A little sugar will give you the energy to get through the day and also take a little walk or gentle exercise!!!<br /><br />OK - so I don't know the meaning of gentle, I sail, surf and run daily lol!! However, one thing I do know is that you don't cut anything out of your diet, just take it easy and spread the wealth or so to speak!! <br /><br />I really hate the diets that say you have to cut out any food group!! Just be cautious in what you eat - ensure a balanced diet and exercise daily (gently if you're not used to it) !!! <br /><br />All it takes is a 20 minute walk / jog with the dog. parrot, gerbil or husband lol!! Or maybe join in a belly dancing class - You'll both get the benefit of that one and believe me it's worth it !!! <br /><br /><br />***** See note at the end of post!!<br /> <br />Just keep on eating and moving (carefully). You can make your body burn with whatever exercise or fun times that you can accomplish and it will only give back (to you) untold benefits !!! :D<br /><br /><br /><br />***** Notice when I was talking earlier about exercise - I never mentioned the pet cat!!!! <br /><br /><br />That's because cats in general are far more intelligent than the average human and just do whatever they have to do to survive .... whilst laughing at said humans and professed owners / friends of the relevant aforementioned felines :P<br /><br /><br />It is rare that the aforementioned feline species will intercede in the fate of any human .... but it still happens, rarely - but still there's hope ...............Melanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-16447181977087790992014-10-25T16:39:07.830-07:002014-10-25T16:39:07.830-07:00Lol!!!

Was that totally mean of me to mention I was eating that?? ;) I do have a terrible soft spot for potato chips, especially sour cream and onion, and for Ben & Jerry's. So I'm not feeling too guilty here. <br /><br /><br />I made this stuff this week for my son's cub scout group, but it wasn't ready on time and so we've been trying to eat it up all week and I need it gone by the end of Sunday because then I'm starting a no sugar at all during the week except twice on the weekends thing and eating better and exercising and all that... :)Tressahttp://www.wishfulendings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-8422827648099288382014-10-25T15:43:20.393-07:002014-10-25T15:43:20.393-07:00You can put the shut right up to the up - just now...You can put the shut right up to the up - just now!!! <br /><br /><br />I'm dying for a bit of cake or something ... unfortunately it's just gonna be me, the vodka, the chips (sour cream and onion lays) and then the Ben and Jerry's later lol!!! :D<br /><br /><br />What can I say - except really it's a night made in heaven lol!! :P Well except for the cake ..... :(Melanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-9142468287743461752014-10-25T15:39:25.406-07:002014-10-25T15:39:25.406-07:00Glad you liked my choices.

The first one and third book (Mortal Heart) had sexual content. The second book was the least clean of them all. So they may not be for you.<br /><br /><br />I LOVED Dear Mr. Knightley. Loved Lizzy & Jane too by Katherine and love her! :) Haven't read The Pursuit... yet or Love's Fortune. I've read the others and loved them too, especially It Had to Be You. That was almost my pick instead of Meant to Be Mine.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Heidi!Tressahttp://www.wishfulendings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-11628152286519897762014-10-25T11:37:05.636-07:002014-10-25T11:37:05.636-07:00Brilliant choice .... ;) There is nothing there t...Brilliant choice .... ;) There is nothing there that I wouldn't be happy to pick up and read !!! :D<br /><br /><br />Thanks for entering the cake challenge and for sharing with us ....

I agree with Edenbrooke and Blackmoore- I've lost count as to how many times I've re-read those books! My flour would be Dear Mr. Knightley by Katherine Reay, margarine was The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn by Lori Benton, eggs- Love's Fortune by Laura Frantz (didn't think it would be bad, but the previous book in the series was 3 stars for me), sugar- All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes by Betsy St. Amant, Icing- Tried and True by Mary Connealy, the cherry...
