Goodbye February, Hello March

Happy New Month!!!



I love the start of a new month, its like a new year, new birthday, a start of something fresh, new and exciting. You cant start over again with a new month, or if you are ending a great one, you can carry that enthusiasm over to the new one.

February was good, very busy and held a big accomplishment for me.

I didn't have a great weigh in month, my weight went up and down the whole month, but I never gave up, I weighed in every time, so it's a victory all its own.

I got new running shoes.

I survived Valentine's Day at work and successfully.

I enjoyed chocolate. James and I went out on many date nights.

I put in 78 miles of running for the whole month.

I ran the Gasparilla Michelob Ultra Amber Challenge, 25.5 miles in 2 days, 3 races and earned 4 medals.

Oh yeah and I finished!!

Not a whole lot going on in February but it was a good month I do say so myself.

Now March...

March is one of those months were I am very up in the air about it. March brings a lot of fun for me, a lot of family, a lot of love, busy month, some relaxation, amazing weather in Florida.

My heart, my soul and favorite person in the whole world; Poppy, his birthday is this month and I get to be home with him to celebrate it.

I am going home for a whole week to be around my family and for vacation, which means running, shopping, family and lots of relaxation and feeling whole again.

But March also brings heartache for me..

It's the anniversary of my dad's death on March 13th. The main reason I am going home for vacation. I love to be home around my family during this time, it is just too hard for me to do alone.

Even though this is a big heartache for me, and I feel like every day in March I am replaying it over and over again, I am going to fight back. I am going to get stronger.

My goals for March are:

 Read a little bit more, at least 2-3 books.
Run at least 100 miles this month.
Sign up for the Iron Girl Half Marathon for April
Run at least 5-6 days while on vacation
Lose at least 5 pounds
Try a new fruit or veggie
Bake or cook a new recipe
Laugh at least once a day
Smile everyday
Enjoy every moment with my family while I am home.

Goodbye February and Hello March!

What are some of your goals for March?

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
