Day 2 Run Streak

Got day 2 done and over with. I did have full intention of getting up and running before I went to work today, I had to be at work at 9:00, so I figured if I got up around 7 I would be good to go. Well of course my alarm went off at 7 and my brain and body said sleep more and reschedule. And that is what I did. I knew I would have to put my run off until when I got home from work and I was going to make sure I did just that and I did.

It was a close call too. I got out of work at 5:15 and I had to get my car fixed so I picked my car up and changed very quickly into my running clothes. My boyfriend wanted me to pick something up from Walgreen's which is on my running route, so I figured kill two birds with one stone. I ran to Walgreen's which was a mile away, completed it in 10:23 and then turned off my Runtastic and then shopped and ran the other way home. I got to my front door from the way back at .81, so I turned down a street and went to 1.00 mile. And get this I did it 9:37!!!

That was my fastest mile in a really long time. Usually I sit between 10:30-11:30 depending on how long I am running for and how I am feeling. I was happy that with a backpack full of goodies and it being super dark I managed to shave a minute off my mile. So instead of 1 mile, I got in 2!

The streak is on like donkey Kong now!! I am motivated and really want to do this and accomplish it. I know that a mile a day is a great goal and I will be excited to accomplish this. I know I am only two days in but I can see the silver lining.

Besides my run streak, I thought it would be nice to track the mileage too. Running every day is awakening my spirit of running. Its not about time, pace or mileage, I am not training for anything, I'm just getting out there and enjoying running.

Day 2:
2 miles
Total since December 1: 5 miles
2 Day Streak

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.

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...
