Journey to 26.2, Week 7 ending

Week 7 is now done.

I got up this morning, which normally Saturday's are my rest day and went to the gym. I got 6 miles in on the bike, 30 minutes and then a quick 5 minutes with weights. Not much, but it is something, I am still doing something. Believe me, I wanted to use today as a second rest day, but I know I cant, I have to keep going. Next week is going to be a little different too because I am starting my vacation and going to see family in another state, I am super excited about that one for sure!!

Now I am taking a couple of minutes before I have to start getting ready for a long day at work. Its the day before Father's Day, which of course will be busy...but I also just had 2 people call off, so I am going to be in overdrive mode today and I just might enjoy a tall glass of wine when I get home tonight.

My emotions have been in check this week, normally I am not all that great this week because I don't have my dad to celebrate with. I mean he would have been 1300 miles away anyway, but I always made sure to call him and well I just cant anymore.

I am going to go and run tomorrow where I spread his ashes, so I can feel him around me. Its hard at work engraving all these dad messages, over and over and putting on a happy face to get through it, when in reality it is a huge slap in the face and I hate it!

But you have to grow up, move on and face reality. But I think I need just a good old cry or something, ever have one of those days. Maybe I will try to find a sappy romance on tonight haha.

Anyway, pushing forward with today and the rest of the week. Hope everyone has a great Saturday.

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 ...

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...
