Making Room for Cake

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.
