Day 10: Early Morning Run, Weigh In and Cheat Meal

Despite not having the best of sleeps last night, when my alarm went off at 6:15, I didn't fight it or hit snooze, I got up and got ready and made my way out the door ready to run! Well, while I was ready to run, my heart and mind was into it but my stomach not so much.

My stomach was all over the place, but I claimed myself down. Took a couple extra walks, a little mind over matter and made it to 3.1 miles this morning, in plenty of time.



I love that beat red, dripping in sweat feeling. I really, really do! Plus, look how tan I am getting! I must remember sunblock!

I really felt great after my run this morning, I got ready for work with a little extra pep in my step and took on the work day. Unfortunately my mood didn't stay that way long, but I pushed through. Also I must post tomorrow my absolute new favorite drink combo from Starbucks that has gotten me through the afternoons lately.

After work, I got dressed and went to my WW meeting. I of course sported my new shirt from Old Navy. A tad bit big, hoping it will shrink in the wash, but my life motto these days. I like my motto in life from now on, seriously it really is...


Yup Mind over Matter!! 
Not sure what is going on with my hands of leg, but my hair was having a good moment, so you gotta document these things.

My Weight Watchers meeting tonight was great. I even lost 1 pound! Thank goodness, it really was the jump and encouragement I needed to see today, after having a pretty crappy day. James and I decided to eat out tonight, while we normally get Chipotle, we wanted something a little bit different, I was craving different and unique. 

We went to PDQ and I had chicken tenders with fries!


And I ate the whole thing!!!! It was delicious. I cant tell you the last time I got chicken tenders and fries, probably 2 years by now. I wanted it, it looked great, the fries were a little bit too greasy, but I craved it. And I know I needed to have it to get it out of my system. While, I am sure my body wont be thrilled with me with it tomorrow, I didn't hold back. I don't give up on things I love, I just enjoy them in moderation. So because of this meal I wont have another "bad" meal all week.

We did have some frozen yogurt after also. The flavor of the month at Yogurtology was Peanut Butter and Banana. I mean that screams me all over it. So I had my cheat meal, its gone and over with and tomorrow is a brand new day.

Last week, I tracked a whole lot. I snacked here and there, but I made great choices and I worked out for 6 days. So again keeping it the same this week, I believe Aunt Flo is making a visit this week, so I have to make really good choices. I think she was the one who got me on my cheat meal today anyway.

Today, was one of those days, where yes there were some bad parts, the good ones over powered them. And it shows how strong I am already becoming!

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
