We woke up before 7 this morning. I was extremely tired so in stead of sitting on the couch with her and watch a movie I decided to bake something. Hayley can't come into the kitchen because I think a kitchen is a dangerous place for a curious child that will grab everything, so normally she has to stand at the door or sit in her chair. She's been very interested in what I'm doing lately. If I do my nails she wants nail polish too. If I write she wants to draw with me. If I cook, she wants to cook, so I let her "help". After we were done I let her taste. It was so much fun doing this with her. She was impressed by every move I made. I cracked an egg and she gave me ooh's and wow's.
We made a 3 layer dark chocolate cake with white chocolate mousse filling and a dark chocolate ganache. The slices I made, I had to cut them in half because it is so rich, you really don't need a lot. I had some mousse and ganache left so I filled a few cups and finished with a whole other desert. I have people coming over this weekend and I hope nobody is on a diet. Or else I will surprise my neighbors with a few slices. I love to bake, thing is, it's all about the baking but I don't necessarily want to eat it. I just like to experiment and see others enjoy it. This weeks special has a lot to do with this weeks blogpost. I haven't weighed myself in a long time. Why? That number doesn't tell anything about who I am. Yes it will probably tell you that I am overweight and I could lose more than a few, but I don't need to see that number to know that. I know I could lose some weight. I see it in the mirror. I see it in my own eyes when I look at my reflection. I've been that chubby girl ever since I was 8 years old. I've had ups and downs but I managed to get back to the point where I felt good enough about myself regardless. I will never be a size 2. I know that and I'm more than ok with that. To show you that weight is just a number, look at this picture. All these woman weigh exactly the same. Do you see the difference? One is skinny, one is chubby. Don't worry so much about that number. It's just a number. If you feel like you should lose weight, ask yourself the following questions. Why do I want to lose weight? Is it healthy for me to lose weight? Am I being pushed to lose weight? I wouldn't want you to feel like you need to lose weight because other people think so. You are the only reason for wanting to lose weight. Not for a guy, so he will like you better. Not to fit in at school or a job. If you're even considering losing weight you should do it because it will make you healthier. You will live longer and you can be fit again. I walk up the stairs to my apartment every day. I feel like my legs will quit on me when I'm only half way up the stairs. That's a sign for me to do something about it. I'm not doing it because my brother is joking about it or my bathing suit doesn't look as good as it used to. I'm doing it because I want to be able to play with my little girl and not run out of air. I want to be able to keep up with her in stead of falling behind. You know what? I will make a promise. I will start living healthier. From now on and I will keep you updated. No, I will not step on a scale. Because that number will not make a difference. I want to be able to run again. Let's do this together. Let's get healthy together. I'm going to skip sodas and juices; cookies and unhealthy snacks. Anything that I wouldn't feed my child. I will be more conscious about what I cook and what I eat during the day. Let's get healthy together. Our body's deserve that. I believe in myself. I believe In you too. I had a lot of time on my hands the last week. So I watched some movies, series. Tried to catch up with what the world was watching. So I have a list for you guys. I started watching a few series.
Black-ish. A fun show for the family. Just fun. Nothing crazy. It's the type of show I want to watch when I don't really have the focus to sit still and look at a screen for 30 minutes but I do want to see something. The best part is that it will make me laugh. Empire. A lot of family drama. But so exiting. At the end of every episode I wish there was more to watch. It's the type of show I would watch episode after episode until I finished all the seasons. I love this show. One of the movies I saw this week is Guardians of the Galaxy. I like marvel. They did a great job on this one. I didn't want to stop it and take a break from it once so that's good. Nothing like I expected it to be. Can't wait for the second one. I also saw Life of Pi. I didn't watch the trailer. I hardly ever because most of the time they give away to much. I just heard a lot of good things about it and I can't disagree with what I heard. Nice story. It held my attention and it was not how I pictured it to be. Which is what I like. So this week was good. I didn't see anything that I regret watching. Luckily. Have you seen these movies? Let me know what you thought about it. Are you watching one or both of these shows? I would love to hear from you what you think about it, why you are watching it and what's making you watch the next episode next week. Is there anything you think I should see? Let me know. Have a great week and please send me your 'Special'. |
