May. 27th, 2006 01:34 pmSaturday will be spending time with the Boo and Boogie after Boo gets off work.
Grocery shopping and stuff like that.
I get to give the Boo her birthday presents. I just finished making cupcakes for her. She's gonna be my test subject. on
_weightwatchers people have talked about low point cake using a cake mix and a can of diet soda. That way the points is just that of the cake mix.
Well I had a lemon cake mix for a total of 4 points for the mix and waist watchers diet citrus frost soda (think fresca or squirt). Ended up with a yeild of 24 cupcakes for .1666666 points each. So I can have 6.25 cupcakes for 1 point as opposed to the ww lemon cakes that are 1 point a piece that are the size of 2/3 a twinkie with no cream filling. I don't have a frosting for them but hell, at that amount of points, I can get real frosting and not be overly worried.
We will see how these taste and experiment. The people who posted the recipe suggested diet colas in chocolate, or a cherry or orange in chocolate, lemon limes in yellow and white cakes. We will have to try various kinds and flavors. and gee cake mixes are sooooo damn expensive. *wipes away dripping sarcasm*
I'm also seriously thinking for ww going to the core program for a week or two and see how that is. Fruits are free. Well trimmed steak is free. Fish is free. Poultry is free.
My only concern is that it's "eat until satisfied" not "all you can eat". that could be a down fall for me. We'll see. All depends on what I see at the grocery store today when we go shopping.
Any way, off to see the girls.
Until later
