December Run Streak Challenge Day 16

The craziness has begun in my life. The mall hours are longer and earlier, customers are non stop and my staff is starting to stay later and later and not doing anything I need to do when I need them to do them. Oh the joys of Christmas and retail store management, but all in all I really love my job and there is only 9 more days left of the craziness.

I have to say with the Advocare and taking my vitamins and Airborne it is really helping with me being alert and having tons of energy. I get that little 3:00 clock mid afternoon tired but then it passes when I am running around to the next customer.

Today I was able to get out on time, which I was thankful for because I had been at work since 7:00, since we opened at 8:00. I came home and like Christmas morning my subscription box Bestowed was waiting on my door step. I love that subscription box. I opened it up right away and of course it had all amazing fun stuff. I snacked on some of the items because I have been starving all day.

It is a brisk 56 degrees here in Florida today, so I wanted to get my run in before the sun went down and it got even colder. I got in a nice brisk 2.50 miles. The cold weather felt great in my lungs and it was such a nice change of pace to not sweating to death. I got home and had a yogurt, again I was starving.

It felt nice to just have a good run after work, it really cleared my head. Tomorrow is a busy day from morning to night, but I think I can get my run in the morning before work, it will be early, very early, but worth it in the end.

Now I am curling up with a cup of hot chocolate, a light snack and something cute on T.V.

Day 16: 2.50
Total December 1: 36.04 miles

    Hi Angelina, you are doing so marvelous! I just started working for a store here in California, so I know exactly what you are talking about as far as it being busy at work. Of course you have all the management headaches and hours which I don't have yet, but hopefully soon. Your diligence at sticking to your running commitment even in the midst of your hectic work season is inspiring dear; and I am proud of you. Have as good a day as you can. Talk to you soon.

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...
