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!

Soup and Salad

1 HEB Tortilla Soup Kit

1 HEB Harvest Peach Salad Kit

Okay foodies, here is the tip of the day.  Like I told you before, one of my new fav things to do is surf the reduced produce counter at the grocery store.  Most of the time they have perfectly good stuff marked down to half price or less and still taste great.  I purchased the tortilla soup kit for 5.00 (regularly 9.99)and made it to go along with the Idaho Tacos.  It was a perfect compliment to the meal.  It was fast and easy to fix, everything you need is in the soup kit, you just saute the veggies, add the chicken and seasonings and water and simmer for 15 minutes.  They even give you the garnish that goes on top when you serve the soup like the tortilla strips, lime juice, cheese and cilantro.  Supper good soup!  Even the hubby liked it!!!

Now for the salad.  I got this salad kit for 99 cents!  I bought it on a Wednesday and didn't even prepare and serve it until the following Monday and it was still perfectly fresh!  It was a simple salad with romaine lettuce, almond slices, chopped and dried peach pieces and a peachy vinaigrette salad dressing.  You just toss and serve and that was it!  When the dressing hits the peach pieces it plumps them up so you can really taste the fruitiness of them.  It was so delicious.  I served this salad before the tortilla soup and the Idaho Tacos.  Yum!!!!!
