Cupcakes, Cake, and Calories
I totally want this book for cupcake making goodness. Woohoo!
So I decided I'm going to make cupcakes for Easter. I also ran out and bought the Wilton class 2 kit so I can start teaching myself to make a basket weave cake. The only reason I started taking these classes in the first place was so I could learn how to make this cake. I don't know if I'll have time to learn it all by Easter. But I can definitely make cupcakes for sure. I'm also drooling over this tilting turntable at the moment but it's pretty expensive so I probably won't be getting it any time soon.
Are you all getting annoyed with all my cake talk lately??
I was going to make a banana bourbon cake on Saturday but I think I'm switching gears to another type of cake. We will see what I settle on, and of course I will post about it.
A couple weeks ago the LJ spotlight had the 20sknitters community featured and I joined it. I'm super sad though because I left my knitting bag at my father's house. So I get to look at all the pretty knitted goodies and not be able to pick up my own needles. Annoying, but what can I do?? I would definitely like to get that back at some point.
I'm currently in my last week of the 3 month JM challenge. Though I haven't done as well as I hoped I would do, I have lost about 9 pounds since I weighed in at the end of December. I don't know that I really lost all that because I think I just had a bad weigh in after xmas but I'll take it. Since Friday I decided that I would count calories and try to stay within my budget until the end of the challenge. Just by counting calories over the weekend I lost 2 pounds. Crazy! I'm doing pretty good so far but some days are more difficult than others. I have a little book that I've carried with me for a long time that I'm now using to count calories and write down my calorie burn. Have I mentioned I totally love my heart rate monitor??? I love that it tells me exactly how many calories my body is burning when I do certain exercises. Today I'm taking a rest day because I got a wicked migraine yesterday. It was awful. I ended up vomiting so much that I got to the point I was vomiting stomach acid. Gross!
Feeling much better today though.
