Super Bowl Belly Ache...

Oh dear friends... what a day..
I've been weightwatcher-ing for a few weeks. My head has been in the game, I've been motivated and I've been doing so well... and then.. the superbowl happened..

We met with some family for the game.. I decided I would take healthy food options so I would have choices and would at least eat my own food if there were no other good choices..so, I took a fruit tray, veggie tray (all homemade and home chopped, don't buy premade produce trays.. they're a rip off!) and I made the most delicious weight watcher cupcakes of all time.. recipe below.

and then..

we got there... there were hot wings, bbq baby back ribs, dips of all kinds, chips of all kinds, mini cheesecakes, no bake cookies and much much more..

and

I ate like it was my last supper.. like a little oinker... like a starvin' marvin'... like weight watchers was the farthest thing from my mind...

and now I'm remorseful, and my belly hurts,  knowing that it's all over and I certainly went above and beyond my daily points and flex points.. and I'll start again tomorrow, because that's all you can do when you gain 47 pounds in one night ;)

Here's how I made the weight watcher cupcakes... Keep in mind, I'm a professional cupcake baker, and I do it for a living.. so the recipe may be much to complicated to follow... HA! You know what? I used a box mix.. yes I did.. I used a box mix and I was proud of it.. It's easier to figure the nutrition facts because they are right there on the side.. so I did it! I don't care either.. it was for a family gathering and I used a box for the first time in ages.. who cares! not me.

Duncan Hines- oh wait, a note on this-> just do me a favor and don't ever, EVER buy any cake mix other than Duncan Hines.. they have the best cake mixes on the planet and you won't ever be disappointed by them. amen.

Kara's Weight Watchers (Points Plus) Chocolate Cupcakes to die for !
Makes 19 cupcakes
ONLY 3 POINTS PLUS EACH!

1 Duncan Hines Devil's food- Chocolate cake mix
2 egg whites- beaten to medium peaks
1- 12oz can of diet soda (diet coke, coke zero, etc.) I used Caffeine Free Diet Coke, because I don't do caffeine unless it's found naturally in a substance (chocolate- and that's it).
1- tub of Cool Whip FREE- make sure and get the free (fat free) kind, it makes for a 0 point icing!! If you get lite or regular, you'll have to reconfigure the points.

Beat the egg whites- to medium peaks. Mix cake mix and soda together until well combined. Fold in the egg whites (stir as little as possible to combine- the egg whites are what make your cake so fluffy!)
VERY IMPORTANT- You must make 19 cupcakes out of this batter. Any more or less will effect the points and you'll be on your own to figure them out.
Bake on 340, for about 14 minutes.



Once cooled- pipe (or just use a good ole' butter knife- I mean, we used a box mix so we don't have to be super fancy) about 2 tbsp of cool whip free onto the top of each cupcake.

Keep in the fridge.

Enjoy your cupcakes, only 3 points each!!! hoorray!
