Friday the 13th and a much needed Rest Day

Well today did not go as planned or per plan.

I woke up with no energy and absolutely no desire to go to the gym or put on my running shoes, I just wanted to sleep in and lay around for as long as I could until work. I figured I would work out after work rather than before.

Just when I was starting to feel guilty about that and I was forcing myself, the sky opened up and buckets of rain poured down.

I took it as a sign and went back to bed for a bit.

I mean everything in me did not want to work out, as much as I tried to convince myself, I just could not do it.

I went to work and even went to Starbucks to get another cup or coffee and I was craving a diet Dr. Pepper, I think I want sodium.

Just as I was leaving work, the sky opened yet again, it did it all day long, welcome to summer in Florida. I was feeling just blah and tired and all I wanted to do was curl up on the couch in my sweats and just lay down all night. James picked up Pei Wei, which I was very grateful for and I am doing just that.

While tomorrow is suppose to be my rest day, I traded it for today. My body was screaming to me, just rest, get it while you can, so I am doing just that. Tomorrow morning I am going to either go for a run or the gym, depending on the weather. I am hoping for a run, but the weather has been so off.

I used to just take rest days to take rest days, but now I really, really know what they mean and how important they really are. Between work, working out and life in general, I am getting a little bit beat, so a cozy night is just what the running doctor ordered.

Back to it tomorrow

Happy Friday the 13th!!

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...
