Thread: The Spoon and Me -- Bronski's Diary

oooo what business you after running,,, details lol

hi I've been trying to lose almost the same amount of weight you want to lose, oh well hope you will have better luck than me x.

Kazzy: It's not so much a business, per se, it's enhancing my freelance status. I need the start up grant to make things like websites, business cards and leaflets to advertise my illustrations and animations. Then I need an adviser, because I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing!!

Georgiestar: Wotcha! We do have pretty similar amounts, yeah! You've done ace so far, go you We'll both reach our goals, bud, don't put yourself down. We should push each other on or something, a shove in the small of the back has always helped me in the past

Bron

Sounds really good bron, good luck i hope you get it

Me too, bud! I'm going to take in my first book and print off pictures of the toy I designed. That should be pretty good looking.

Morning!

Yesterday ended well, and today has started equally brilliantly!

My biggest challenge today is making my step mum's birthday brownie. I love to bake, and I love to lick spoons. And I love to try that first bit of chocolate brownie as it leaves the oven... But I'm going to sit on my hands, and-

Hang on, can't make brownie then...

-going to duct tape my mouth and with any luck no brownie will pass my lips. No buttercream will get in there either... So long as I make sure someone saves me some for Friday, it should be fine.

The other big challenge is actually fitting some work in today. At least my client's been a bit slow recently, so there's not so much pressure on me.

Better get ready to head out. Stay cool, gang!

Well, the brownie's in. I'll be honest, I had one lick of the spatula, more to curiously test the mixture as I subbed tofu for eggs. Needed to check it tasted passable still. And - happy days - it does!

Once it's done, I'm going to have a small try, because again, it's a modified recipe. If it tastes rubbish, then I'm going to have to run out and buy a sponge instead!

I'm having lunch early too, that way with any luck I'll get some work done today too.

Bron

mmmm brownies....

Best ever brownie recipe, m'friend! Now veganised (more because I had tofu in and was too cheap to buy in eggs!) It never fails to impress!

Bron

OK, I sucumed to the brownie... had a rather larger bite than had planned, and did kinda scoop my finger round the edge. But I didn't lick the buttercream spoons... just my fingers when it ended up on them

Still, staying strong for later; going to not have any until friday after weigh in. Overall, I think I handled this baking brownie thing a lot better than when I've cooked them previously, which I'm relatively happy about!

Getting Chinese later for step mum's birthday, will only serve half and have tomorrow's dinner out of it too. Am about to go running with the club so that should help cover a lot of today's boo-boos.

Peace out!

Bron

yeah a good run should help burn of the brownie but ahhh well be hard to bake something and not lick the spoon or test it

Nomnom brownie. Yuuuuuuuum!

Kazzy: Oh believe me, that run will certainly have burnt off that brownie bite!! Hehe! You're right though, has to be tested before serving to the family!

Ellie: Totally Not just any brownie, a brownie with 300g worth of chocolate with chocolate fudge on top! And buttercream blobs!

----------------

In hindsite, I should have taken a picture of the brownie masterpiece. I'd shaped it into a paint palette (my stepmum's an artist) but everyone's had a piece already. Everyone, except moi! I'm not going to be too high and mighty about it, it's not like I didn't have any at all!

Went out with running club for the first time in a long time. We did 8 miles and man, it nearly killed me! I'm not a summer runner, I get bad hayfever on my chest. That coupled with my dropped fitness levels after going away meant it wasn't one of my better ones, but I finished it! Woo...

Brownie aside, today has been great! Had usual start to the day, plus a snack before running. Had couscous, veg and tomato sauce, pickled onions and veggie fish cakes, and raisens after.

Had some real drama earlier, our pet lizard was really poorly Had to be rushed to vet, who just said he was a very, very sick dragon. He's home now, and here's hoping he gets better. So 'cos we had to pay for the consultation, we didn't get Chinese in the end. Waistline is grateful.

Anywho, time for bed. Night night, all!

Bron

i hope the lizard is better soon nothing worse than a poorly pet,, hope you have a good day today keep it up your doing good

Awww I hope Mr Dragon is feeling better today!
Well done on only having one bite of the brownie, bron and super well done on running 8 miles!!!
