December Run Streak Challenge Day 14

Happy Saturday!!!

My life is now officially in work mode for the next 9 days! My mind, body and life is all about Things Remembered, Christmas and everyones holiday, which you know what for 9 days does not seem so bad. Today I worked from 11-7, which means of course I go in earlier and get out later, like always, it is just the nature of the beast and just who I am. I got up this morning and laid in bed for quite sometime until I knew I had to get going and run.

My store actually called me and woke me up, so since I was up I got my running clothes on and set out. I knew I was going to do a small run because I was tired and my body just felt a little beat. Hey I never said I was going to do long runs, only on days I really could, I just committed to at least a mile a day. The weather was perfect this morning and after a half of a mile I started to feel really good, so I ran for 2 this morning. Not a lot, not over hard, just a nice easy two miles to get me going. I felt great afterwords and I know it is really helping with my mind frame at work.

And after my run each morning so far a cup of coffee with a light Fiber English Muffin with Almond Butter on top has been my go to meal. I am full all day at work until the afternoon and my energy is high, until about 5, then I need some coffee. Thankfully a Starbucks is right next to my store, wish it was a Dunkin Donuts but what can you do.

At work today we all dressed in Santa hats and tried to make the busy Saturday fun and festive, it worked!! Everyone was in good spirits and we had a nice and busy day. 







After work I did some Christmas shopping for James, he is so spoiled and I have gotten him everything he has asked for AND then some AND I am not done yet. I love Christmas and always go above and beyond. I just cant help it!! We decided to eat at Panera tonight for dinner because I really didn't want to cook and knew I had some stuff to do, it was quick, easy and delicious. I did the pick 2 with the Creamy tomato soup and The Roasted Turkey Wheatberry Salad, both delicious!!!

Also one little point the Advocare really came at a great time, the energy I have is great, I almost don't want to be off of it lol. But it really has changed my habits, even if the last two days I have been craving a little bit of bad food, you gotta cheat sometime. 

Now I am home and relaxing, I am seriously so tired. I almost fell asleep writing this. I am off tomorrow and doing some serious relaxation, even though we are going to a friends house for the Redskins game, which I am still up in the air about. I'm sure it is going to be a good time, but once I am home, I'm back in my PJ's with my magazines and just laying around.

Day 14 Miles: 2
Total since Dec. 1: 31.04

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...
