A yummy cake!

Stewy tried again to make a cake out of the Quit Plan. He made the Cinnamon Teacake and it was soooo yummy! I loved it. He broke my heart and took a slice for a guy at work to try. (I could've eaten it the next day) The other cake he made didn't impress me that much but this was awesome. I AM big fan of cinnamon though. Well done to Gillespie's wife who invented these recipes. (Well, I think he said it was her as he said he wasn't a good cook. Might be like me. I love to eat but not to cook. I do what I have to)

Sorry the photo is a bit blurry and small but I copied if off the photo he put onto Facebook to show people. He used his iPhone to take it. [They don't take as good photos as a 'proper' camera!]

Stew made hamburgers for dinner tonight. Hamburger rolls, meat patties Stew makes up himself, onions, fried egg, bacon, cheese slices, lettuce, tomatoes...and...no sauce...but mashed avocado. So, it's Sweet Poison friendly!  (-:    Last night, I made a slow cooker meal. 'Beef in red wine casserole' or some name like that, as the flavour packet said. We served it with brown rice and steamed veggies.

Yesterday was a Monday, so I have to report my weight. It was 75.8, as it was today too. At least, it wasn't back up into the 76 range. Still, last week, it got down to 74.8. I must be still on that plateau range. Still, if it slowly goes down most weeks, I'll be happy, even if it's only a little.

Next 20 reasons why sugar is bad for you, so we're up to 100:

1. Sugar can contribute to Alzheimer's disease.

3. Sugar can cause hormonal imbalance - some hormones become underactive and others become reactive.
4. Sugar can lead to the formation of kidney stones.
5. Sugar can cause free radicals and oxidative stress.
6. Sugar can lead to biliary tract cancer.
7. Sugar increases the risk of pregnant adolescents delivering a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infant.
8. Sugar can lead to a substantial decrease in the length of pregnancy among adolescents.

Gee, look at number 18. What chance have us 'fat' people got? It makes us want to eat more! 19 has definitely been proved, as we all know the effects of sugar on any child, let alone one with that disorder. I was told that chocolate helps with PMS but look at number 16!!!!
