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!

Chocolate Cobbler

3/4 cups sugar
1 cup self rising flour
2 tbs cocoa
1/2 cup milk
3 tbs melted butter
1 tsp vanilla

Mix together and spread in a greased 9 x 13 pan.

Top mixture:  mix together and sprinkle over batter.
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cocoa

Pour 1 1/2 cup of hot water gently over the topping mixture.  DO NOT STIR! Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

Okay, this sounded so good, it looked really good and it smelled really good.  I served it warm with vanilla ice cream and it was a big hit with everyone except.....me.  I just didn't care for it.  To me it needed to be sweeter or needed cinnamon or something added to bring out the flavor.  It was just okay for me but it is worth a try.  Easy to make and your guest will like it.  It makes it's own hot fudge sauce as it bakes.  Give it a whirl.
