Journey to 26.2 Day 36: Lost In My Own World

This will be short and sweet because it has been such a long day, lots of standing, lots of movement and I am stuffed from the dinner I just indulged in. Yes, indulged, I even shared a dessert!!

Today was planned for 4 miles. I got maybe 4 hours of sleep last night, my boyfriend snores horribly, so I had to go on the couch to sleep and before I knew it it was 6:00 am and my alarm was going off for my run. As much as I dragged my feet, I looked at my marathon training and knew I had to get it done, plus it was going to rain tonight and I am not making any excuses.

I went out on my regular routine, but instead of doing a big loop, I figured once I hit 2 miles I would just turn around and go back to get the 4 in, switch it up a bit. Well, I was so much into the groove of my miles before I realized it I had ran 7 streets past the street I was suppose to turn left on. I was so caught up in my run and surrounding area, I missed it completely. I turned down the street laughing at how crazy I can be and my run ended up being 5 miles, which is still just as great. I completed the 5 miles in 58 minutes and then raced to get ready for work, we had a bridal show to work today.

While running my heel did not hurt at all, it did hurt a bit after the run. I rolled it out a bit and then wore shoes with a bit of a heel for the day and it hurt on and off but not too bad. My boss, who also runs and has planters fascists, told me that is what it could be, but gave me some great tips to make it better, since she is in the same boat. Also a friend from Instagram last night, who also suffers from it, gave me some awesome tips on inserts, which I will be seeking out this week for. This is why I love social media at times, people I hardly know becoming friends and giving me great advice, thank you Quiana!!!

After being on my feet all day at a Bridal Show, James and I went to eat at the Mellow Mushroom, which my friend Jacke, raved about. It was delicious and hit the spot. We got a side salad and some pizza, I had only two slices, which is a big win for me, because I can go to town on some pizza. We each had a soft pretzel as an appetizer and split a cookie for dessert. It is all about sharing. Way too many carbs then I probably should have, but once a month, I think I can manage and switch it up, it is not like I eat like this every day for sure.

Now some water and an early bedtime for me. Hope everyone had a nice Sunday and ready to take on this first week of June, I know I am ready to take on a new month!!

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...
