Can YOU Tell Me WHERE I Need The Most Work? LOL

Below is a pic of me in my red dress that I would like to fit into. The size is 14 Petite. (Now, I know I was never "petite" but I was 16 when I bought it, lol.)

Although the tummy part is grotesque, I have a waist! LOL

I'll try it on again when I get down another 20lbs :)

Gluten Free Banana Muffins!

Today our parents came down for the day! We went to St. Jacob's Market and then off to lunch at Country Boy. Mom, Dad and I all ate the chicken souvlaki with rice, veggies and a greek salad. Soooo yummy! Oh, and mom brought down my "When I'm Skinny" bin and I am proud to say I have a bunch of new-old pants and capris to wear this summer! I haven't tried on any of the tops but I saw my beautiful red dress and it looks a lot smaller than I remember, lol.

I also wanted to make something we could all eat as a snack so I decided to try these gluten-free banana muffins from Spark People.com. They turned out fan-tabulous! They did not taste restrictive at all. I used Splenda instead of sugar but you can make it either way. I'm sure you could even use white or whole wheat flour instead of rice flour. Here is the recipe!

Gluten Free Banana Muffins

1 Egg

1/4 milk (or any other liquid)

2 tbsp of sugar (or Splenda)

2 tbsp of canola oil

1 cup of white rice flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1-2 overripe bananas

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Put in muffin liners or lightly grease a 12 cup muffin pan.

Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Fill muffin liners.

Bake for 15-17 minutes.

Allow muffins to cool 5 minutes before removing them.

The recipe said it made 12 muffins but I only got 6. I guess my muffin tins were bigger?

Try it! Let me know how you like them!

When I Get Skinny Bin

A few years back, while my sister was helping me go through my closet, we came to a few items I had "grew out of". I couldn't bear to throw them in the Salvation Army bin, so instead, we put them in a big Rubbermaid bin and called it my "When I Get Skinny Bin". I know it is still at my parent's place and I can't remember exactly what's in it but I know that there is an old swin suit, a few nice tops, a pair of capris and my red dress. I wore this red dress in 2003 to Semi Formal. I loved this dress so much, therefore I am setting myself a new goal. I will wear this dress to my cousin's wedding in October.

Yes, I am well-aware I have two sets of hands, lol.

Could only cut out the ex so much! Haha!
