It's Natural...Blah!!

Yesterday I was pumped, ready for anything, full of energy and on top of that, I felt like a rock star!! Yesterday was wonderful! 

Today…well, today is a different story. That natural thing that happens to all normal women happened and I feel like a busted can of biscuits (as a pin from Pinterest says). It literally feels like I have a gut that is falling out over my pants, I’ve been walking like an elephant (all slow and stuff) and my husband, Lord help him, has no idea how this feels and therefore, persisted to grab my stomach and try to scoot right up on me this morning when I so desperately wanted to go to sleep. Needless to say, he got the monster (that rarely comes out, even in this situation) and after repeated warnings, he just left the room before he got his head bitten off.

So, that’s been my day today. Well, other than the fact that I mustered up enough energy to run this afternoon. It made me forget about the blah-ness I was feeling and made me focus on how much I was sweating. I also became acutely aware of how my new running shoes hurt my left heel when I walk, but when I run, I can’t feel a thing. I suppose this all goes with wearing them in, so I’ll suck it up, even though it’s mildly uncomfortable.

Apart from running, the day has been much like the weather: very dreary and even kind of lame. I tried to make a banana cake today and because I had to put off the actual mixing process (while the eggs and buttermilk came to room temp and while I was trying to cover another cake in fondant), I ended up forgetting the baking soda and…you guessed it…came out with dense banana hockey pucks. (Not my finest moment [or day] people) That’s one way to get rid of bananas, right?

This fondant business is a lot harder than it looks. I had no problem covering the 4 inch tall, 4 diameter cake with fondant, but found it particularly challenging trying to cover a 5 inch tall, 8 inch diameter cake. I chalk it all up to trying to hurry and not using my fondant smoother when I should have. (Oh, yeah, and my own inexperience.) But, I’m not going to quit. All in all, the project that I was working on turned out pretty nice.

For those of you still following me, forgive me. My blog has kind of swayed in the interest of cakes and less in the interest of working out. But, I promise, it will eventually get back once I get this whole body shock deal figured. I actually miss working out to a schedule and am excited to get back to it. Hopefully, these 2 weeks will get my body on track again to lose the last 36 pounds so I can start toning up and becoming the beefcake (ha, cake!!) that I know I was meant to be.
