Day 4: Biked

Ever have one of those days when you know when things are just going to go down hill??!!

I swear I felt this way this morning. I set my alarm to get up at 7, so as per my schedule I could get either a walk or XT in. I thought since I was opening for work, this would be the best way, well my head said something else, and like an outer body experience happening, I reset my alarm and went back to sleep and overslept.

Ughh. I should have just got up and go it over with. I really have a hard time with that on work days, days off no problem, go figure!

So I showered super quick, grabbed my lunch and goodies and got to work, thinking the whole time, I have to work out after work.

Work went by smoothly, until the end when I found out one of my staff members would be leaving. Which means my schedule for tomorrow is now an open to close, rather than just a close. Fantastic! Now when I was going to maybe sleep in a little bit, I have to get up and then run and then work all day.

Oh well!  I am in this training for the long run.

No pun intended.

After work, I raced to get my work out clothes on and went to the gym for some XT. We have a super tiny gym in our apartment complex, but it does have a bike, so I choose that because I can read my Nook while working out, plus the dreadmill was taken. I hope I never have to do running mileage on that, I HATE IT!

I really kicked up the biking tonight. I used heavy watts and a longer work out and rode about 11 miles and burned over 300 calories. I can feel it in my butt and leg. It felt great and I was dripping in sweat when I got up.

Satisfied with my work out, I started dinner. I was thinking about dinner all day. Crazy I know. I roasted some spaghetti squash, heated some turkey meatballs, roasted broccoli, which was to die for tonight. I took one slice of Arnold Italian bread and sprinkled some garlic powder and Italian seasoning and made a very low calorie and point garlic bread. Paired it with a salad with fat free ranch and it was heavenly. I made some for my bf but he decided to eat out tonight.

I made this beautiful dinner I was really proud about and he could care less.

Guys really suck sometime. I can tell my training might put a strain on US. But well we will see.

Now I am just catching up on some shows and hopefully a solid night of sleep, considering tomorrow will be a long day!

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
