I can't believe I ate that!!! - Monday, May 2, 2005

I had a decent size bite of my son’s buttery, soaked in syrup pancake.
Oh yeah, mama just can't throw food away, so I'll finish it.

Oh Susan, you should have seen me yesterday with my daughter's french toast that she didn't finish. I must have looked pathetic, leaning over the garbage, piece of french toast on the fork, fighting with myself not to put it in my mouth. And I won! I don't think one bite of pancake will lead to your downfall;)
 
So far, so good - but it's only 8:30 am! Ask me again after lunch...

Hey Shelley!!! I made that chocolate chip cookie recipe you e-mailed me and OH MY GOD those are soooo good! Yeah, I packed some of them in my lunch today. So I guess I'll fess up for those cookies in advance, because I WILL eat them and I WILL enjoy them. }(

Thanks again for that recipe, Shelley. :)
 
Hi Emily! Yes, those cookies are pure evil of the most delicious kind. I think it's the fact that they are fat and chewy and the shaved chocolate just gives them that extra oomph! I'm so glad you enjoyed them! Did you make the whole recipe, or half it?
 
I made half of the recipe. 112 cookies seemed like a lot, even for ME. :) And I realized when I started mixing stuff together that I only had 3 eggs anyway.

You should have seen me grating that chocolate bar. What a mess! I think there were more chocolate shavings on my arms than there were in the bowl! Next time I must make a point to use my IKEA grater contraption that catches all the shavings in a closed container.

You know, I think these cookies can be classified as a health food because of the oatmeal content. Oatmeal is good for your heart and is a good source of fiber. Therefore the cookies are good for your heart and will keep you regular. Would you not agree with my logic? :)
 
so far so good but only 10am. I had frosted mini wheats and later a banana. That's pretty clean for me!

Emily, I think you are ABSOLUTELY correct about the health factor. The oatmeal has to count for SOMETHING, doesn't it? I actually buy the chocolate pre-shaved, but if you put the chocolate bar in the freezer beforehand, it helps with the shaving.:)
 
Bought some Atkins Chocolate Caramel Cookie Bars that were on sale at Wal Mart for $2.50 for a box! They taste exactly like Twix chocolate bars...EXACTLY! YUM. I already had two this morning with my Passion Fruit Tea. Had the usual cereal routine going on earlier.

Pre-shaved chocolate??? I had no idea there was such a thing! You mean, I got chocolate-covered arms for nothing? Now that I know there is an easier way, I'll be making these cookies ALL the time! ;)
 
Charlotte - Those sounds soooo good! What are the calories on those bars? I love anything chocolate and caramel.

Nothin' bad so far but lunch is coming and I didn't have anything to bring with me so I'm pretty sure whatever I buy is going to be horribly delicious and horribly bad for me! lol }( }( }(

I smoked my last cigarette on March 17, 2004 at 10:00 pm!

I just ate a bagel with lots of cream cheese (strawberry-not lowfat or anything) for breakfast. It better hold me till lunch too because I didn't bring any kind of snack.

I like that thread, makes me not feel so guilty when I eat something bad, because I know that I am not alone.

I just had a quarter of a chocolate peanut butter cookie :+ and I got 2 chocolate chip cookies in my lunch box to take home to share with my DH tonight. Oh, and we are having nachos tonight, but with good healthy chips, so that's not so bad right :D

I have you all beat. I work in a food plant. Do you think I could work at a plant that makes soy milk and veggie burgers? Oh no. We make cookies, cinnamon rolls, brownies, cake, muffins,etc. ALL bad and ALL delicious and ALL available at any time (in the lab). Every day is a fight. I work out with Cathe 6 days a week 60-75 minutes per day, but I've noticed some of my spring clothes are a little tighter than last year (I started her in July). Not terribly so, but I could tell. Wonder what I'd be like if I didn't have Cathe?

I've now made a deal with myself (we'll see if I can keep it). I can only have 3 treats from the plant a week. That seems pretty generous. I'll ease it down once I can stick to that!
 
Hi all,

19:45hrs right now. Didn't do to well at lunch.

Breakfast #1 : my usual shake
Breakfast #2 : natural yoghurt and allbran
Lunch with old colleagues: focaciabread with smoked salmon and a natural yoghurt drink (plus they had birthday presents for me)
Snack at 4PM cause I would have a late dinner: sesame seed bagel
Dinner: pasta with mushrooms

Went to see the sports nutritionist today. She's a runner herself and a fitness instructor so she could relate to why the right foods were important to me and why I wanted to loose the last couple of pounds.

Guess what, I'm doing all the right things. I was eating clean most of the time, allowing myself a goodie now and then, hadn't been hungry, my food choices had the right nutrient density for my activity level, have been replacing my lack of meat with the right protein sources, plenty fruit and veggies, etc. And that I didn't loose as much weight in April as I was hoping for was just fine. She said that it was much better to loose like 2 pounds per month. But if I wanted to loose more, which she doesn't advise given my exercise level and current weight, I could replace some of the things I eat with products that have less calories (and less taste I think). So I will stick with the way I eat now, which means it will take another 2-3 months before I am at goal weight: 116-118 pounds. But it does allow for the occasional cookie or ice cream.
