Why Bakers don't diet

Arrrrg. Ok... so it's day 5 of my Isagenix cleanse and things are going just fine. Last time I checked my weight was 3 days into my Isagenix cleanse and I lost 3 pounds, so that's good. And I haven't "cheated" once (which for me is a miracle). The only thing is... I'm a baker!!!!! All I watch are food shows and google cakes and chocolate recipes. Today I was on this awesome site CandyAddict.com for about 3 hours!!! I'm a foodie, it's my one weakness. I mean, don't get me wrong, It's not that the meal replacement shakes don't fill me up, It's just that, I like to snack and I love my chocolate. So I think after this month cleanse I'm either going to do another month cleanse and then start eating 3 low calorie meals a day again.. I can do that. I'm surprised I haven't cheated yet though, because I am the worst dieter in the whole entire universe. Even before I start a diet I'll think of ways to cheat.. I even write lists of stuff I want to eat when I get off of the diet! It's like my mouth has been in prison and it's writing it's wishlist. For some reason food tastes better when your on a diet and its illegal for you to eat!!!! Ok, so I was watching unwrapped on the food network today and they had the most amazing brownies, their website is http://www.americanbrownieco.com Hmmmm do I hear a birthday gift idea for your's truely?



I'm staying with my sister right now, so when I get back home I'm gonna make these awesome carmely chocolate rice crispy cookies things, so get that nice glass of cold milk ready.


P.S. What I wouldn't give for a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich right now.

Da Cubs.

Hey-o so today is my second day of Isagenix. I'm getting quite sick of those damn shakes lol. I think that I'd rather don't eat anything than have one of those bloody shakes. Ahhh!!!! Ok. So i had my morning shake around 8:30am and I was wicked full. When i went to run a few erans, I thought I was fine.. turns out I was wrong. 2 o'clock rolls around and I'm starving, but I'm not hungry, I'm just feeling wicked weak. So I get home and have my shake and I'm fine after that. I downed it lol, soooo sick of it already. So I get home around 3 and start making my step father a cake for Father's Day. I didn't get done with the cake until 8, so I'm pretty exhasuted right now. So here is the cake and I'm going to be posting some more Isagenix video's.. I'm doing a video everyday.

Elementary school cafeteria memories

Okay, so after an awesome weekend visiting Coral Springs, then coming back and having friend's over to enjoy the pool and Russle The Love Mussle! I had to end the weekend on a sweet note. So I decided to make these peanut butter bars. This recipe is the same recipe that was served in my elementary school cafeteria in New England. I'm pretty sure the recipe at my old school have milk chocolate as apose to semi-sweet chocolate though. But they're still fantasticly good and bring back only memories.
