Eetsmakelijk

Does going on vacation motivates you ladies to go on a diet? You know, when last year’s bikinis do not fit you anymore but you also do not want to buy new pairs, so  instead you vow to lose the extra kilos you gained from ‘letting go’, from enjoying your food way too much?

Well I tell you, our upcoming beach vacation is making me work hard to get rid of these unwanted fat all around my body by exercising almost everyday. Pairing it with eating smartly. In the past, skipping breakfast was my way of beginning my days especially when I was trying to diet but now, I eat breakfast in the morning and that proves way better than not eating at all. I hardly feel any hunger by lunchtime and by dinner time, I can honestly say that I can now control what I put into my mouth. I sometimes do not feel the need to eat dinner when I had breakfast. Or when I’m only having bars, chocolate bars even, by  healthsmart foods ( <<- just click this link).

Imagine many years ago when people talk about diet, chocolates or delicious treats were definitely a no-no but these days, hah! have them please! Thanks to those food companies that come up with food and food supplements specially made for people like me, people who want to lose weight but still want to enjoy eating!

So yes, I am excited to fit into my old swimsuits. And I’m almost there!

I wanted something else than just an ordinary sponge cake (which is my favorite) for my birthday ( 5 days ago) so I searched the internet  for ideas since baking is my waterloo. Initially I found an interesting one but it involved rolling of fondant and expertise handling it. I have never worked with fondant before and they are quite expensive here (and to be experimented on)  thus I searched again until I found some cute looking cake pops that looked pretty easy to make. It was my first time to make them and I don’t think it will be the last because you know why? The adults (my friends) enjoyed them so much, imagine how the children would react when you give them these?
