Weekly Weigh In: Stayed the Same

So I am a day late and a dollar short.

Yesterday normally is my weigh in and WW meeting day, but because I am without a car for God knows how long, I had to miss it yesterday. I had full intentions of going too. I was going to walk to the meeting and then walk home afterwords. I brought my clothes, packed really light for work, I normally bring like 3 bags and I condensed down to a back pack, big deal for me. But Mother Nature had another idea for me and it was pouring raining when I got out of work, so walking was not in my cards.

I took the bus home and then just vegged out. I had the whole house to myself, my DVR, magazines and just some peace and quite. I munched on some carrots and hummus, almonds and apples. I looked at some of workout gear and then looked away. My body just wanted to chill out, relax and take in the rainy night. So I did just that. I didn't worry about weighing in, or running or anything and just kind of chilled out. Plus after running 13 miles on Sunday, I usually take two days off to get my body right again. AND because I am starting marathon training soon, I am going to take things a little slow for two weeks.

Today, I was suppose to have a travel day for work, but because I am without my travel vehicle. I took a well deserved PTO day and it has been perfect. I actually slept in past 8:00 a.m., James and I got up and went an cashed in our huge coin jar. We made 134 dollars! Then I went to WW to weigh in and I stayed the same!!!

WOOHOO!!

I have to tell you that is a huge deal because anytime I run a long distance, especially a half, I always seem to gain when I weigh in. So to see no gain and stay the same, it was a huge relief. I treated myself to buying two new 3pp bars they had. Jay and I went out breakfast afterwords. We went to First Watch Daytime Cafe. It was AMAZING!!!

Huge portions and very fresh. We gobbled up and then went to Plato's Closet to sell some of his clothes, he is downsizing. THANK GOD! I have been trying to get him to do that for years now, the man has way too many clothing items. Then we used the money we got from the coin jar and selling and went to Target and got a lot of essentials we have been wanting, like a rice cooker, some wine and beer ( not an essential at all ;0) paper products and of course some clearance items I found.

We got home and cleaned up a bit and then I went for a 3 mile walk which felt really good. I wanted to run, but I know it is good for me to just take it easy for the time being. The weather is really nice today and it was good to just walk. I took in a lot of our area, I normally don't get to explore because I am so set with where my mileage ends and begins.

So all in all nothing new and exciting in this land.

Hope everyone is having fantastic 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
