Starting Stats

Okay today I had James take some of my measurements and take a picture of me in my bra and panties to show the front, side and back view. While I am a pretty open person, very open, I am not ready to show those pictures out on the Internet JUST yet. While I promise to post them side by side with the end pictures, I am not ready for just the beginning yet.

I do have to say I was surprised at how I looked. While I think I looked terrible, the more I looked at the pictures, all I could see is how far I had come and really took a look at my body and where I once was and I am very excited to take it to the next level with this training.

So here are some of my measurements

Bust: 35 in
Arms (Biceps) : 13 1/2 in
Thighs: 25 in
Waist: 35, Size around 8 or 6 depending on pants of shorts and brand
Calves: 17 in
Shirt size: Small or medium depending on brand

I don't keep a scale at my house so I will use the weight I had when I weighed in this past Tuesday, which is 159. I will still continue to weigh in every week with Weight Watchers, I will not keep one in my house. Me signing up for a marathon has nothing to do with me losing weight or weight loss or anything with Weight Watchers. It is about me conquering a fear and taking on a challenge and changing me from the inside and I am sure I will see some change on the outside.

I want to see not only my mental emotions but physical. Right now in my life everything is great. I have energy and I sleep pretty well. I take a B12 vitamin every day along with a Multi Vitamin and a Green Tea Complex vitamin too, to help boost my metabolism. I know I have a bit of a thyroid issue, I am going to the doctors in two weeks to check back with that. I know the medicine will help me have more energy also, I think that is what I fear most, is enough energy.

I am happy and excited and ready to just have a routine every day.

This is me, real and raw, ready for anything and everything that is paved ahead of me!

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
