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!

Coconut Frosting Cake

1 package yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup cooking oil
1 cup water
1 container ready to spread pecan-coconut frosting

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour a bundt pan.  In a large bowl, combine mix, eggs, oil and water. Stir in frosting until well combined.  Pour into prepared pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes.

This is a very easy cake to make and it's super moist.  It makes a good cake to have with coffee in the morning. I have made this cake several times to share with my friends at work.  You can switch this up to make different flavors too.  I have used a German chocolate cake mix instead of yellow as well as an orange and a spice cake mix.  So you have a cake for your chocolate sweet tooth, a tasty fall cake and one to make in the spring or for Easter!
