Getting Back on Track

No more procrastinating. I have to get back on track and get out of this funky mood I've been in for four months. I've been really busy and yet I feel like I haven't done anything constructive. You ever get in one of those moods where you are just mad or dislike everything? Food doesn't taste good, clothes don't feel good, bad hair days, bad face days, ya just want to crawl under and rock and sleep all day days. My two forms of entertainment lately have either been eating or sleeping. I'm one of those "emotional eaters". I get my feelings hurt....I eat. I get upset.....I eat. Depressed......eat. A celebration or a happy occassion......We EAT!!! Ugh!!! I spent the first five months of this year sweating and working my butt off and watching what I eat to loose 15 pounds. It only took two and a half to gain it all back!!! It's September 1st and I am making a vow that starting tomorrow I am going to get back on track and stay on track through the end of the year. Back to exercising, back to working out, back to eating healthy!!!! No more procrastinating! No more excuses! (although I did have some pretty good ones) Cracked my elbow, chipped my thumb, had my heart broken, and broke my toe. All of which were excuses to pig out or not work out.

Fortunately, most of those have healed and life will go on. I just need to stay focused and make healthy choices for myself, physically and emotionally. Now, check out this new cake recipe!!! Ha Ha!

Brownie Bites with Mocha Frosting

1 package brownie mix
Mocha Frosting
red and green sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare brownie mix as directed on package.  Use mini muffin tins to make bite size brownies.  I used some Christmas colored mini muffin paper cups but if you prefer you can just make them in the pan without cups, just be sure to spray muffin pan first.  Bake for 12-13 minutes.  Frost with a dollop of mocha frosting.  I used a pipping bag with a large star tip and just made a simple star in the center of the brownie button.  You don't want too much frosting so a star adds just the right amount.  See recipe below from the Red Velvet Cupcakes with Mocha Frosting for the frosting recipe.  It's also the same frosting recipe I made back in August for the Pioneer Woman's Mocha Brownies. After I made the star on the top of the brownie bites I sprinkled them with red and green sprinkles for some Christmas color.   Em, Em good!
