Day 7: Rest Day & Self Love

I am an hour behind. I was taking full advantage of my per training schedule "rest day". To say I was excited about it was an understatement. I set an alarm and then through that idea out the window, I just snuggled under my blankets and just slept in. It was glorious.

It was a rainy day, so I was nice and cozy and enjoyed every moment. Feeling nice and refreshed I started my day with some greek yogurt, some Belvita biscuits and a cup of coffee. I prepped my lunch for work, showered and was ready to take on the work day. I was feeling really good, a bit tired and dragging but my spirit and drive is back this week.

I got a hair cut on Tuesday and boy was it needed. And today proved it...


I was feeling very pretty today. I love when I have days like these and can take a selfie like this. It does something to my insides and boosts my confidence.


Sometimes I don't recognize who I am looking at. I love that feeling. I love at how far I have come.



It may seemed self centered or cocky of me to really appreciate how I look and take pictures of myself, but I haven't always been this way. When I would take pictures, I would have to tilt and angle to get just the right shot because I didn't like how I looked. Now, I can take a picture head on and I love what I see on the other side. 

I believe we should really see the beauty we posses, sometimes I don't always believe it or see it, but today I did and I am savoring in it.

My "rest" day consisted of sleeping in, working 9 hours at work, which was very busy and now watching the Mayweather fight with the Bubbas. 

Up early tomorrow for my morning run!

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.

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 ...

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

Image
First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and...
