the store every single time I go) so in order to still lose weight one must make sacrifices...sigh.
I will just live vicariously through y'all until after next week when I can resume my normal scheduled programming and not have to "bank" calories.4 -

Those both sound amazing! For when their birthdays roll around next year, may I suggest this:

@cerise_noir Seriously??? Your family needs a good pie to the face. Those cakes sound incredible and like a lot of work. I agree with @pinuplove , next year make those cakes for YOURSELF and don't give them any ❤️5

That would be a waste of a good pie!
But yeah, ingratitude sucks - those cakes do sound delicious, and it's sad that they couldn't be bothered to say a simple thank you. @cerise_noir We appreciate you in their stead! 6 -
I ate very unclean to lose all my weight because I didn't need the added stress of eliminating all my favorite foods. Now that I'm maintaining I'm tightening up things but I'll never just give up all processed foods, it's just about eating less of them. Anyway, I've been active on MFP for 500+ days straight so feel free to add.4

Lol Well it's none of their business. So they can go ahead and complain to themselves. Reasons my diary is now private!
Seem you are trying to calm the wave of negativity by in turn throwing it back as loudly at them. I dunno....Yelling at someone telling them not to yell never seems to work. But I think the thread will fill your intentions.
Like the punk girls above said...diet agnostic for me. I don't care what you want to do, but don't go preaching "the only way..." sermon to me.
Cheers.2 -

I don't even categorize my foods as clean, unclean, junk etc. It may be there in the back of my mind on occasion as I do want to make sure I'm eating plenty of nutrients. I do go through periods where I "tighten it up" as well, but I just simply eat to live for the most part. Those restrictions...they never worked long term (more than two months ) for me.
Eating what I want, when I want, within calories for the day or week, does work for me. In short, I agree with you.
I added it under cardio....cerise_noir wrote: »
