FunSize, I meant to tell you earlier...I LOVE pumpkin spice lattes, so it's been hard for me to totally turn them down this fall. I get the one at Starbucks with nonfat milk and no whip, and while it is still calorie packed, it is significantly less than normal. Tall is 200 and Grande is 267. Like I said, not great, but not horrible. It's nice when you have additional calories left in your plan, and you can give yourself a little treat. Just a little sidenote.
The starbucks one sounds great!!! I could definitely work one of those into my plan one day
This morning I had some of the worst binge cravings I've had in awhile (for a deluxe breakfast from McD's) but instead I had a misto and a biscotti from Starbucks
I resisted getting a double cheeseburger at a near restaurant new the mall I went to today. Instead I got a plain grilled chicken breast quasadilla w/little salad-dressing ranch and french onion soup (maybe healthy?). I then took 3/4 of the quasadilla home for another meal. Yay me.
Today I resisted eating more than my snack! i had an energy bar, yogurt and two rice cakes which is good. I then was about to take a few handfuls of chocolate chips but I didn't! (:
I resisted red velvet cake and drinking alcohol when I went out for my friend's birthday this weekend! Hardest thing ever! anyone know low-fat dessert ideas or low-cal alcohol ideas?
I just resisted buying angel food cake. I love it, it's so yummy AND it was on sale! I almost couldn't resist the bargain, but then I thought to myself at 150 cals per serving, I really shouldn't get this because I'll be the only one eating it. And while I'd like to think I could stretch it to last, it'd probably be gone later tonight. Pretty proud of that.
A birthday cake I made for my Dad. It's really amazing and good, but I just couldn't justify the calories. Besides, since my mother didn't like the cake she made a crumb cake instead so I had a small piece of that. Much lower in calories
The cake I made (it was a huge hit and my Dad requested it) was a chocolate cake with peanut butter in the center, chocolate frosting and smashed up snickers on top. I've made it before (and had it) so I know it tastes good, but everyone really loved it!
My dad also said that he wants this cake for every birthday from now on
Today I have and am still trying to resist an homemade pound cake(my bf mama makes the best I am addicted) My bf mama made him one for his bday and I am trying to not go and get a piece and if I do I will have ice cream with.. Lawd help me! I have been binging since thanksgiving and trying to get back on track today.
I resisted a slice of cheesecake that I made for my husband's birthday. Prior to Thanksgiving, I was doing pretty well just having espresso after dinner. But since the food fest, I'm finding it difficult to stay within my calorie range. Tonight, I REALLY wanted to slice off a small piece of that cheesecake, but I knew that that small slice would turn into me standing in front of the cheesecake, slicing off slivers and eating them while standing. Doing just that put a 450-calorie dent in my calories last night. So, tonight, I didn't have any. I just had my espresso. Later, when my husband decides to have a piece, he'll have to slice it for himself. I'm not getting near it!
