When it rains...keep running

I have to say today was just one of those days, in a good and bad way. I went to run with Jacke downtown today and our run started off great, then all of a sudden the sky got really dark and then it opened up. We planned on doing 4 miles, and by the time it started raining we were half way done, so we figured what is a little rain, well it turned out to be much more, buckets were literally being thrown at us.

 I felt like Forest Gump, rain was coming at all angles, all types of rain.

Fellow runners we were passing, they got us, they understood we had mileage to get in and we were going to get it done, no matter what. It stung our eyes so bad, our bodies ached from running through pools of water, and we were just beyond wet. OH and the best part, as we were running, I looked down at my pants and suds were coming out from my legs. Yup, laundry detergent was still stuck to my pants and from the running and water, it was creating soup. I didn't know how to react, I was so embarrassed, but at that point all I could do was laugh.

We had a great morning plan that after our run we were going to go the Saturday Morning Market, but because of the rain we only made it to one stand. But we did finish our mileage, even if we walked a bit. When I got home, I had the worst chills and all I wanted to do was get in my sweats and get warm. I got nice and warm with a cup of coffee and even laid down for a bit, I was out of it, luckily I had to close today.

The majority of the day went smoothly and even had my favorite pizza for dinner, the boyfriend was buying and I was really happy all I had to do was pick it up and not cook.

Hope everyone had a dry Saturday!

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.

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...
