2 posts in one day, this is really going well! Just wanted to post an update after the cake decorating session. Kathy couldn't make it so Mary and I pressed on. Mary came up with the brilliant idea of using STYROFOAM cake forms rather than baking actual cakes, saving us lots of time and countless calories. And those cakes were just as light as air! We have resolved to meet monthly and decorate a cake appropriate to the month. Next month, Valentine's Day! Since the styrofoam saved me from total diet devastation, I have at least ruled out the option of postponing the entire fitness program until after I can get the books and will try to improvise some sort of regime until I get written guidance.

Here are some pics of "Cake Day".
