I Passed on Cake

I have been looking for time, motivation, reason, etc...to blog and I think I found it tonight. I made "consistent blogging" part of my extensive New Year's Resolution (and in true New Year's Resolution fashion, I have yet to make an ounce of progress). I think I found my inspiration tonight, though. It sounds simple but it was all I needed...I was offered a big slice of delicious cake and I said..."no thanks." I love cake. I don't eat cake all that often, so I never say "no thanks." Although I am technically trying to lose weight, my true focus is on lifestyle change. I have always found it difficult to pass up treats that I don't have all that often (appetizers, desserts, etc...) but if I truly am going to live healthier, I need to start somewhere. And so it begins...

Not only do I love eating cake, I love the current cake decorating fad as well. I bought the book "Hello Cupcake" and can't wait to make (but not eat??? yikes!) some of the cupcakes. A cute idea for summer below...
