Over the years I have walked into my kitchen and whipped up some pretty awesome desserts including:
This Brown Sugar Pound Cakebaked for a ladies brunch,
this German Sweet Chocolate Cake I made for a breakfast gathering,
and this Key Lime Cake I tried just because I wanted to.
All of these confections are amazing and I have an arsenal of more tasty looking recipes waiting for their turn in my oven. But first I have to make sure I have room for them around my waistline. In order to make that happen, I’m going to try something pretty radical for me. I’m going on a “D” word.
I’m currently reading Dr. Ian Smith’s Shred. After analyzing the first three chapters, I see that this “D” plan requires a generous dose of discipline. Discipline means that maybe I can’t bake my cake and eat it too for 6 whole weeks. It also means that when I visit my own blog, I might have to do so with someone on the phone who can talk me down from my impulse to bake.
Orrrr…maybe I can use this experience and try to make beautiful healthy foods to share. Yeah. Maybe I’ll do that. We’ll see.
This post was inspired by Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop.
The prompt I chose this week was: Book review! What are you reading this summer?
Now it’s your turn. What are you reading?
