Shopping, Walking, Prepping

I love the day/night before a race. Doesn't matter what kind of mileage I am doing, I get all giddy and excited, anxious and nervous for what is going to happen the next day. I mean I have done this mileage numerous times before, but its the atmosphere, the people, surroundings, everything else that gets me all jazzed up.

Today, I had the day off from work and normally in the past before one of the half marathons that I have done, I have not had the privilege of being off for the whole, usually I am working. So when this one came around, I was thrilled to have it off. But my car was still not working today, so I was limited to what I really could do.

I knew I wanted to go for a walk today to warm up my legs and kind of debloat myself a bit. Get the heart pumping, blood flowing and sweat pouring. Since I am without my car, I figured I would walk and do my errands I had planned. I took the bus to the mall and then walked from the mall to Sports Authority, which turned out to be a little over 2 miles. At SA, I picked up a new running tank, mainly because I feel in the love with the colors and my fueling items; Gu, Sharkies and NUUN.

Then from SA I walked to Walgreens and got some water and almonds because my stomach was growling. Then back to the mall. I wanted to go to Old Navy so I could pick up the outfit I wanted to wear tomorrow. Old Navy has seriously stepped up their game with their active wear. It is truly fantastic and so cheap, well cheaper in price then others. The pants/carpi's are great and the tank tops are light, flowy and fit perfect, oh and their colors, yup everything I need and more.

You can say I could drop some serious money in Old Navy in just their active wear. I love Old Navy to begin with, but this made me fall in love all over again. So I picked up this awesome stripped white and mint green tank and black, stripped pants...


Flat Angelina, already to go!

And because I spent 50, I got back 20.00 in a coupon to use the end of the month. MORE ACTIVE WEAR :0)!!!!!

From Old Navy, I went to GNC to pick up my stock in QuestBars and now they sell PB2, genius! So I got my share and I had a 10.00 coupon to use, but I had seemed to deleted it and of course my SnipSnap App wouldn't work, and the manager lady was being a bitch, so I paid the full price, uggh. Oh well, means I can use the coupon again.

My stomach was growling again, but I held off so I could go to Yankee Candle and pick up some tarts and stuff for my car. Being I work in the mall and very close to all these stores, you would think I would not want to do this on my day off, but when I am at work, that is it, I go to work and leave, I never want to hang around, so I use my time wisely later on.

My stomach was mad so I went to Chick Fil A and tried there Grilled Market Salad...

It was absolutely delicious!!!! The salad was 4pp. Comes with some toppings that are 4pp also. 8pp for the whole salad with toppings and worth it. I loved it and will be splurging to get that more often.

After lunch I thought about taking the bus home because I didn't want to over work my legs and then I thought, who the heck am I?! I of course can walk home, it was is only 1.5 miles away, so I did just that! The total came to about 5.5 miles. I was very satisfied with that. I did wear the wrong socks, so my feet were quite sore.

I came home soaked in the bath, got my stuff all prepped and ready to go and showered and sat down and read a Weight Watchers magazine. Now I am going to cook some pasta and relax for the night. I am pretty tired from lack of sleep last night and being outside for a long time today walking around in the heat, so I'm hoping to be asleep no later that 10:00, giving me a good solid 6 hours.

I am ready and excited for the morning!

Talk to you soon!!

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
