Saturday & Sunday

Despite having to work on a Saturday, I really don't mind it all, I work retail, it comes with job lol.

On Friday I went to Old Navy and used a Super Cash gift certificate I had. I ended up picking up a black sweater dress and sparkle tights and a long sleeved sweat shirt like shirt.

I decided to wear the new dress and sparkle tights to make Saturday a bit more exciting...


I was loving the look put together. The sparkle tights were so cute and I will be wearing them more often and the dress was comfortable. It was medium but I could have definitely used a small if they had it. I love moments like that.

When I got home from work James had surprised me with a bottle of my favorite wine, Red Cat. It was a great surprise and I wasn't planning on drinking or having a glass, but how could I say no to a very sweet gesture like that. Part of 2014 goals for each other, was I would love if he thought of me more often. When I am out at a store, I always pick something up for him, to let him know I was thinking of him, I asked him to do the same. And this was exactly what I was looking for.

I made a light dinner and enjoyed two glasses of wine with some fat free popcorn and Breaking Bad.


And it was a great Saturday night.

I ended up getting a great night sleep, which has been rare. I didn't really set an alarm and figured we didn't have anything planned today, so I would just wake up whenever and then just run. So I slept until 9:30, packed my to go bag for running, fueled with a Quest Bar ( I have a HUGE obsession) with them, a banana and some NUUN for hydration.

It had rained hours before so the weather was kind of perfect. I didn't have to bundle up or freeze to death. My quads were still a bit tight, but felt great since I had taken the two days off to rest from the back to backs. I ended up getting in 8 miles and I was having a great pace and time. I actually finished about 2 minutes better than prior. The only thing that stunk was I had forgotten to charge my Garmin, so at mile 7.65, it died. Luckily I know the route by heart.

After my awesome run I headed home and James and I went to Chipotle for lunch. I was starving! We have a serious obsession with Chipotle lately and I am totally okay with it because with Weight Watchers I know exactly how to order and what to order. And with Activity Points and weeklies I can even enjoy the chips.

Since it was a rainy day, we made it a lazy day and finished Season 2 of Breaking Bad, which by the way, HOLY HECK AMAZING!!!! And we were so hooked we started season 3, we cant get enough. It's sad to say we watched at least 4 hours of it back to back, but I mean come on, it is so worth it.

A friend of ours stopped by now tonight to watch the Pro Bowl and The Grammy's. I wanted to share my dinner, which actually was "Brinner"


2 pieces of Sara Lee 45 Calorie Bread (2pp)
1 Tablespoon of Walden Farms Cranberry Sauce (0pp)
1 Tablespoon of Philadelphia Protein Cream Cheese (1pp)
5 pieces of Land of Frost Canadian Bacon (1pp)
1/2 cup of Egg Substitute (1pp)
Tomato, pepper, onion mixture (0pp)
1/4 cup of Fat Free Shredded Cheese (1pp)
1 Medium Sweet Potato, cut up into chunks, baked with spray olive oil, salt and pepper (3pp)

So delicious and hit the spot. I was craving breakfast and this was exactly it. Look at all those power foods, filing items and all for only 9pp!

And to start the week off right, a little motivation from by far my favorite quote and motto I live by..


Have a great start to the week!!!

Low Point Apple Crisp

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
