with a cherry on top

My treat obsession this summer has forced me back into exercising.  It's too hot outside to run or bike, though.  And I find the gym extremely boring.

Any workout video suggestions? 

Because the cupcakes are killing me.

This recipe was found on Tasty Kitchen...Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes!

I would have preferred to have made my own frosting, but I didn't have time so I used a tub of buttercream and flavored and colored it with the cherry juice and some pink food coloring.

If you like cherry and chocolate, it's a winner recipe!

Have you heard of P90X? I know a handful of people who are doing that. You can get the dvds cheaper on Craigslist. I plan on doing that after this baby (it's a more hard-core type of work out, really kicks your trash from what I've heard). It's something you could do at home anyway!

Love the frosting on your cupcake. It looks so pro!
I say get some old Jane Fonda work out taps- if nothing else you can laugh at the clothes and burn calories that way!

I agree........P90X is awesome. My brother in law is a personal trainer and he sent me one of the dvd's. It is the kickboxing and I LOVE it. I was doing it three times a week before leaving on vacation. I need to start it up again. On the other two days I would walk for 3 miles and the treadmill but that is sooooooooo boring. I have lost abot 25ish pounds and have a TON left to go.

I've heard good things about P90X but I've also heard it's pretty expensive. I use Jillian Michaels.

Those cupcakes look ridicuous! I have heard of the P90X too. I am thinking of doing it this fall but it is killer I hear. By the way, I was behind in reading but Anna's bed came out amazing! And isn't it fun to cross something off your list?

I love your proffessional cupcake studio. How did you do your frosting like that?

Jacobson Five said...

Oh, I have heard P90X is great but it is also pricey. I have Jillian Micheals 30 day shred, which is just a 20 minute workout, and it was only $7. I also have her trouble zones workout. Both are great workouts.

Ok, now that I look at this scrumptious little morsel again, I really want to post it on WhipperBerry! What do you think?

I just gained 10 pounds reading this post - could this look any more delectable? Not good for a postpartum mom trying to lose a pooch (and a triple chin).
