anyone planning a cheat day for mother's day?

I sure am!  my hubby asked what I wanted to do for dinner and I told him I want to stay home, watch movies, read and just relax.  He didn't beleive me at first when I told him what I wanted for dinner...as we all do, I eat healthy basically all the time, have the occational treat, but as a whole eat healthy.  SO...I want Chili Dogs and Nachos, Maybe a few wings too!  Cut pineapples and strawberries!  The double chocolate cake from Costco's...if you haven't had it, it is AMAZING...too rich to have much though.  with vanilla ice cream...how perfect does THAT sound ????

what are you all doing?

I'm planning on going to a steakhouse and devouring the biggest juicy steak there is....followed by a few beers and brownie's ala mode!!!  I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Me too!  I want a lazy day where I have no "to do" list Can you say mimosas for brunch?  Ok, and some food too!  Waffles or some decadent French toast and lots of bacon and sausage.

And dinner....something with lots of cheesey goeyness.  That chili dog idea sounds yummy, kae!

And then I will have to call out sick on Monday for ODing on the fat/sugar content in all that food/booze! LOL

Not just yes, but hell yes!  I've already requested a champagne breakfast in bed.  And I don't mean just a glass....the whole bottle, and some food too! 

My mom wants to go to the Cheesecake Factory. I normally check the nutrition info before I head out to a restaurant, but they don't have any! I guess that should tell you just how bad it is? I'm still going to make healthy choices as best I can, which means I'll be asking how things are prepared and whatnot-I've looked at the menu and think an omelette with veggies is looking like the best choice (I can ask for egg whites/substitute,) but I will indulge in their 'low' carb cheesecake. Already made plans to split a piece with my sister AND I have my day logged already so it will fit within my calories, but I might do some light cardio later just to keep my mind at ease. 

I sure am too.  I baked my first cheesecake today.  All my sons are gone from home and my husband will be gone with his buddies drinking beer at the river.  So I will relax and watch tv for Mother's Day and I will eat a piece of the cheesecake.  I must be very careful because of being diabetic now, but a small piece won't hurt.

I Just went out with hubby and kids and picked up baccon ( probably only have 1 piece) and waffle batter and strawberries and whip cream for breakfast in bed :) Nummy other then that I am not sure what we are doing for dinner but I will probably be able to keep my breakfast around 250 calories maybe a little more......as for cheese cake if you make your own there are actually some really good recipe's that are sugar free or lower in sugar (if you don't mind splenda) at http://splenda.allrecipes.com/Index/Index.asp x?nodeid=7 I don't use other artificial sweeteners but I am sure there are recipes for those to....I actually made one for christmas that was really good!!!!!1

We are taking my mom out to dinner tomorrow evening. It's a buffet. I'll try to make good selections but tomorrow will be considered a no counting day.  I'll simply enjoy it and worry about the damage on Monday!

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there.

I am going to try to be good considering last week end I totally binged on cupcakes and was up 6 pounds on Monday so I will try to keep it under control tomorrow Im planning on not eating breakfast or lunch so that I can use my calories for dinner and dessert!

YES, MEEEE TOOO!!! I think we are going to a Steakhouse too and there WILL be drinks involved but I am going to try to keep it under 2000-2400 for the day.

Good luck :)

I DID! I had home made choc chip cookies and a massive helping of meatballs and pasta, as well as some home made granola bars! I feel disgustingly bloated now!

I'm taking my mommy to brunch at Joans on Third... that should be a good 1000-calorie eggs benedict/mimosa fest. I ordered a dozen Sprinkles Cupcakes... don't even want to think about how many of those I'll be scarfing. And then my brother is taking the whole family to Morton's Steakhouse for dinner... definitely not going to be a "skinny" day for me. But I haven't cheated in over 3 months so hopefully this will be the "jolt" that gets me out of this stupid 121 plateau. It's Mother's Day... and nothing makes my Asian mother happier than seeing her daughter eat plenty of good food. :)

after a 3 wk vacation of extragavant restaurants I didn't feel like a 'cheat' day today so eating normally.

BUT, wish I'd thought of mimosas.  Can't buy wine on Sunday here or I'd have bought some inexpensive champagne for today :(

I have thought about it, but i have had way too many cheat days lately (pretty much stopped counting for 3 days straight....not good!) Plus i am not a mom so i dont feel that i get to use that excuse haha. My dad is going to be grilling tonight but luckily they are on a diet too , so he told me that he will have chicken. I really appreciate how supportive my dad is of my dieting, he even gives me tips and i give him tips! So i will prob. have a small peice of chicken and some veggies :) yum! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you moms! Don't you dare feel guilty about treating yourselves, you deserve it!

I "cheated" but got full really fast.  not used to it I guess.  I ate 1 chili cheese dog, nachos...(filled about 1/3 a dinner plate) and pineapple and strawberries.  I thought I would eat at least 2 chili dogs, but couldn't.  I did have a yummy piece of chocolate cake, but could only eay about 2/3 of it!  

Wow...I am not used to junk food anymore that is for sure!  It was good, but I don't want it again for a while. 

Hopefully get hubby to go on a walk with me now.

i did too!

for breakfast i had eggs benidict and lunch i had a lot of gooey, cheesey quesedillas!

for dinner i think we're going out and i'll probably get dessert too.
:]

You bet I did! I took my mom out to get pizza and icecream! It was delicious! I also had a pop for the first time in MONTHS.
