Weekly Weigh In: Patience

Ughhh another bad week...

Not sure what is going on with my body, but I gained .8. Okay okay, I know that could be anything, it could be water retention, it could be lord knows. I did run 13.1 miles on Sunday and every time I have a long run, regardless, I always seem to have a small gain. It is so weird how my body reacts to those long miles. You would think that running for that long you would just drop the weight. Nope not with me, but what can I say is I am seeing a difference in my body for sure.

My sides feel smaller, my legs feel stronger, my calves are getting more defined. I feel lighter and my little pouch seems to be getting smaller, but see that scale, that scale is not moving. I am eating my points, making good decisions and drinking water more than I have ever had in my whole life I swear. I need something to just get me over this hump, this plateau. I went through this struggle last year also. I looked back at what I weighed this day last year and the same thing, the same exact weight, but I look way different.

So even if the scale and I are fighting and boy are we right now, the mirror and how I feel, well we are keeping on fighting. I am really, really hoping next week, we see a difference.

I am making good changes this week, really paying attention to what I am eating and how I am eating. My running this week, will taper off a bit this week because next Saturday and Sunday I run my Amber Challenge, so my activity points will be less, which will be my hunger will be less. I am really learning to eat to my hunger and eat to my fuel. This weight loss is an ongoing battle with me, but also an ongoing journey and learning process.

Each weigh in and each week is different for me, but I am not giving up and I am not getting discouraged. And mostly I am not going to eat away my feelings or emotions, if anything it makes me fight a little bit harder.



I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!

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

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
