The week ahead

Okay so this week is a bit of whirlwind of a week, lots of little things going on, all very fun, but things that throw off my whole routine and week. For instance tomorrow after work, James and I are driving to Kissamee to visit a friend from college who is here from PA with his family. We are driving to see them for the night and all day Tuesday, then driving back Wednesday morning just in time to be back at work by 12.

So with these two things going on, one I cant weigh in on Tuesday, which is my regular time. I cant weigh in tomorrow because it closes earlier, nor Tuesday, and I am hoping that before work on Wednesday I can weigh in. I am not expecting much of anything because, it is an off day and two I haven't been in a routine this week with all going on. But I have to weigh in one day to keep myself accountable. It is only a number and that is what I will continue to tell myself.

Thursday I work a half day of work and then I plan on just relaxing. I took the half day, so I can just do some of my own things. I plan to do a shaking out my legs, warm up for this weekend. Just a 3 mile walk. I am resting my legs this whole week. I didn't end up running tonight after the bridal show because I was having some sharp pain down my side and the ladies I was going to run with all had prior engagements or injuries, so it was meant to be a rest day.

 Plus my boss, who ran this challenge and then some last year, told me the whole week of the race, she didn't run or work out her legs, just rested. I think I am going to take her advice. I am going to eat as best as I can, drink tons of water every day and work on upper body strength and keep my legs nice and fresh.

Friday is the expo and then I am going to possibly get my hair highlighted and then of course rest all day. And then Saturday, DAY 1!!! I cant explain all the different emotions and excitement I am expressing!! Each day it gets closer and closer and I am busting at the seams with how exciting this race is going to be for me. I am a bit nervous, but mostly I just want to run. Another reason I am excited I am resting, because I will be ready to just go.

See, between the unexpected vacation days and the race and the day off weigh in. I am just trying to stay above water. I know while we are gone I am making healthy choices and if we go to an amusement park, the walking will feel great.  I am going to track my food and be ready for the races. Friday and Saturday I will fuel properly. This is a very exciting week and I cant wait for it all unfold.

Anyone else having a fun week also??

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

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
