Ok, so today's food diary is going to be a little off. I made a cake to test out a new lower carb recipe but I messed up. I misread my conversion chart and read the TBS as tsp so I only put in 1/3 the Truvia that it was supposed to have instead of all of it. Therefore my cake isn't sweet enough, the cocoa makes it a bit too bitter. I went ahead and logged the half slice with the proper recipe amounts anyway though because I did eat the lower carb frosting that I made to go on it.
I think this will make an excellent birthday cake substitution for this weekend once I put the right amount of Truvia in it. It tasted pretty good except the low sweetness and was more moist than I expected without using flour. I'm going to try it out on the family this weekend so I can have a birthday cake without totally blowing my lower carb plan.
I did find a place that I can work out with a stationary bike here in town, that is the best news possible. It is less than a mile from the house and won't cost me anything. The doctor and the physical therapist said I could use the bike. Maybe when I lose some more and get some strength back in my leg I will be able to move up to the elliptical too. I'm looking forward to adding some cardio to my healthier eating lifestyle.
