Motivational Monday: Overslept


This morning I planned I was going to get up and get going. I was going to cook a really great breakfast, well it was going to be a waffle with some turkey sausage, sit down with coffee and write a great blog post about Monday motivation and the impact of music. Well, as you can see the time stamp it is now 10:43 pm and I am now just getting to my computer. I overslept this morning, I just kept hitting that glorious snooze button, actually it was more me just resetting the time over and over. By the time I finally got up, I had to kick it into overdrive and get ready for work. I didn't even get to sit down and enjoy my breakfast. I cooked a bagel and spread it with some Earth Balance Peanut Coconut Spread and grabbed my coffee to go.

Why is is some morning I get up with such gazelle intensity and others I can barely make it out of the bed without throwing myself off the bed onto the floor to wake up.



So my whole Motivational Monday, wasn't very motivational. But regardless I did have a decent day. After work, I literally raced home to get into my running gear, I wanted to run no matter what. But like all things on this glorious Monday, as I put on my gear the lightening and thunder and rain came. So without thinking or anything else, I drove myself to the gym and got on the Cross Trainer and pushed out 45 minutes. I wanted to make sure I didn't walk back in my house because I couldn't run and give up. I forced myself, I became my own motivation. And you know what it felt pretty great!

So regardless of my Monday not being how I orginally wanted it to be, I made it the best it could be. And my motivational music post, oh that is coming soon don't you worry!!

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
