Rabbit, Rabbit

I remember when I was in school, someone said that if you say Happy Birthday or Rabbit, Rabbit when you wake up the first of the month, it will bring you good luck, and well I am all about good luck!! So this morning, I uttered Rabbit, Rabbit and started my day. Good luck apparently does not want to be much on my side because I woke up feeling like crap. The back of my throat and the inside of my ear were really hurting me and all week I have been experiencing some stupid sinus issues, dull headaches, pain behind the eyes, stuffy nose and the list goes on. I am really trying to not take any Tylenol or ib. because I heard they contain a lot of sodium which can result in weight gain, weird I know but it happened to me once before. I download a cup of Vitamin C and got a work out in at the gym. Did 30 minutes on the bike and then 30 minutes of legs and some arms. Felt good but I was just trying to cover up the pain I believe. Ran some errands and then came home to cook a phenomenal breakfast.

Having a day off allows me to spend some time in the kitchen that I normally do not have time for. I scrambled egg whites, with peppers and hot sauce. Laid them on top of Whole Wheat Thomas Bagel Thin, smeared with a tablespoon of avocado, and then included 2 pieces of turkey bacon! DELICIOUS!!! It was filling and satisfying and came out to 6pp! Just the amount of pp I like to start my day off with.

The rest of my day off was spent just relaxing. I wanted to lay out by the pool and finally get some sun, but of course, mid summer Florida thunderstorms. I laid out for at least an hour and then made my way indoors. I did get some color and made it through half of a magazine, which I never seem to accomplish these days. For lunch I indulged in a BLT, FIT Popcorn, a plumout, some pickles, and a sugar free chocolate pudding cup! I seriously love day offs haha! BLT was of course made with turkey bacon and reduced calorie bread, some lettuce and a slice of tomato. I also put 1 tsp of Dijoinaise on there to give it a little bit of a kick. FIT popcorn is 37 calories per cup and I had 2! Very satisfying and its the popcorn that is Biggest Loser approved.    




After lunch I just wasn't feeling all that great, so I curled up to a nap. Woke up and felt just drained. Made the decision to not participated in a local gym's fun run that they do every Thursday night. I think my body is trying to give me some signals its a little run down and need just some time to chill out. I hate feeling weak, its my biggest pet peve of myself, but I am giving in and have just been relaxing. I have to say it has been sort of nice. Dinner is cooking in the crock pot and just waiting for the boy to get home, so we can dive into some turkey chili.

So despite how I am feeling, maybe August will turn out to be good in my favor.

Low Point Apple Crisp

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.

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
