It's Cake Time...

It is our neighbor friend, Shannon's 40th birthday. I made a Cherry chip cake with strawberries and cool whip, plus made some chocolate happy birthday with hearts to go on top. Easy to make and tasted pretty good. I later thought I should have added vanilla or white chocolate pudding to add flavor.. 

 All the layers.. I don't make cakes that often any more.. and this one actually turned out pretty. 

Once again.. I made home made bread. I really need to start making this more often.. Maybe whole grain too??  It's super easy and quick plus tastes so much better then store bought! 

Party at the neighbors last night.. 

 I didn't make the best snack choices, I did have 3 slices of brochetta that Steve made with my bread, some chips with dip and 1 chicken wing with 2 glasses of red wine and lots and lots of water. 

 I also met another Personal Trainer woman last night. She does not do any cardio. I was shocked! She only lifts weights 3 days a week. This woman won 2nd place in a fitness /body tone competition in October. She got down to 9% body fat and only ate protein for weeks to get that low in fat. She looked amazing in the photos. Of course like she said.. you can't maintain that same body and 4 months later.. pretty much back to where she was before the competition. It was really nice to talk with another trainer. She has only been certified for 3 years and has a heated gym in her garage. The nice part. She invited me to train with her and lives super close by.. next neighborhood over from us. I will definitely be calling. Now to find some one who loves to run out side as much as me.. I really need to work on my kids.. 

We didn't even stay out very late.. home by 11pm.. Which is late enough considering I'm up early every day.. and bed is usually around 9:30pm.. 

It was another morning where everyone wanted home made waffles for breakfast. My secret is to add vanilla to the batter.. Steve even cooked up some thick slices of bacon in the oven.. nice and crispy. 

Not healthy eating this morning, I'll be back on track the rest of the day with healthy foods.
