    You should do some baking @jugar! I maybe don't relish the 3 hours it took to make 36 cupcakes (including time in the oven when I was washing up etc) but always enjoy the results!

    24 pretty lemon drizzle cupcakes have gone into OH's work for his birthday. The 'rejects' have stayed home with me. :D I ate one yesterday, without any buttercream to see whether the cupcake with drizzle was enough (to cut calories) but I did think it needed something extra. I've eaten one with buttercream today, friends will take a couple, then there are a few with lemon flavoured glace icing as that was another thought I had for reducing the calories - will see what those are like when the icing has set. I do find even the buttercream ones freeze well so that's the plan for the remainder.

    Should be going for a walk with a friend in a bit, though the weather is changeable. I have had some washing out (it's been sunny, if not warm) and I feel like the bed sheets were out for under 30 minutes but came in almost dry when it started raining as the wind had picked up. It's sunny again, but I won't hang anything else out now. I have things I want to do in the garden, but we keep having morning frosts so I am delaying.

    @jugar You have been a busy traveler lately! Let us know if you ended up making the cake. Brad is traveling for work again this week (so he will have to weigh-in on Friday btw) and it's the first week my Mom will be here and that I'm in the office so I am going to make her and I a big vat of bean mix chili soup to take for lunches or to have for easy dinner while he's away.

    We looked up the Indian in Lloydminster and it looks good! He will have lots of meals out and he loves Indian so he just may make it over there!

    @eggfreak Green pea guac sounds like it would be super summery and fresh! Yum!

    @DD265 Holy crap!! Those cupcakes look AMAZING!! Are you sure you don't ship to Canada? LOL

    Great weigh-ins @eggfreak @conleywoods @lauren_989 .... helping to off-set the big blowout red Brad and I contributed this week lol

    Told myself I was going to get my 10,000 steps on top of any biking I was going to do so I feel happy with how I did

    Definitely up from earlier in the week. I'm blaming the burger, fries, and milkshake I had last night plus TOM. My mental health is a bit better, just waiting to see if it's a placebo effect or if the med changes are doing their job. Physio has been helping with some acute pain so that's good! Just waiting for the up and down weather to figure itself out and then I can enjoy some sun

    @DD265 those cupcakes! you could open a bakery and sell just those :sunglasses: My daughter makes amazing cupcakes too - I don't have the patience. In any case I decided to make a mini-cake - somewhere between a cake and cupcakes. One layer instead of 2, or two really small layers if I have small pans somewhere, and half of it can come with me to my dad's. It was his birthday last month and I missed it, so this way the cake gets eaten by two birthday boys instead of one.

    @eggfreak what a fantastic turnaround! You have had the power of NO on your side this week for sure. Don't celebrate by saying too many yesses :wink:

    @ashleycarole86 @jugar thank you! It's the first time the buttercream has turned out well - normally it looks awful and I end up smoothing it with a knife. Borrowed a friends piping nozzle (bigger than mine) and it made all the difference. The glace ones are nice enough but not that much lower in calories, so I'll probably just do buttercream ones in the future. ;)

    Slouching into the end of a long week! My eating has been odd with portions all kerflooey…I finally got the more active job that I’ve been trying for since the late fall and know I’ll reign it in, now.
    Putting a plan into action for the rest of the month while I go to Boston for a pet sitting gig will help.
    More soon!

    Good morning on Sunday. Weekends are harder for self control for me, the day is less structured and the food is all there. After a Friday evening social that went 'ok' foodwise - I was faced with Saturday, and the slight craving for salty fatty goods (from the wine Fri pm). I said no to potato chips and served up vanilla icecream & cake to dad without sampling a drop. My indulgence however was my lunch... brie & tomato on french bread - transporting me back to a France trip....then I had a second one. C'est la vie!! And it's all gone now so no more temptation today.
    Will take some time later today to prep good foods for the work week.

    Well done WAs!!

    We did not have the overall team loss to make it into the top 3, but vacations happen, right? I have a feeling next week's total is going to be much more impressive :wink:

    Hi everyone!
    I am so sorry for forgetting to check in 🙈🤷
    It was busy week working in schools. I am on two week holidays now and only working in the hotel.

    CW is sadly 222.0 lbs 🥺
    I've let myself down 🥺 Eating on the go is never good thing, but I'm hoping with time off and lovely weather it will make me feel more motivated 😄
    Hallo to you all, new and old friends 😄 let's smashed it on April 🥳
