Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

I began a weight lost competition on the 16 Aug 2013 and it ended on 6 Dec 2013. I told myself I would save every packet through this competiton to see how much in the end. In the end there was a total of 296 packets and I lost a total of 25.5 lbs and won the competition with my partner. We were in teams of two so it was the combined weight that made us the winners. I felt I was being robbed by my love of cake baking and decorating. I was always too busy for me. Then June said a few words of advice and I realized it was time to take time for me. I feel great.. I am so much happier. I get up each morning early to go and workout Mon to Fri. I get it out of the way and I don't have to think about it until the next day. I don't do as much cakes as I did before as well. My memory has improved, I don't get tired like I use to. There are so many amazing benefits from taking your health serious and getting active.

Thanks Faith.  Yes indeed, I am so glad that I have made some changes.  My family and I attended church last week which was a welcome change & blessing.

 

It's priceless spending time with the family.

Congrats Christina! You did great and I'm so glad that you are taking more time for yourself!  Sometimes you have to put yourself and your family first (and the Lord too of course ;)) and then after if you have the time and ability do the cakes. Having my little girl helped me understand that so much better :D. God bless and talk soon!
