Gasparilla Distance Classic Health & Fitness Expo & Night Before Routine

I love this Expo because there are so many awesome vendors that show up. From shoes, to shirts, to gadgets, to food samples and just fun giveaways. I had a blast today at the expo and I took my time just going up and down every aisle looking at everything. There were some awesome samples, like a protein ice cream, orange juice, Pretzel crisps, some BBQ, Detour sample bars, and Crystal Light flavor juices. I made sure to pick up everything I could.

I purchased some items too. I got two pirate headbands to match with what I am wearing this weekend, a Brooks Run Happy hat (so happy about that), a runner girl magnet for my car too. I couldn't find the the medal hanger, which I am bummed about, I am going to try to find a good one online.



Waiting in line for my challenge pick packet and my bib # and my jacket that comes with my registration, which I absolutely LOVE!!! So well worth it all, I had already received my shirts when I registered.



Size small also!! I could NEVER wear a material jacket like this before in a size small, ever!!



I thought this was the coolest thing at the whole expo. They listed all of the participants names. It was so neat to see my name there..






Being at the expo differently got me pumped up. Hoping I can sleep tonight. 

After the expo, I treated myself to getting my highlighted, I haven't done that in forever, I mean years! It was great to just relax and be pampered a bit.

I picked this shirt at the Fit2Run in Downtown Disney...


I love this shirt so much. I really want to run Disney one time too. Its on my bucket list for sure.

Tonight since tomorrow is the two races, the 15k and the 5k, James and I went out to CD Roma's for my carb loading meal. I will be eating a card tastic meal tomorrow too, but tonight we went out because he got out of work early. 

My typical meal is spaghetti and meatballs with some bread and a salad. I have before any long race and it works for me. Tonight we had the early bird special, which was perfect because it was a smaller portion, which I loved!! And I will be ordering that more often. I recommend asking for a lunch or early bird special, so you can enjoy a extra piece of bread or dessert. Smaller portion but the same perfect taste and not the extra of it all.

Here is my tradition picture...


Now off to a shower, prepping for tomorrow and early sleep.

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...
