Weekly Weigh In: A Weird One

As much as I don't want to throw this out there I am going too. I feel like I had a pretty good week, I ran and went to the gym every day except Monday. I got in a long run on Wednesday, did some 2:1 running intervals, went to the gym and worked out and I thought I ate pretty well. I ate over my 49 extra points, but racked up 36 Activity points. I have been drinking tons of water and other liquids, green tea, my diet soda, I know not the greatest but I have an obsession with it lol. I have ate fruits and veggies, but I noticed I was craving carbs a lot this week. Like chips and such, I found healthy alternatives, such as Special K crisps, nothing that were not at least Weight Watchers approved.

So today when I got on the scale before my meeting tonight, I had full hope I would have lost something or stayed the same. Boy was I surprised!! I had gained 4.4 pounds. I literally had tears welling up in my eyes. The manager said by your reaction I am assuming you weren't expecting that. I said no so quickly, and all honestly I had no clue!! 4.4 pounds in a week! I didn't do anything crazy, I didn't go anywhere weird, it wasn't like I was on vacation or having a cheat week, I was shocked. During the meeting I couldn't pay attention to the topic, which so happened to be slip ups. I felt like this was a slip up, but didn't know where the fall came from.

Maybe it was my extra cups of coffee or the goldfish I was having an attack with haha. But none of that matters but what the scale showed. Let me take that back, nothing mattered than how I feel. The scale doesn't always reflect what is going on in your life. I look in the mirror and I do not see someone who gained 4.4 pounds, I see someone who is toning and shaping their body. Someone who is working hard every day to better myself. And after a good hour or so of self pity, I decided to pick myself up!

I laced up my running shoes, got my gear ready and got in a 3.1 mile run. It was a tough run, it was extremely hot, I was wearing the wrong clothes and my mind was definitely distracted, BUT I got the run in. I wanted to at least hit 4 but there was thunder and lightening and I really did not want to get caught in a downpour, no matter how hot I was. I made it back to my apartment, sweaty and satisfied. I started dinner and vowed I was going to be really great this week.

Maybe the gain was due to gaining muscle. Or due to the fact I have been taking a lot of Tylenol for headaches I have been having, this actually happened to me last year the same time, who knows and who cares at this point. I have to own it, look at the bigger picture and move on!!! A gain will happen, its part of the progress!

I cant wait to see it drop off next week though :0)!!

Fingers crossed and toes!!

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

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

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

Image
First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and
