My New Year’s resolution is the same as it has been for the past 10 years; lose enough weight so that people actually notice. But, as luck would have it, every year I end up eating too much cake & drinking too many “sugar-shots” (otherwise known as carbonated drinks). What can I say, the baking world loves me, a bit too much.
All of us have a list of things that we want to do at the start of the year, which gets recycled at the start of every year. Come on, admit it, you haven’t achieved much of what you wanted over the past 5 years. Yeah, yeah, let it out, cry a little, we’re all losers here.
There are certain things that I wanted to achieve, that I haven’t come close to doing over the past years. But, as they say, hope springs eternal. Some of the things I wanted to do, as crazy as they are, I would like to share, to inspire you & to prove that; NO! You are not the craziest person on the planet.
- Lose a noticeable amount of weight.
- After weight loss, go shopping for uber hot clothes.
- Also after weight loss, get a complete makeover.
- Also after weight loss, start meditating every day.
- Also after weight loss, plan hiking trips to stay fresh & energized.
- Also after weight loss, go on a Caribbean cruise.
- Also after weight loss, plan a Euro trip, with the family.
- Also after weight loss, learn some new dance form.
- Also after weight loss, wait for Mr. Perfect to come knocking on the door.
So, do you see what the problem is here? TOO MUCH CAKE, I tell you. Who invented cake anyway? I dare you to tell me who it was. & tell me how much that guy weighed. It might console me a bit, JUST a bit. & maybe if he weighs too much, I’ll convince myself that cake is a bad thing. But I hope cake doesn’t take it the wrong way.
I would like to take this opportunity to formally pledge my allegiance to cake, although I might have to lay off it for a bit, but cake should know that I shall always love it & it will be forever in my heart, if not in my tummy.
Now which one of you wants some “carrot cake”-minicupcake-thingys?! xD
