i lost some weight?!...

Today's weigh in. So weird, I've been doing terrible these last couple of weeks. Anyway, I got on the scale this morning and it read 103. So I guess I'm 103... a 3-pound weigh lost from last week? Strange... but I guess I'll take it. I'm almost back to my pre-baby weight, just not my pre-baby figure yet. Ugh... I really need to get going on that weight training thing. I need to get my old figure back at least.. or look even better than before the baby!

Anyway, a friend of Mum's brought over a bunch of bananas the other day. Since the bananas were starting to brown, actually, some of them were already super brown, I decided to make use of it. Yesterday I came home to a house smelling delicious... Mum had made some banana bread. Alright, anyway... so yes, to use up some of the browning bananas, I made some chocolate banana cupcakes. Boy, I didn't realize the recipe was going to make so many cupcakes. I swear, I think it was at least 36 or 40 cupcakes in all! Anyway, I haven't frosted them all just yet. I want to try this new frosting recipe I found on this one site, so hopefully it'll turn out. Mark's a tough critic... he likes his icing a particular way. He hates meringue buttercream (which I absolutely love!) So I have yet to please him.

Alright, here's what I've eaten/plan to eat for today:

BREAKFAST:
- last night's dinner: spaghetti w/ turkey meat sauce (300 cal)

LUNCH:
- chinese chicken chow mein (800 cal)

DINNER:
- tilapia fish w/ less refined white rice + steamed veggies (300 cal)
- chocolate banana cupcake w/ icing (400 cal)

TOTAL CALORIES: 1800
