December Run Streak Challenge Day 7 & A little Pink

Another good run this morning. I pushed a little farther than yesterday today because I didn't have a conference call this morning, which also meant I got to sleep in a bit too. I got up at 8:15 and out the door running by 8:30.

It was again hotter than normal today. I have no clue when this heat is going to break. I seriously love Florida weather, no snow, I can run every day and not worry about losing a toe to frost bite, but the whole drenched in sweat and panting from heat in December is getting a little old. We had a nice cold front a couple of weeks ago and then it left. But I know come May, I will be asking for this 75 degree heat rather than the 100.

I ran around our street this morning, passed two other runners. A lot of people walking there dogs, one tried to run along with me and some garage sales. I put in 3.08 miles, I hit done before looking I could have just gone a little more and it would have been a 5k. It felt good today. I only walked for 30 seconds twice, big improvement, remember my body and mind are trained for long distance. I am glad I got in a longer run this morning, there is a big sense of accomplishment when I go about my day knowing I got a pretty good run in before hand.

Well I am now catching up on some emails and news and fellow bloggers and enjoying my breakfast and coffee and then off to work from 11-7.

Have a happy Saturday!

I know this song is older but it came on while I was finishing up my run and I realized how much I love this song and it really is the theme song to my life!

Enjoy:


Day 7: 3.08 miles
Total since December 1st: 15.74 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...
