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!

Mummy Dogs

1 8 oz can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
2 1/2 slices cheese, quartered
10 large hot dogs
cooking spray
mustard

Heat oven to 375°F. Unroll dough; separate at perforations, creating 4 rectangles.  Press perforations to seal. With a knife or kitchen scissors, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough.  Slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice cheese cut in half).  Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog and 1/4 slice of cheese to look like bandages, stretching dough slightly to completely over hot dog.  About 1/2 inch from one end of each hot dog separate bandages so hot dog shows through for the face.  On ungreased large cookie sheet place wrapped hot dogs (cheese side down); spray dough lightly with cooking spray. Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot.  Use mustard dots for eyes and also mustard for dipping. (recipe and photo provided by Pillsbury)
 
I've made these before just for a Saturday night snack.  I just wrapped the crescent roll triangle around the dog with a 1/2 slice of cheese added.  The difference here is that you have to get creative and cut the crescent roll dough and layer it on to look mummified.  Cute, fun and delicious!!!
