    Well this will be a test!!

    I promised my daughter we would make cupcakes today
    Will be hard not to taste the batter, or lick the spatula when frosing them, but I will be STRONG!!!! Chugging water right now, I'll probably make her wait til just after lunch too so I'll be nice & satisfied before we even start.

    No problem, Jenny! I make brownies alllll the time.

    1) NEVER put your fingers near your mouth. It is soooo easy to lick off what gets on the finger, and that's a habit!

    2) Let the 'cook' lick the spatula. That would be your daughter. Since it is a prominent position most moms enjoy, think of the pride your daughter will have because this rite of passage is passed on to her!

    3) Woot on you for knowing to work only after you eat! Low blood sugar is the worst and the next thing you know you're cuddling with Duncan Heinz and his frosting mix under the counter.

    4) Shake up the routine a little. Today while you make those cupcakes maybe you'll be wearing your workout gear! Better yet, maybe you'll have just finished exercising! Feel great? YEAH! Why ruin that?

    You'll make it girl! You're accountable, and losing this weight by New Year's is more important than a single taste of something that's processed with chemicals to fool the brain into THINKING it tastes good.

    You go, hot mama!

        I just want to add my words of encouragement. You CAN do it! I've been on Atkins for 2 years and it's become a matter of pride that I can bake cookies or cakes with my daughters and NEVER even lick my finger. Just make up your mind you're not going to cheat this way. It sounds like you've already got that plan in place and I'll bet you do great!

          The best part of it is spending time with your daughter..... WAY better that any old cupcake could ever be!

            Went well, although it is tough to fight that urge to lick your fingers!!!
            Of course I went on to make mashed potates for her & her dad for dinner & I ended up having to fight that licking urge yet once again. But I made it thru (constantly washing my fingers off in the sink) Goimg to make myself some pork loin & broccoli here in a minute, I had a salad earlier after the cupcakes.
            Its funny, I am not much for cookies/cupcakes, but batter & frosting are my weakness.
