Chocolate cupcakes and skipping a workout

I skipped day 4 of 30 Day Shred. I think that means I should walk to pick up Jonthomas today, right? Maybe the walk will tire out the kids enough so that they go to bed without a fight tonight?!

So, while I was skipping my workout yesterday, I tried baking my second round of chocolate cupcakes. I was really excited that these ones looked as though they turned out! However, they didn't taste very good. Did you have to make chocolate cake (wacky cake) in Home Ec class? That's what they tasted like. Ugh. Gross.

This one actually looks good!

This is what happens when you forget to add sugar.

Have a look at my unsuccessful chocolate cupcakes.








 When I finally get one of my recipes to turn out, I'll post it here.

My legs are killing me!

I started Jillian Micheal's "30 Day Shred" a couple days ago. This is the second time I've started it. I can only imagine what pain my body will feel tomorrow. I can barely walk down the basement stairs without whining. It's all for good, though, right? So, here's my Monday weigh-in. Ready? 208.8!!!

Who wants to talk about baking? Ugh. Not me. Total failure this weekend. Twice. I'm trying to figure out how to make apple cupcakes. I tried two recipes. One was really bad the other not quite so bad. Recipe 1 turned out like cookie dough. I mean it was that stiff. I have no idea how a cupcake would have come out of that, so I doctored the recipe just a bit so that it was more cake-like. It didn't taste bad, just sunk. Recipe 2 sunk also, but definitely not as bad as recipe 1. Back to the drawing board on the apple cupcake.

Is it funny that my blog address is I Fat 1st - If At 1st ?
