I'm Back

It's been over a month since I last sat down to write something. My baking entery was writen back in the begining of September.

So I'm working on getting back into my regular rutien. That includes getting back into lose it and working out everyday. Why are there people out there who can eat what ever they want and still not gain an ounce. They all suck. Since am not one of those people I will be on the trail or Just Dancing everyday. I would like lose 10 pounds by Thanksgiving. Is this posible? V.J. and I are only using my Weight Watchers cook books from now till Thanksgiving. So maybe. I just have to keep the work out part going.

The other rutien in my life that has started to disapear is my daily log of what I eat.

I started to write this a month before Thanksgiving and here we are the week of Thanksgiving. I lost about 8 pounds but gained 2 back because our refrigerator died and I was not able to cook the healthy meals I had been. So my Christmas goal is to be 10 pounds lighter then what I am on Monday when we are home again and I can stock up my fridge with healthy food again. Good luck to everyone traveling and struggling with weight this week. Allow yourself to relax have a drink and enjoy.

Cheers
Katie

More Baking

I never in a million years would have thought I would enjoy baking. I have made two batches of white sandwich bread and a batch of french bread. Each time I learn how to make the next batch even better. The best part is I haven't needed to buy bread in 3 weeks. OK I have needed to do some major planning a head but it has been worth it. I also made cookies!!! This might not be as impressive as bread. I use to make cookies from the sheet of snap off cookie dough you just have to place on a cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes. I made my own cookie dough =). It was so yummy. I need to add less flour next time to make them a little softer.

Anyone else have baking stores or tips?

My quest to cook something different each night is still going strong. to make life easier I pick one cook book a week so that I just need to find a recipe in just that cookbook. So far we like the Rachael Ray recipies the best.

I do relize that it has been 3 weeks since I last weighed in. I decided to chance my weigh in day to Wednesday since VJ and I go to trivia on Wednesday nights and I really don't want to weigh in after drinking beer the night before. So Next Wednesday I promise I will weigh in. I just really hope it's down.

Cheers,
