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!

Idaho Tacos

1 pound ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning
4 baked potatoes
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped green onions
Salsa

In a skillet, brown beef, drain, add taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions.  With a sharp knife, cut on X in the top of each baked potato; fluff pulp with a fork.  Top with taco meat, cheese and onions.  Serve with salsa if desired.

How easy is that?  I did my potatoes in the microwave while I prepared the taco meat so it was a fast meal to prepare as well as easy.  You could and probably should bake the potatoes in the oven, I think they turn out better that way, and another tip would be to not use Ortega Taco Seasoning.  That is the one I used and to me it didn't have much taste to it.  One of the other brands would probably be better.  This was a good meal however, so try it when your in a bit of a hurry to get dinner on the table.  I served it with tortilla soup and a harvest peach salad (details in the post above).  It was a good, light and slightly guilt free dinner not to mention cheap and easy!
