Motivation Monday- 7/29

I really wish I took my own advice today!! This morning I had full drive to go for a run after work tonight, I brought my clothes, water bottle and gym boss to make sure I was fully prepared. Well, lets just say the case of the Monday's! I woke up in a funk, I had a really bad dream last night that set me off. While getting ready for work I just couldn't get it going and then when I got to work, I was all over the place. The phone was non-stop, the orders were coming in and I was busy, which I was very happy about, but it knocked me out and didn't help my mood.

So after work all I wanted to do was put on my yoga pants, an old tee-shirt and veg out on the couch for a bit. I literally did that when I got home, I curled up on the couch and just unwind.  I haven't had much alone and me time, so I was really needing this, even if it was just an hour. I know I should have just sucked it up and put on my running gear and went outside, but mentally and physically I just couldn't do it.

And that's okay!! Some days there just might be an off day. I will own that day, I needed the rest day, I needed to just sit back and relax for a bit. I will own this, I regret it a bit, I know I should have put on my running gear and got some miles in. I know that running improves my mood and would have put all my day behind me and start fresh. I know this for next time and next time I will fight through it, but today was really a carrot and hummus veg out night after work!!!

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look
