Banana-Date Tea Cake tastes much better now. Well, this is a typical pound cake and just takes time to get ready to be eaten. So, I decided to upload my “sunken” tea cake to remind myself a failure. I have to remember that I should use all-purpose flour instead of cake flour to make the texture firmer.
Week 38 Feedback:
I haven’t lost any weight yet: I have actually gained two pounds since Christmas. My total weight loss is 43 lb. (I’m saying to remind myself) I know why. Why? Because I have been consuming more calories a day. It’s ironic that eating pizza with salad helps me lose weight quicker than eating homemade meals. When I cook something at home, there should be leftovers. I keep them for a couple of days in the fridge, but I usually don’t want to keep longer than that (even if it’s still O.K. to eat.., according to A.A.). What happens is that I take bites from there though they are not suitable for my diet so that I don’t want to throw away. Every time I open the freezer, I see corn bread, roasted chickens, hams, beef, and etc. (I used to have my pastries, too)
