“Today was a hard day, my love. I sat by the window, breathing in the scent of the afternoon rain. My cup was half-filled with tea that had gone cold. I got so involved in that book about Picasso, marking lines that spoke to me, hoping I’d remember to tell you about them later. I finished the book today, my love. I was tired after reading it… maybe more sated than tired, like a passionate afternoon romp, unplanned but unhurried, rough enough that we’d knock some books off the side table, but tender enough that the lamp wobbles back in place. Today was a hard day, my love. I tried to write away the gnawing in my chest, but missing you is crippling. The more I filled my journal, the more I knew I was not capturing the ache and the lull and the piercing, painful feeling of missing. How I wish I were a pianist. Perhaps if my fingers grazed the keys, a melody would follow. I would start with notes that captured the longing of a distant heart, the yearning of a touch requited but much too far away. Then the music picks up, turning into a breezy summer tune as the reminiscing takes on the shape of sunlit walks and kisses beneath shades of dripping ferns and trees. Today was a hard day, my love. I sat by the window, wanting to curl up against you, wanting to show you the lines I highlighted in the book, wanting to ask if you’d like a cup of tea as I go refill my own, then snuggle back against you as we stay quiet together, listening to the rain fall just as gently. There are days when missing you consumes my thoughts and paws at my chest, the gap between us needing to be fed. There are days when I can fill this need with poetry and prose of dreams we shared and dreams to come, when I can flip back through the pictures of a time that was just ours. But today was a hard day, my love. And this was all I could write to ease the daunting pain.”

20 Calorie ‘Nutella’

I’m pretty late to the whole xanthan gum bandwagon because I thought I didn’t have any, but I found a package today and I’ve been experimenting so I thought I’d share some of the seriously awesome stuff I came up with. You could make this recipe with Nutella or peanut butter (I’ve tried both) and it’s so, so good and way less calories!

Ingredients (makes about 6 tbsp):

  • 0.25 cup water (0 kcal)
  • 0.25 cup Splenda (0 kcal)*
  • 1 tbsp Nutella (100 kcal)
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum (10 kcal)
  • OPTIONAL: 0.5 tbsp cocoa powder (10 kcal) - this adds some colour (and chocolatiness!) and makes the result a darker brown

*I know this sounds like a lot of sweetener, but Nutella is really sweet and I wanted it to taste as close as possible to the original. You could start with less, then taste and add more :)

How to:

Dump all your ingredients in a blender and blend until it reaches a really thick consistency (it shouldn’t take more than a few seconds, the blades of your blender will start sticking to the spread).

I’m using a mini coffee grinder here (I know, I know!) because it’s easier for small batches.

And voila the finished product! I added half the cocoa as I listed in the recipe (so a quarter tbsp), but if I were to make it again I’d add half a tablespoon to get a richer, brown colour. This stuff is seriously amazing and only 20 calories per tablespoon (18 if you don’t use cocoa)!

How I lost 20 pounds in about a month

Hey guys ❤️. I just started to lose weight, and I regret not starting sooner. But along with daily exercise and this drink I make I have lost over 20 pounds in around a month. This is my second month of my weight loss, but let me tell you what the drink is. You’ve probably heard of it.

🍵What’s in it: 。A cup of hot water 。Green Tea 。Half of a squeezed lemon 🍋 。And some Apple Cider Vinegar (You can put how much you want… but I usually put around 4 cap fulls)

You can also add some honey if it’s to bitter tasting for you.

I drink this every morning when I wake up and usually a hour before I go to bed. This drink works you guys. If you want to lose weight try this.

Might try this one day

Guys. This drink is a life changer. I binged three times this week and i pretty much have a crippling fear of purging, so after each of those binges i made this drink and the mornings after i didnt gain any weight!!! Also, it doesnt taste as bad as it smells!!!
