All That is Kayla....And Then Some: Slowly but surely coming along, and some of my new creations

Its been awhile and things have been going pretty good for me. I have been working hard on the weight loss things and I am now down 25 pounds, which means I have 3 pounds from meeting my first mini goal I set for myself. I could not be more proud of myself and now to set my next mini goal. I would like to lose another 10 pounds in the next month, so hopefully by Easter I will be down another 10 pounds. Just hope my Easter dress fits, actually I would feel awesome if it was too big!!!! I have upped my workout routine, but not going as many days as I was. I am trying to burn anywhere between 1500-2000 calories per workout and I try to go at least 3 days a week. Since it has been so nice on the weekends I have been walking my entire neighborhood too, which is about 4 miles from start to finish and when you are pulling a 50lb dog, that is quite a workout. I have not felt this good about myself physically in a long time and I am only feeling better as the days go by. I have decided not to take any pictures of myself until I can tell a difference. There have been several people who have told me that they can already tell a difference, but I do not see it yet. I guess it will have to be pretty significant for me to see, but some of my clothes are already fitting better!

For the past couple of years I have found a hobby in making cakes. I started off on a whim when I bought a guitar cake pan and decided to see how good I was at decorating it. People have always told me that my desserts were good taste wise, but I had never really decorated anything. After about two hours of working on this cake, I finally finished it and decided to give it to my father in law for his birthday. Everyone seemed to like it, so I decided to try a few more, and I seemed to get a little bit better and better. I did not take pictures of everything I have made, but I have some photos of a few. I want to take some classes to get better and learn how to do things like sugar flowers and all the decorations and add ons with fondant. Wade thinks I could really make something out of this, I have sold a few to some friends down here and made one for my brother and his sister-in-law and they all seemed to like what I have done. I have made everything from a standard white cake to a carrot cake and I can do just about any kind of home made icing, I am excited to say I can now also put photos on cakes or any other screen print. I have also done cheesecakes, pies and cobblers. It would be a dream of mine to open a bakery somewhere if I had the money to do so, of course I have also always wanted to open a wedding dress shop as well, guess its good to always have dreams!!!

Here are some of my cakes
