Journey to 26.2: Day 65&66- Last days on the lake

Back in action! 

Well for the most part...today we are having a couple of more hours on the lake then back to Virginia for the night and tomorrow night I fly back to Florida. 

Yesterday we spent the day on the boat all day long. In the sun and water was just what I needed and wanted. I got a great tan from it also. Also yesterday since I did 11 miles, my body was hurting. Not so much because of the miles but because of the hills. Those hills killed me, I felt it in my legs, arms and hips.

I did a 3 mile walk on the same path to shake it out and of course stay on plan. It worked, I felt better. Today, I ran 3.38 miles and again those hills were killer. I'm sure if I lived here, I would get better and stronger with it. I stayed with 2:30/30 and it was great, sometimes on the hills I did 2:1's. 

Either way I took my time and listened. I am really proud of my success with staying on plan while in different areas. I ran the Friday-Saturday and then Monday-today running and walking. No excuses, just did it because I knew if I didn't, I won't get stronger and better.

Today is typically or has been my weigh in day but because I'm away, I won't be. I'm glad because I feel like a balloon, Aunt Flo came to town and between that and being with family, my snacking as been crazy and I can feel it! So today, it's a clean slate, new points and back at it. 

While I LOVE being on vacation, I'm ready to be home, back in my bed, with my routine and my food choices. I did well, but not great, I had wine, beer, margaritas, pizza, grilling food, chips, brownies, oh my! Mixed nuts, regular food, while I ran and worked out, some things will take longer to get going. 

But I enjoyed every bit and sip because it was spent with family and I haven't seen them in close to 2 years. I will work harder, eat right and drink water to get it back to normal!

Hope everyone is having a happy mid week! 

Here is my training while on the lake..

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...
