    So I was trying to eat healthy (and I still do most days). I am following a macros plan. Every now and then I'll have something sweet or especially not healthy. I felt guilty about it sometimes because I was only losing about a pound a week. Well this past week I had some rough days and ate hot cheetos and some candy. Low and behold I lost almost 4 pounds. hmmmm...I say I need to be more flexible with myself. Also, I would never judge someone for the food they eat...well never say never, but I can eat pretty badly myself.

    I try to eat healthy for the most part. But I clearly can't judge anyone because a few weeks ago when I was desperate for a sugar-fix I smooshed together a tablespoon of butter with a tablespoon of brown sugar and rolled it in mini chocolate chips. Not gonna lie...I'd do it again.

    Omg this actually sounds really good.

    Been invited out to friends for dinner. On the one hand, a bit worried because I don't really know the calories and can't weigh stuff. On the other hand, I'm bringing a box of cherry chocolate pralines. They're 43 calories each and I am SO having one. (Besides, I've already walked 2 hours and 40 minutes today. I'm probably covered, so long as I stay mindful of what's on my plate and don't keep loading on.)

    Ooh pick me, pick me. I eat processed foods all the time and even fast food sometimes. As long as I'm under my calorie goal and still losing weight, who cares.

    I've got 1000 calories for dinner, thinking of an apple, banana and a costco piece of pizza, with another 150 cal for a snack later. Honestly as was said above, as long as I stay under my calorie goal I am losing weight like nothing I've ever done, maybe it's new guy excitment but this truly is working, and I can eat carbs to a degree!

    I am going to have pizza... Just not pizza with weird toppings and burned crust.

    Hey I dont really like dominos but I agree those toppings were odd...except the onions looked good. But this is why we each can have our own pizza :smiley:

    And the crust was burned! That is almost blasphemous as that is the best part of the pizza for me. LOL

    ETA- I wanted to do so many different things at the Domino's I managed but corporate only "took my ideas into consideration". That was code for we will keep serving what we serve. But the dough was fresh and the cheese is real mozzarella.

    burnt crust pizza doesn't bother me one bit. we have a place near me "anthony's coal fired pizza" and their motto is pizza: well done which is a nice way of saying they burn the crust, i dig it. they even have a pizza without cheese that is crave-worthy - it's topped with breaded eggplant.

    I suppose there's something for everyone. *shrug*

    Texas Roadhouse for dinner last night. Two rolls with butter, a bacon cheeseburger with a side salad, and two light margaritas. Then some Cadbury mini-eggs during the movie. Ahh, yeah!

    BTW, the CHiPs movie is hilarious! Highly inappropriate, but hilarious!

    Sounds tasty!

    How does the movie compare to the TV show? I used to love watching that years ago... :)

    It is absolutely nothing like the original show.

    She didn't serve the pralines. I had my mouth all set for them and she didn't bring them out. :'(

    She did have homemade bread, mind you. I just would have had more than two slices if I'd known she wouldn't bring out the pralines. (She had ice cream, but I have an aversion to anything coffee-like, including cappucchino chip.) The canteloupe was sweet, however.

    I'm with you there. I drink my coffee black, so any version of sweet or creamy coffee even in a dessert, turns me right off.

    I'm the opposite. I despise coffee, but I love tiramisu. Lol.

    Mocha, coffee, and cappucchino-flavored baked goods are what I buy when company is coming and I don't want to feel tempted to eat the leftovers. That and anything heavily flavored with rum/rum extract. (One dessert I like is peaches in a cinnamon-rum sauce, but if the flavoring goes into a cake, it's usually too strong for me.)

    I absolutely LOVE Kodiak Cakes... I want to suggest them every time I see a thread with one of those sad banana egg pancake recipes.

    I was looking at those this weekend but I did not bite the bullet. I have heard good reviews about them though.

    I was looking at those this weekend but I did not bite the bullet. I have heard good reviews about them though.

    I actually did buy them but have yet to make any - I really need to do that this weekend. I'll try them and report back (even though I trust @Chef_Barbell completely).

    So, since I forgot to defrost the meat for what I was GOING to cook tonight, I'm thinking chicken nachos for dinner. Because yum.

    That is the worst, especially if it's a meal you are looking forward to. But nachos are awesome!
