First Friday

Okay so I am getting so excited for my trip back home to New York!!!!

I seriously can not wait. I have some things lined up with seeing my mom and best friend of forever! And doing things with my Poppy, but mainly it is just time away from work and everything. I don't have to worry about running errands, cooking, cleaning, etc. I can just relax and hang out.

I plan on catching up on some reading of magazines and especially books. I am going to try to run at least 6 of the days. The weather is freezing back home, like 26 degrees, this Florida girl is not used to that. But for days I just cant get a good run in, I am going to bring my Biggest Loser DVD also.

I usually buy myself some food items when I am home to keep me on track, mainly snack items and yogurt. I know I can make good choices and I plan on having splurges with dinners because my Poppy always makes me my favorite meals when I am home and I always go for seconds, since I cant get them throughout the year. If I gain, I gain. I am enjoying my vacation and using the time to just come back full circle.

And mainly just relax!!!!

This morning was a good one, I got up early again and meet my friend Jacke for a 3 mile run. I took it at a nice, comfortable slower pace this morning, and it was good. I got ready for work and had some oatmeal mixed with fresh raspberries and Mango Jam. Perfect combination by the way.

The other day I went to Plato's Closet and actually got this shirt for only 5.00 bucks..


Loved it! I would never be able to wear something like that before. I really need to start getting new work pants, those were a tad too big.

Now spending the rest of the night hanging out with James. We rend Dallas Buyers Club and I am so excited to watch it because of Matthew McCoughney. Yum!

Hope you all had a great Friday

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
