I made a fabulous loaf of pumpkin bread today and I am so proud. I love to mess around in the kitchen but not when it comes to baking because you usually have to follow a recipe pretty closely. I am more like a mad scientist in the kitchen, a little of this and a little of that. Today while organizing my pantry I found a can of organic pumpkin left over from last holiday season, and a half a bag of white chocolate chips. I ground some wheat flour, threw in a couple of eggs and a stick of butter plus some brown sugar and wha-la pumpkin bread magnific. I should have added a bit more flour because it took longer to bake than it should have, but I just covered it with tin foil and baked an extra 20 mins. It was perfect, of course Luke thought it looked burnet and he kept saying "Is that all I'm gonna get for snack, is that burnt up punkin bread." I didn't go off my diet but I did break a corner off one of the kids slices just to make sure it was as good as it smelled.
I also washed all the kids bedding today, I'm not sure if I had ever washed the big boys sheets since we moved in. They go to bed mostly clean so I guess the sheets were in pretty good shape because they didn't smell the slightest bit stinky. (remember I hate laundry)
I'm still walking with MW twice a week, and we went tonight since it was pouring this morning. I"ve lost some cm off my chubby ankles (Nate even noticed) and I am feeling like I can walk up my driveway and not get winded.

I guess we both wash sheets "European style." :) I can't believe you didn't measure so we can have the recipe for punkin bread too!
glad your feeling better with the changes... you've inspired me to get back on track.:)
