Huckablubber Update: week 3 of 6
June 24th, 2008
How’s it going my chubby pals? Is everyone staying on track? Yeah…me either. Today I ate out three times. But on the plus side, I only ate three times. That is good right? No snacking? Anyway, my exercise has been consisting of a lot of swimming, walking, and um, pilates. Has anyone started to notice a difference? I have in one pair of jeans and maybe a couple of bras, but that is all. It did not help when ShoeShe brought cookie/brownie/muffin thingies with her. She looks fab by the way. She has been much better than me obviously. She even ordered a garden egg globy wrap for breakfast. I tried to toss candy in her mouth while she slept, but it did not work.
We have a prize nailed down! First prize is a Microsoft Zune MP3 player. It is to be used for inspiration while working out only. If I find out the winner is just ENJOYING it, than I take it back. Second prize is a Subway gift card of not yet determined denomination. So, get cracking!
This is your last chance to join us, so if you do not either email me or say so in the comments, you will not be eligible. Of course if you have agreed already, than you are fine.
Keep up the good work!
So you may know already, but Chocolate in all forms is my weakness. Here is a recipe for some Low-fat, low-cal brownies. The Son and I are going to try to make these this week, we will let you know how they turn out.
1/2 C flour
1/3 C cocoa
1/4 tap. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
4 oz jar of baby food prunes
2/3 C sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs or equivalent of non-fat egg substitute
Makes 12 Brownies
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8 inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
Mix flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt together.
Beat remaining ingredients together, then blend in dry ingredients just until mixed. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges look dry and start to pull away from the pan.

Baby food prunes…sounds like instant laxative to me…no thank you!
A Zune? Wow! That puts my little 100 song mp3 player/phone to shame, for sure.
Which I used while working out tonight, by the way, and afterwards discovered that the hot tub and pool were chained off. Very disappointing. I’ll feel that workout tomorrow, I’m sure.
What’s the calorie count on one serving of those pruny brownies? If I get first place, can I take the Subway gift card instead? I already have a hot pink nano (8 GB) that I got for graduation, and a shuffle (only 1 GB) and Joe has an iPhone so we would have no need for a Zune. Who am I kidding? LOL, I haven’t weighed myself in about 3 weeks and I’ve only been working out about twice a week these days. I won’t win, but that’s okay. I am SUPER PROUD of ShoeShe!! She has WAY more willpower than I do.
I want in on this deal! I need details though…
I lost 8 pounds last week on my trip, but I was working in the hot sun constantly and eating some pretty sub par food. I am hoping to build off last week this week, but I had a hot dog yesterday, but no snacks and I did exercise.
Mama Mia, see at the top of this post where my chubby pals is underlined in blue? click on that, and that will tell you about the contest.

Welcome aboard! You can do it!
Did you got to LLL this month? I missed because I had SALMONELLA!
Wow CAT that is awesome! You did great…and for other people too.
I suppose it doesn’t matter that I have no idea what a Zune is since I’ll not be winning it. I haven’t exercised at all.
