everyone sounds like they are doing great. nejarb you may not have gone over your cals, it's hard to know when eating out but your dinner doesn't sound particularly bad. i found out last nite that in general lemon tarts (personal sized) are not THAT bad for you calorie wise and we have been seeing them on menus and trying them out (greg loves lemon). we had one at new years along with a chocolate sandcastle thing and the lemon blew the choco out of the water. it was kind of interesting! and the lemon tarts i found online ranged from 200-350ish for a personal serving size depending on what they used for crust. but again way better than a 1k dessert or something for calories. and sharing is great, i try to do that now (except at a few key places where a dessert is my fave and i GET MY OWN!) because it also allows you to taste more flavors in your items than just having one big one. plus most places make desserts huge anyway and all you want is a taste.
so last nite at longs i needed to get more fiber cereal but they only had regular fiber one and no honey clusters since the store is small and doesn't stock everything...so i thought why not...i haven't had this stuff since i think when i was a kid. it was esp intriguing when i saw that a 1/2c serving has 14g of fiber and is only 60 cals. wow. so i mixed that this morning with about 1/2c honey bunches of oats for the sweetness & fun factor and i got a bowl of about 120cal 1c cereal (with milk more like 150) that is packed with fiber AND flavor, its so big i can't even really finish it (but i'm trying since i am not going to eat again til lunch). i love mixing and matching cereals to get new flavors and this one is a big hit for the nutritional value and the low cal count too. some of the peace cereals which i love are super tasty but they are like 220cals for 1c. whereas HBOO is only 120 and it's basically the same idea, clusters of honey oats and cornflakes with some fruit or almonds.
went to bed early last nite to get some extra sleep and i feel better this morning potential sore throat wise. i am going to take another airborne this morning and just keep my fingers crossed. its TTOTM also so i feel extra crappy also since i am trying to take less ibuprofen than i typically do for cramps and so my stomach hates me and my womb hates me too, it's not the best feeling to have your entire trunk system hating you. gotta love TTOTM on top of a stomach ailment. but i feel okay for the most part...just gotta watch my eating today. yesterday i had the yummiest pineapple but it was not til after i consumed some (only a bit) that i realized it was probably acidic and my stomach was going to freak. and it did...i can eat tomatoes and garlic and stuff but it just doesn't like the super acidic stuff and fruit is bad for that. so i have to lay off the pineapple for a bi, at least til after this week til my cramps stop agitating me, which i am super sad about because it was so good to eat a fruit that wasn't a blueberry or banana. SO ready for spring fruit!!!
breakfast this morning was the fiber one and honey bunches mix, coffee with extra milk, and a piece of cinammon danish toast. thank god that loaf is almost gone, it will prevent me from attacking it one day and eating it plain. i love cinammon bread, soooo tasty. better to just not have it in the house, hehe. with greg and i alone it takes way too long to eat things like that.
DJ that carrot cake you talked about got me jonesing, i love carrot cake but i like my mom's homemade version with lots of sloppy frosting, i might ask her to make it soon so that i can have a little piece. kudos on losing waistage...that's where my trouble spot is too, my low waist, so if i gain or lose it shows there right away. also bloat...yikes!
rosebud...shrimp and linguine sounds yummy. seriously guys there are way too many yummy things to eat on this thread and in the recipe thread, what to do? hehee.
oh and i posted a recipe i saw last nite on the rachel ray show that sounds yummy for a bit of a steak splurge, it's cognac sauce pepper steak. it looked SO GOOD when she made it. it's about 450 cals per person if you each eat a 6oz steak though you could maybe make it less depending on cut of beef (though i calculated lean cuts anyway) and also if you use less cream or cognac...i'd pair it with a healthy salad or maybe some roasted alexa fries (120 cals per serving) or maybe both for a splurge night at home with hubby/bf/fiance!

and see how it feels. I just really hate the bike and the treadmill so I''m hoping that I can find various workouts to do on the elliptical that are different enough that I don''t injure myself by doing the same thing day after day.
