December Run Streak Challenge Day 25: Merry Christmas

Okay so this post will be short and sweet, because we are about to go grab some food and later I have a nice post reflecting Christmas I want to write, but for now I have to get my Run Streak on.

Well much to my surprise I was given an amazing running accessory for Christmas, I secretly was wishing for....


Woohoo!!! My running watch and in pink!!!!! I looked online and they seemed sold out, but I asked James awhile ago and really didn't think I would get it. He is the absolute best and I cant imagine a better and bigger supporter in my life than him. He treats me like gold and supports my healthy lifestyle and running, it really, truly makes me the luckiest girl on the face of the planet.

So I waited to get my run streak on until after our lunch and a long winters nap I took. I was just beat, but when I got up I was ready to run. I grabbed my phone and my new watch and hit the street. I still used my Runtastic app because it alerted me at each mile and I wanted to compare the two, the Garmin was definitely more on point. I loved the watch, it is simple, and fits great, light weight and made me feel like a true runner. It also has the run/walk alerts you can set, which is awesome!!

The pink color of course is so me. After my run, I was able to save the history and I set a new record and fastest mile, of course considering it was my first time I had great results.

I got in 4.03 miles.



I had a nice, easy pace and run. Nothing too hard and the weather was perfect. I ran down some streets that had beautiful Christmas lights and I listened to my Christmas Pandora station. It was a great way to get exercise in on the holiday. 

I seriously can not wait to run more with this watch, I am so blessed.

Day 25: 4.03 miles
Total since December 1: 55.90 miles

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...
