I've been walking a lot and watching what I eat for some time now.I'm trying to get my weight down,and keep my sugar level down as well.So far I've lost over 30 pounds..Walking almost a mile and a half a day isn't easy for someone who is 78 years old and has had a hip replaced,but i'm determined to do it..That's the physical part of this endeavor..The other part is mental. I've had to quit eating a lot of things that I really like..I've made no secret to anyone that at the top of this list is Carrot Cake..Today my neighbor brought me a piece of ..you guessed it..Carrot Cake..She said I know it's your favorite enjoy it..Of course I did eat it..First time in over a year..I feel a bit guilty about it but it sure was good.

Sometimes you gotta let go and enjoy yourself. One piece of cake isn't going to kill you.

Sometimes you gotta let go and enjoy yourself. One piece of cake isn't going to kill you. True. An occasional diversion is not bad. A constant indulgence in sugar is not good be it in sweets or alcohol that does the same is bad. “As you move along in life’s journey using restraint will enrich your life without overly indulging is not bad” ~Trailboss Just one man’s opinion. |

Ive had carrot cake on my mind for a week now. I dont know anyone who makes a good one. I doubt if they are still in business but the Shabazz Bakery in Oakland California made a killer Carrot Cake. No white flour, whole wheat only no white sugar, turbinado no egg whites. no white baking powder or baking soda. I do not know how they leaved the cake but ti was light and fluffy. |

I love carrot cake. In fact, almost all cakes and I get along well, but carrot cake is primo.

"Everything in moderation. Nothing in excess," Socrates. "Excess, on occasion, can be exhilarating....it prevents moderation from becoming a habit". I read this quote, many years ago...but can't remember the author. I think it might have been Somerset Maugham. (I suppose someone with "Somerset" for a first name....better be clever and witty). Now I know the original source, and response. |

But it's made with carrots...that's one of your 5-a-day. Something made with carrots can't be bad for you.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Carrot cake should have walnuts. Never rasins,except on special occasions. But always always cream cheese icing!🤗😘
