Yep, still fat.
February 24th, 2009 | Author: Sassy
I have to confess…I have not started the Couch to 5K program like I said I was going to do. Dang, failure sucks. Here’s the thing. I’m really busy and I like sleep, meaning my evenings are booked and morning workouts are a non-option.
Why so busy? I don’t even know, really. I guess mostly due to baking…which does NOT help the whole fat thing. Last week, I learned to make cheese and then had a marathon of baking for three days that ended in some pretty, yummy sweet treats (the comma was on purpose – indicating that the treats are both pretty AND yummy). This week is full of baking, too. I made a german chocolate cake for my mom last night (I’ll post about THAT experience on the other blog tomorrow…), and tonight is her shindig.
Thursday is someone I know’s birthday as well, so tomorrow night will be devoted to baking something yummy for her. And then seeing a certain movie with which we are both obsessed on Thursday. Hands off, Paris! He’s ours and there’s just nothing you can do about it.
Friday is happy hour with some friends (new ones included! Woohoo!).
So you can see, I don’t have much time for working out. I need to find a way to fit it in. Ideally, I could bake the cake or cupcakes and then work out while everything cools, but then I generally need to make icing as well (or, in the case of last night, syrup, filling AND icing that wasn’t really icing but ganache but the recipe called it icing so I went with it much to my dismay)…so that doesn’t often happen.
Gah! How do you juggle a fulltime job that makes you want to hang yourself, a part time hobby that you wish would someday become your fulltime job but requires many hours of practice, a respectable social calendar AND workout time???? It’s just not happening. I don’t even watch TV! Ugh.
Don’t hate me because I’m chubby. Love me because I’ll bribe you with baked goods.

I tried to leave a comment on the sassysweetshop but it booted me out. Anyway, OMG so amazing! Can you teach me how to get the buttercream icing smooth like that???? I seriously can’t do it to save my life!!
Yayy for yummy baked goods!! I love you just the way you are!!!!
Eh, don’t beat yourself up about it. i’ve been working out hardcore for about a month and I’m still just as fat as when I started. At least you’re eating cupcakes and cheese. But, not together, right? Unless it’s cream cheese. Then that’s okay, if it’s in icing form and…ok, I’ll shut up now.
Aw, I’m still fat, too. In fact, I woke up this morning, saw Mardi Gras on the news, & said “Every Tuesday is Fat Tuesday for me, but today, it’s official.”
Yay.
I’m crazy jealous of your baking skills! I wouldn’t even have the guts to try to make some of the stuff you do.
You can do C25K! It’s only 25 minutes, three times per week. Sometimes, the only exercise I get is Friday through Sunday, because I hear you about being done after work!
And also, call me crazy, but there’s not ACTUALLY any ninjas in the picture… Are there? This is such a stupid question. :S
