So it is a happy happy weekend post!  This weekend I was happy to honor a friend's request for German Chocolate cake for his Birthday.  I am always happy to bake!  I am happy to be in a kitchen creating my miracles.  Then I'm not always happy afterwards because I eat too much of my homemade goodness.
This weekend was different then the usual.  Saturday I went out to a sushi restaurant and since I was very hungry I went ahead and ordered an appetizer in addition to my avocado california rolls.  I topped off the evening by heading home for the German chocolate cake.  So I did not expect any progress on the scale today.  Much to my pleasant surprise, I was down to 138 pounds.  Only two pounds away from my minimum goal!
I also had an amazing run Friday evening.  About 4.25 miles of sheer happiness.  I came home feeling so rejuvenated and happy, it was amazing.  There is amazing feeling associated with taking care of your body, and I am feeling it!  Don't forget that working towards your goal is not worth missing out on special occassions and yes, cake with friends and family.

 Yes, vegans make darn good cake.  This German chocolate was delish, and the best part was sharing it with others after I enjoyed a slice.
