December Run Streak Challenge Day 31: Happy New Years Eve

Holy Macaroni and Cheese Balls it is New Years Eve!!!!

I cant believe that in 11 hours the year is over...wow where did it go.

I was so busy running, it just crept right up on me.

But if you want to read my reflection on 2013, which was a pretty great one, scroll down, its the next post :0)

Okay so day 31...I originally set my alarm for 7:30 to run this morning. I knew I wanted to do at least 4 miles. 4 miles have been my go to mileage lately, plus its an easy route for me and enough to stretch out my legs. And when running 4 miles I earn about 8 activity points and burn almost 450 calories. Pretty awesome.

Well I ended up sleeping in until 830. I was having a pretty intense dream and I didn't even realize I turned off my alarm and went back to sleep. Once awake I got dressed and hit the street. The weather is great for running, no humidity and just enough of a breeze. It really was the best way to end 2013.



Last year this day I started a big part of my running journey. This was the time that I really put the pedal to the medal and started the journey. On this day last year, I ran 6 miles in an hour and 13 minutes. An average pace of 12.18. This year I ran 4 miles in 43 minutes and an average pace of 10:45. What a difference a year can make.

I wanted to document my running last year into this year and I got a running journal. I was really strict with it, with writing down each and every run and how I felt, the pace, the time and the location, just all the details of it. Well I made it for most of the year and then I forgot about it. Well I back tracked and filled in based off my Runtastic App and I ended up running this whole 823.46 miles!!!!!!!

Woohoo!!!

I cant even believe that I ran that much in a year. This is the girl who would never ever run. Well my goal for 2014 is to hit 1,000 miles in a year. But my goals for 2014 will be to be continued until tomorrow when the new year begins.

So one more day of my Run Streak of running at least a mile a day from December 1-January 1st!

Day 31: 4.13 miles
Total since Dec. 1st: 75.07 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

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going

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
