December First

I know I say this every month, but holy heck where has it all gone. I cant believe today is December 1st. 30 days and then whole year is gone and over with! What a crazy ride this year has been too and I fully intend to make this last month great, well try to at least. I do have to work and manage to make it out alive during the busiest and craziest time of the year at my job!

But anyway I have been seeing a lot of different fitness pledges for this month, such as skinny snowman challenges, eat clean challenges, work out and do something every day, etc. I really want to participate in something like that, I really do, but realistically I am not sure if I can! My job takes a whole lot out of me during this time of year, A LOT! I sometimes barely can sleep because I am up all night wondering how they are doing, how late will they be staying, I go in earlier than my shifts all time and end up staying late every single night I close. My free time is limited and usually exhausting.

But I don't want my work to inter fer with how I live my life, even though my work is my life at times, make sense, I feel like I am not. I might be still in wedding haze from last night festivities  of my friends nuptials. I really want to do the running streak, run at least a mile every single day. I think I can really do this challenge. I think I can actually take the time to do this at least once a day for the whole month of December.

I am really going to fight it and do this. If I have to get up earlier a bit or run at night when I get home, I am really going to try. And if I cant, well I will try to do something else. I forget that there is a ton of things I can do, go to the gym where I pay 10.00 a month, DUH, use my at home DVD's, walk around the block, use my free weights and kettle bells. I have tons of outlets to do and I am going to do it. I want to do something every single day, I think I can run at least once a day every day. Scratch that, I know I can!!!!

I am not doing this to stay on track, I know I can stay on track during this time of year. I don't attend parties or cookie exchanges, so the temptation is not valid, but I am doing this to make sure I enjoy my life still, even when it is crazy and I think this might, just MIGHT, keep me a little bit sane!



Take the challenge with me or start your own. Make this last month of the year, your own!

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...
