Being positive~~~~~~

This cam be hard. In fact it isn't possible to be positive everyday! And you know what? That's ok! Be it hormonal...life choices...decisions...what ever life still goes on no matter if we are positive or not. BUT that being said...we all know if your day is filled with good thoughts. It is better. I do talk to myself about a positive attitude. I can tell with in a few minutes of my feet hitting the floor in the morning if I feel, well, hmmmm you know. :)

Attitude effects a wide range of your life, health included

But a positive attitude can be a great source of strength. How strong is your attitude?
While a positive attitude cannot guarantee perfect health, it can make a noticeable difference.
If you feel this is nonsense or not I'm sorry, but i do believe in meditation. Believe in something. Think it enough and you will be surprised what happens~positive conditions for change I call it. Picture yourself doing or being someone or something you want.~~thin~happy...you get it...right? Spend time in meditation letting go of negative thoughts. Your positive attitude will prevail!

Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Servings: 16 • Serving Size: 1 slice • Calories: 224 • Points: 5.25 pts

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup flaked coconut
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg, optional
1 pinch ginger, optional
3 tbsp canola oil
2 whole large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups grated zucchini, unpeeled
20 oz. can crushed pineapple in juice, drained
Frosting:

8 oz 1/3 fat Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, coconut, baking soda, salt, and spices; stir well with a whisk.

In a medium bowl, combine oil, eggs, and vanilla; stir well. Add grated zucchini and pineapple; mix well. Fold wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, batter will be stiff and dry but keep folding it and it will all come together.

Spoon batter into a Bundt pan or 13 x 9-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for about 33-40 minutes, depending on pan size or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and cake is pulling away from sides of pan. Cool cake completely on a wire rack.

To prepare frosting, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread frosting over top of cake. You can garnish with chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired (extra points).
