Banana raisin muffins recipe



Oh my word! These are by far the best banana muffins I have ever eaten! This is a very moist and tasty recipe. The batter tastes good and they smell so irresistible! While cooling the muffins, I couldn’t wait any longer so I ate one warm, and another one! Ooppsss! I'm never gonna lose any weight at this rate, but it was sooo yummy! 

I feel guilty everytime I eat something fattening. The last time I remember going to the gym was last year, I want my old body back so bad! When I look back at old pictures, I get irritated with myself  for being so lazy to sweat out my toxins.  So last night I was thinking, instead of paying a hundred bucks for gym membership, I decided to sign up for an apartment membership... hahah! (which I was supposed to do last August 2011). Apartment Membership will give all of the same benefits as well as full privilege to do what I want inside the apartment. We've got gym, swimming pool, volleyball court but I haven't used them once - since moving in. Apartment management said I can start using the gym next week! Yayyyy! Gotta lose weight before November!!
