December Run Streak Challenge Day 10 & Downtown Christmas Lights Downtown

Since I had a nice relaxing morning and afternoon, which included lots of couch time and a 2 hour nap! Woohoo! I love naps! And I think I deserve them more than I take them. I got up and went downtown to get a good run in. I wanted to go later in the day because I wanted to see the Christmas lights and tree all lit up. I mean it is gorgeous downtown anytime of year but there is a sparkle and magic in the air during Christmas with the lights, plus at amazing 75 degrees with a breeze, how could you not love it! I am truly blessed living in Florida.

I ended up getting 5 miles in, even when I stopped to take pictures of the lights and displays. I tend to not take pictures a lot when I run because I am so consumed with the pace and time and I miss a lot because of that, so today I let it go and ran and took pictures. And still managed to get a great run in!! I only walked for a bit and I actually sang while running and it is amazing when you don't take days off and have Rest or Recovery days, it doesn't even matter, I still feel great and truly am loving running.

Look at it, I have ran every day for 10 days straight now! Wow, tell that to the girl who weighed 234 pounds, 2 years ago if she would be doing that, she would have laughed and went back to eating chips with dip and soda! Amazing how one little act can change your whole out look on life.

Okay so it was a great run, I even saw my Weight Watchers group walking, I wish I could have turned around and went with them, but I wanted to get more miles in and had to run a few more errands. But I will be back walking on Wednesdays with them after the New Year for sure.

Streak Day 10: 5.00 miles
Total since December 1: 26.40 miles

Here are the cute lights I saw while running, I wish they could stay up year round...

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...
