Baking is my Therapy

There was nothing like heading to Bulk Barn after a stressful day to buy a bagful of candy. It was my quick fix.  It helped calm my nerves. It put a smile on my face.

Since the start of my year long candy fast, I’ve had to find an alternative.  I found it. When I’m stressed, I turn off my phone, put on some old clothes, blast my music and head to the kitchen to bake. There’s nothing like it.

I know that baking won’t solve my problems but just for a few hours I can forget about them and spend time doing what I love the most.

During these times, I end up baking too much that I have to give half of my baked goods away  - unless it’s my Lemon Poppy Seed cake. That’s too good to share!

If you ever call and I don’t return it, no need to worry. I’m probably in the kitchen, singing my heart out and baking.

What’s your stress reliever?

My Happiness Project - Health & Fitness

Last month I started My Happiness Project journey. My January resolution was Spirituality: to spend more time with God through prayer, daily Bible reading and scripture memorization. I started off strong and started falling off mid month. It’s a new month and I’m ready to try again.

This month’s focus is on Health & Fitness: to maintain a healthy weight and diet by exercising and eating right. Last week I started my P90X workout. I’m also going to be doing the 30 day Squat Challenge. Time to get this body Summer ready!

I'm finally going to put my sewing machine to work this month by signing up for sewing classes. It's time to start making my own clothes since stores don't make clothes to fit the shape of a Black Woman. This is the perfect skill to learn just in time for Summer.

Guess what? I survived 34 days without candy! This candy fast hasn’t been as bad as I thought it would be. Read My Candy Addiction for the full story.

What goals/resolutions have you made for this month?
