Tonight at 8pm I hopped onto the elliptical and watched the first 35 minutes of The Biggest Loser. I took a short break and then at 9pm I hopped onto the exercise bike and watched the first 30 minutes of Dancing with the Stars and channel-hopped back and forth to The Biggest Loser.
Then I stopped to check my email and some other things and never got back to either show, meaning that I missed both eliminations! Not a problem though, within minutes Google revealed brand-new recaps out there for me to read. So I know who went home from both shows. I can’t believe I actually watch not one but two reality shows now! Okay, three, if you count The Amazing Race, which thankfully isn’t a typical elimination-vote-em-off-kinda-show but it totally rocks.
The April Challenge is heating up! Those stars are starting to fly!!! It’s so exciting for me to watch everyone’s progress!!!
——- CAUTION !!! —– FOOD PORN AHEAD !!! ——–
Tomorrow is my daughter’s 19th birthday. I’ll be taking her out to dinner. I asked her where she wanted to go and she said, “Whatever the restaurant is that has that yummy dessert you know it’s like a brownie or a cookie that’s warm and has ice cream on it and then chocolate fudge sauce on the ice cream? Yeah, that’s where I wanna go.” I’m thinking she’s channeling Chili’s Chocolate Chip Paradise…
Or perhaps Carrabba’s Chocolate Dream…
Or maybe Applebee’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae…
What really sucks about this is - regardless of where we go, she’s gonna order this thing and I’m gonna sit there and watch her eat it!!! LOL, it’s okay though. I won’t be tempted. Because I looked ‘em up.
The Applebee’s Chocolate Chip Sundae is over 700 calories and over 100g carbs.
The Carrabba’s Chocolate dream is over 1500 calories and over 160g carbs!
The Chili’s Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie is also over 1500 calories and 220g carbs!
Holy Hot Chihauhau Batman! No decadent flavor is worth going that far off my diet!!! Nuh-uh!!!

wow I guess it really helps to look them up. That’s alot of calories and carbs. Good for you!
OH.MAH.GAW. Nuff said.
OMG those pictures are just indecent! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
Thanks for posting the calories though- totally turned me off afterwards
Nothing kills the joy faster than looking up the nutrition information….lol. Good for you for doing it in advance. I haven’t learned that lesson yet.
Yikes! I had better not look at those pictures. I could *walk* to the store for some chocolate right now! lol Ditto on great idea to look up the nutrition info before hand. Hope your daughter had a good one. Glad you survived. =) Delita
Hey, is thems scratch-n-sniff pictures? Food p0rn… gotta love it! Agree with the other Chickies: excellent idea to look up the calories beforehand. What’s that annoying diet platitude… “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”.
Thanks for visiting me over in my haggish corner of the blogosphere!
Love the pictures you’re putting in your posts! I was hoping you’d put the nutrition in and you did!
Thanks for the tweet as well.
I messed up my stars somehow and now have two lines instead of one.
Eileen, hope you made your deadline AND then took the night off! How goes the supermom? Delita
