Hope your gym experience was a good one Steph

I've had a lovely day with Lee and Joel, just sitting around chatting and catching up with each other's lives

Let's just say I now realise just how unfit I am!! And because I don't cycle enough already I have signed up for the spinning class at 9.30 tomorrow morning. An hour of intensive indoor cycling..... we'll see just how enthusiastic I am after that!!

You'll do fine. As long as you take it easy with the resistance setting, you'll have no problem. Congrats on your new "fit life". Well done.

*hugs WooHoos for being special and getting fit and eating cake*
I woodn't do it all at once.
Wood be fun to get fit and eat cake at the same time though...

And I read that original Stargate is actually getting that reboot?
Meh. I bet the writing and directing is going to suck.

[Nolamom]

mmm, cake. I just remembered to get the mixes to make 4 minute cake. Made one. Delicious.

Share please the recipe that is.

[josiane]

Up far too early this morning to head off to my nephew's christening

Share please the recipe that is.

Nola may have adapted it, but this is it as I gave it to her:

You need a very large mug or a small bowl that can go in the microwave.

4 tablespoons of self-raising flour
4 tablespoons of sugar
2 tablespoons of cocoa

Mix

Add one egg

Mix

3 tablespoons of oil (sunflower or vegetable)
3 tablespoons of milk

Mix it all together - it should be quite runny.

Put it in the microwave for 4 minutes, et voila, cake!

[Nolamom]

Easier - one box chocolate cake mix, one box angel food cake mix - mix together thoroughly (can be kept for months in the pantry)
Take 4 tablespoons of mix, 2 tablespoons oil, and 2 tablespoons water -mix in a large mug that has been sprayed with cooking spray
Bake in microwave about 2 1/2 minutes (check for doneness by touching lightly with a finger, it should spring back. Don't over bake.
I use a bit of chocolate syrup for "icing"


Angel food cake mix already contains egg whites powder.

I'm waiting for my banana cake to bake............

[IamDKScully]

Ohhh, sounds so yummyy! Must try today

Whoever said growing old gracefully was a joy was either 20 years old or a lunatic. I was in so much pain last night I didn't sleep more then 2 hours! And this is a new pain I've only been having the last few weeks. Before that it was only my knees. Now I wish it was only my knees! I can't leave the house because of this (except to go to the doctors who runs more tests and can tell me what it isn't! Who gives a damn.... I want to know what it is! Right now life isn't worth a plug nickel!

[josiane]

Oh Laurie Big hugs, I hope the doctor can find what it is and get you some relief ASAP.

[DutchIndeed]

*hugs Laurie*
I hope things will start looking up soon.

[IamDKScully]

Oh no...big squishy "gentle" hugs Laurie!

[Nolamom]

Oh Laurie - that's terrible! I have just an inkling of what you're going through. I've been to the doctor (AGAIN) for like the 6th time about 8 weeks, this time a kidney specialist. Seems I have Chronic Kidney Disease, stage III. Now, I can be at stage III for years, so I'm only somewhat concerned instead of overwhelmingly terrified. I really liked the doctor. She was very thorough, answered my questions and explained everything well. She changed one of my blood pressure meds (the pressure has been going up and dropping low wildly.) So, I go back in three weeks. I've been taking my pressure twice a day since March. It's become a routine. Some interesting readings - a high of 222/121 to a low of 70/48 - crazy.
