Darn you Gooey Butter Cake!

My husband made this last night for a work bake sale (yes you read that right, my husband BAKES) and it is "the debil" sooooo good but oh so bad. Box of cake mix, 3 eggs, 2 sticks of butter, a pound of confectioners sugar and a package of cream cheese! Surely no one can guess who this lovely confection is made by :-p

So I absolutely had to have a piece last night. But can we just take a minute and notice that the recipe says it yields 6 to 8 servings!? Michael cut it into 24 pieces and believe me, while I could have (gladly) eaten much more, who can afford the calories in 1/6th of that thing- wow, not me!

I was down 1.5 lbs today so that brings my total around 12. 6 more lbs and I'll have lost 10% of my total body weight! I should try to make it a mini goal to get there by Aug 7th. That would be an avg of 1.5 lbs/ week, hopefully that won't be too hard. I'll just have one tough weekend to get through- a wedding and my G'ma's birthday.

Hope everyone has a healthy and safe weekend!

  1. Ooh, that sounds delicious! Don't you just love Paula Deen's obsession with butter?

    Congrats on the loss so far! WW is awesome!
