    Phew!! Glad to see I wasn't alone! :smile:

    If tomorrow is your normal weigh-in day, will you be sticking to it after all that candy or skipping it for this week?

    I didn't eat THAT much, but still that dang EB better not ruin my weigh-in!! Lol

    I went over today, but I didn't eat a LOT of sweets... A piece of 'bunny cake' after dinner and a small piece of chocolate (A hershey's bunny) a little bit ago. I didn't go WAY overboard, so I'm happy about that, but c'mon, it's Easter... and you can't have Easter without chocolate... it just isn't right... lol

    Instead of candy in the eggs this year for the kids, I used change. My kids still got a chocolate bunny and some peeps, but we aren't overflowing with candy. I think they were happier to have the money in the eggs than candy.

    Tomorrow is a new day, so for all of you who splurged this weekend, don't sweat it, just jump back on that horse.

    Happy Easter everyone.

    I ate so much candy I have that yucky I-ate-too-much-chocolate feeling.

    I was relatively good:

    One hollow chocolate egg,
    two kit kat minis
    two Crunch Eggs with Peanut Butter.
    One chocolate chip cookie from McAlister's

    With the amount I used to eat, I call this a win.

    i didn't splurge on easter candy (only one fun-sized kitkat), but we went to an easter buffet with decadent desserts for brunch. i had a raspberry fudge brownie, slice of carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, slice of banana nut cake, mini raspberry cheesecake, mini lemon cheesecake, and strawberries, bananas and pound cake dipped in a dark chocolate fondue.

    all delightful, but i am intermittent fasting until 2 pm tomorrow and back to low carbs. :)

    Well...............a couple of peanut butter eggs in her basket were for Mama and Papa...............Easter is the only morning of the year where we wake up to CANDY!! But really it wasn't the candy we splurged on, but the great dinner that "I" made..........proud to say........my first Easter dinner as the ONLY cook with my family!! I still kept it healthy though.

    yes, I did today and some yesterday. But tomorrow, I will be done with candy again. Have to put the monster back in the bag. Will continue with my no sweets until Sunday rule. Make is much easier to deal with for me my "sugar monster"

    Indulged but not splurged. I had 2 squares (yes squares not bars) of Mo's Bacon Bar's from Voges (bacon chocolate; google it, it's actually quiet good) @ 57 calories each, 4 peeps @ 28 calories each, and half of a peanut butter cup egg (1/2 being 85 calories). Just for reference my current goal of calories is 1680/day so that isn't too bad for a holiday.

    I also happen to burn 1158 calories in exercise too. That is a little more than normal, but I didn't exercise extra for that though. I USUALLY burn ~ 600 to 700 on a Sunday (and around 1/2 that on a weekday). My wife wanted to go for an hour long walk that evening plus the lawn needed mowed too. That plus my usual exercise put me over the 1K mark. Half the candy I had after the walk when I realized just how many calories I burned that day.

    Good thing is I can enjoy a piece or two of candy for several days until it's all gone and still be doing okay. I did the same thing during girl scout cookie season. Two cookies a day until they were gone. It was an awesome treat and lasted long.

    This does bring up a great point though. I've noticed when I'm in a weight loss regiment, when I DO indulge in a small amount something "bad" I enjoy it so much more. That occasional slice of cake, that occasional candy bar that special dinner on your birthday ALL are SO much more enjoyable when it is done in moderation as part of a good regime.

    Anyone else notice that?
