Reiko has pneumonia again in his right lung, he doesn't have to be admitted to the hospital, but is being put on antibiotics, I am just praying it doesn't get worse...and the other silly reason, the cake that was supposed to be made for Reiko's birthday, which was a special snowflake themed birthday cake, is not being made because the lady who makes it, her whole family came down with the flu..and I totally understand that I do..I was just really really looking forward to seeing this beautiful cake at his birthday party that represents how far he has come this year and how special of a snowflake he is....But I called Culberts Bakery and they are going to make a chocolate cake slab that feeds 45 people for 29$ so thats not to bad...I just hope this birthday party will be special for him, even though he is sick...but he is one so I shouldn't take it to hard anyways, he will never remember this.
I have lost 7lbs now! I am down to 175lbs! So since December I have lost 10lbs, but now that I am really working on it, it seems to be melting off..the working out is definitely helping! This week alone I have already walk/ran/biked 74.5km! My stomach is definitely smaller and the baby pouch is shrinking away which is my most self-conscious spot on me. I had the walk with the ladies last night and it was a good night, we are starting to run more each time which has been great...before we know it we will be running the whole 5km's!
The one thing I was grateful for this morning was that the hospital was super quick for us, we were in and out in an hour! they are so great with him. So I figured out the perfect chocolate fix for me, and its only 150calories, and 6.8g fat
- 20 g chocolate(about 3 cubes of cadbury milk chocolate)
1 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 egg white
5g of sugar
20 ml cold water
a little margerine to grease the ramekin, sugar to coat ramekin completely
you will need an electric mixer, and a ramekin/oven proof mug.
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 175 C. Grease ramekin with margerine, add sugar to coat it completely. Place this ramekin the freezer. Take it out after your ready to use it.
2.Set up a double boiler. Melt chocolate cubes. Take of the heat, add water and cocoa, mix until completely combined.
3.Set aside chocolate mixture. Beat egg white until bubbly. Add sugar, and beat until soft glossy peaks form. You can add a pinch of cream of tartar to help the peaks form.
4.Fold quarter of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Add the remaining egg whites. Be gentle!
5. Fold until only a few streaks of white are left.
6.Level off your ramekin with a spatula.
7.Put in a small tin with hot water in it and put into the oven.
8.Bake for 16 minutes.
I have to go Reiko woke up and is incredibly grumpy..
