December Run Streak Day 6

Day 6, its kind of cool to be at this day and have ran 6 times this week. My mind and body are so used to doing longer runs and having 2-3 rest days a week, sometimes I would take a rest day and not really need it. But I during those days that weren't rest I was running a really long day, a longer run and then probably about 3 miles. This is why I am really liking this challenge, I am learning how to reprogram my mind and body. I am sort of putting in the same mileage as if I was training for my half, but just using everyday and small amounts.

Today I got up at 7:15 and was out the door by 7:45. I knew today was going to be a run down the block and back type of run because I have a conference call at 9, then eat something, shower, get ready for work and then be out the door by 10:30 to get to work. If I didn't have that conference call I would be out a little longer running. My legs still feel stiff but not as bad as they were.

This morning I got in 1.38 miles in 14.07 minutes. I can see I am slowly improving with my pace. BUT like I said this isn't about time or pace, its just about me getting out there and doing this every day. Two days next week really make it hard for me. Monday and Tuesday. I thought about this while I was running today, how I was going to make these days work, I have to work from 8-5, which most would say, run after work! Yeah not so easy, I can promise I wont be getting out on time those days. So I figure those will be 1 mile mornings.

I like this running in the morning before work because I can really clear my head for a bit. I go to sleep thinking about work, waking up, worrying, wondering, scheduling, so when I am running it allows me to clear up all that nonsense and make sense of it all too.

So Day 6 is in the books and I am fueling with my Emergen-C. Heading to work soon for 11-7 and then grocery shopping and I think I have to pick up a Christmas gift. Oh and the fun thing about this is I am sleeping like a champ every night lol!

Have a happy Friday!

Day 6 Mileage 1.33
Total since December 1: 12.66

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.

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...
