Trying Out The New Smoothie Maker: SUCCESS

Good Morning again!!!!

This time I am up for good, I cant believe I was wide awake at 5ish and couldn't go back to sleep for quite some time. And when I finally did, I was out and having some crazy dreams. But the good part was I actually slept in, I know my body and mind needed and wanted it. Even though i was off last week a couple of days, I was doing stuff, running and not sleeping in, so it was nice this morning to just shut off and go with it. Like I mentioned James and I are both off today and he woke up feeling much better, thankfully. And I think I might use today as a rest day! ( rest in the since from running and weights)  I haven't had a rest day in 35 days, so I think I just might enjoy today a bit. Feels weird but I think I need it.

I am originally from New York, where all my family still is and I have been getting lots of posts on Facebook of the snowstorm they just had. Roads are bad, schools are closed, and freezing cold. I DO NOT MISS IT AT ALL!!! I miss home don't get me wrong, but I do not miss the cold and especially not the snow. I feel bad for my family, especially my Poppy because I know the snow makes life a little harder for him, with his health and able to do things. I know when my dad was alive he would shovel and snow plow and do all those things for him. I know my Uncle takes care of it now, but its still that feeling.

Anyway down here in Florida we do not have snow, but we are having quite a cold front. It is a very chilly 45 degrees. It wouldn't be so bad but the wind makes all the difference and to be quite honest I am a baby when it comes to the cold weather now. I bundle up like a snow bunny and complain. But that is here nor there. So lets just say it is our snow day here in Florida. I slept in, still in my PJ's and its cold, BUT I will be able to go out and do stuff today and not worry about cleaning off my car. WIN!

In thoughts of warm, tropical climate I decided to use my Smoothie maker James got me for Christmas.



I threw in...



1 sliced in half Frozen Banana
1 cup of No Sugar Added Mango Chunks
1 cup of Fresh Cut Pineapple
1 cup of Diet V8 Splash, Tropical
1 scoop of Vanilla Whey Protein
1/2 cup of Plain, Fat Free Greek Yogurt



Makes 2 servings.
3pp per serving!!! Or if you want the whole thing only 6pp

Enjoy with someone else or keep in the fridge for a snack later or for the next morning, can also refreeze!



My smoothie maker has an automatic smoothie button and it makes the perfect smoothie. I am officially hooked and in love with this machine.

Smoothie craziness coming your way!!

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...
