I am feeling a little triumphant today. I realized while I have not lost the weight I would have liked to, I am still at a lower weight than I was last year. I haven't been able to work out this week because of birthdays and such, but I also haven't had any chocolate this week (except for that frosting which is now all gone!) When I was baking the cake for tonight I discovered what was missing from my cake making-the smelll of my mother's mixer as it worked. That was why it always felt like a birthday. Well, time for new traditions, as long as it doesn't involve using yogurt butter-which does not bake well into a cake.
