Day 12: Brought to you by the letters P-M-S & A Giveaway Win for ME!!


This run was a really, really tough one. I had a hard night last night, even though I slept pretty good, I was super fatigued when I got up and just didn't feel great. All because and brought to me by P-M-S! Uggh, I hate being a woman sometimes, seriously. I wanted to rip out my Uterus as I was running down the street. It was really bad and it was hot. I went out at 9:30 a.m. and I just wasn't prepared at all for it. I should have brought water and drank a lot before hand. 

On these small runs, I have been doing 6:1's but today I had to take it down to 4:1's. I remembered from the book, Jeff Galloway, he said to bring it down a lot when it is over 60 degrees. I listened to my mind and body and did just that. I went to 4:1's and if it weren't for my wicked cramps, I probably would have done much better. But I got the mileage done, I was hoping for 4, but hey this is better than me just calling quits.

After my run, I couldn't wait to get in the shower and drink water. On my run, I was actually seeing it in mind, that's how bad I wanted it lol. I took a great shower and then enjoyed my morning. I have to close tonight, so I get to just unwind a bit before heading into the madness.

And Great News: I am a winner!!!!

I entered into LiveSweatSleep's giveaway for a pair of entry tickets to Color Me Rad 5k. I ran it last year with my work BFF, Jen and we had a good time. It was hot, but we had a fun time and it was quite an experience. So I am so excited that I won it and can get it for free this year and Jen is going to do it with me again. I really want to go all out with this year, since now we know what to expect. Cant wait to talk about it later on. The event is on May 24, and your swag is pretty great too. Awesome sunglasses, a t-shirt and a color bomb to go along with it. I am super excited and this made my day way better!!!

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
