Last Day of June!!!

Can you believe that today is June 30th????

Literally half the year is over!!

Where has it all gone? So many awesome and fun and even magical things have happened in 6 months and I seriously can not wait to see what the next 6 have in store for me!!

Like in 104 days, I will be running a freaking marathon!! I am going to be apart of the 1%!!!



It hit me today while I was going on my walk, in 104 days, I mean we are almost to double digits. I have been on this journey for 71 days now. And I LOVE IT. I love the plan and the training, I hate the heat, but I love the satisfaction. I love when I am dead tired, sweaty and just on the brink of insanity. Maybe I am crazy, but I love all this craziness. I just cant believe for 71 days, I have not given up, back down, made excuses or really complained. I know these past 71 days haven't been a walk in the park, well literally sometimes it is, but I know these next 104 are really going to test my limits and I am ready to go. I am in this to finish and get to that finish line.

So for day 71, I went for my typical 40 minute walk and while walking, nature, life and all its beauty showed itself to me...


It was beautiful and even took my breath away a bit. It was huge and seemed to cover the whole sky. It hadn't rained, it seemed like it was going too, but in the distance. I walked the whole way just taking in the beauty of something so simple and elegant. I loved it. And this is why I work out, outside, you can't witness this beauty from the treadmill or inside a gym, get out and experience it. Sure it was blazing hot, but I got a good sweat on and felt great afterwords. So good, I was able to clean my whole apartment! Bonus, extra Activity Points.

Now a sweaty and tired mess I am, I am showering, eating dinner and then preparing myself for my day tomorrow. Hope everyone had a great June and hello to July.

P.s. My most favorite 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. 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...
