Weekly Weigh In: Last Day of April

Day off as I stated in the post, which meant I was super lazy today. I had my breakfast which was a pretty fantastic smoothie and then a nice sit down lunch I made, but then I ended up taking a nap for 2 hours. I woke up feeling kind of tired and after my run, it all sorted of came at me at once.

I mean I haven't been doing a whole lot lately, but I listened to my body today and just slept and did a little bit of nothing.

I went to WW and weighed in and not sure why but I gained .2. Seriously body!

.2! I could probably pee that .2 out and then it would be gone.

Jesus, weight loss can be so frustrating!!!

I stayed for the meeting and we talked bout Plateaus. I am in one right now, have been for quite sometime, but I am not giving up. I was frustrated for sure with the small and tiny weight gain and in the past I probably would have taken to a jar of salsa and some chips, but I went to Publix and got some groceries.

I came home and made a snack. I am always hungry. I had some chick peas with diced tomatoes and some carrots and hummus and water! I am waiting for James to come for dinner. I really, like really wanted Chipotle, but he wasn't in the mood for it, so I am going to just suck it up and have a Boca burger, some fat free cottage cheese and pickles. For dessert I am making a light version of Strawberry Shortcake.

Tuesdays are my "non" tracking type of day. I know what is coming in and going out of my mouth, but it is my day, I can just live a little, not worry. Tomorrow is back on the horse and you bet I am getting some Chipotle this week lol.

So after feeling just a little down with the weight loss, I went through some old pictures and had a little transformation Tuesday action.


This put me in my place. The girl on the left was taken in 2008. I was wearing all the wrong clothes. I knew I was heavy but I didn't care, I just kept eating bad and eating everything. I didn't understand portions or the right things to eat, but I was never miserable or sad. I was actually really happy, that came a little later on. I am not sure how much I weighed here, my heaviest was 234 and this was probably way over 200. Those clothes did not fit me. When I look at this picture I am a little shamed, I mean my whole stomach is over my pants. But this girl on the right, well she came full circle. The picture on the right was taken today. 75 plus pound difference, but the sparkle I have now is much more than I could ever it imagine it being. I am happy, inside and out. And even though I have been fighting with the scale a lot this month, I do know I have a long way to go and this is a lifestyle. So even though the scale may not be moving at times, but I know I am moving in other ways and I never want to go back to that old girl on the left.

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
