Journey to 26.2 Day 78: Sore and The Sopranos

Happy Monday and back to the routine after a wonderful 3 day weekend off of work.

The beauty is I am off again on Wednesday, so retail does have it's perks even if I work a non traditional type of schedule like most.

I have to admit today was a sore day. My legs were very sore and so was my core. My stomach and sides felt like I did a 1000 crunches. I am not sure if it was because of the fuel belt or my stance with the hills but it was different. My legs were quite sore but I managed after work to get in a 2 mile walk which was called for per training.

Normally this would a rest day for me because I figured I would have too after running that much, but training as me at a walk or XT of 40 minutes. So I did just that. Now, as my long runs increase, I am sure, I will use it as a rest day depending on how I am truly feeling. Its all about listening to my body and how it is responding to the running. And today it wasn't so bad.

Also with yesterday, I was hungry but not as hungry as I normally am, or I just made really good choices that kept me full all day. I earn 30 points alone in activity for running 13 miles and normally I would eat all those 30 back but I decided to eat only half and I was okay with it, I felt fine. I ate a lot of veggie through out the day which definitely helped. That is key and I drank so much water, I am surprised I didn't drown.

I am still learning and finding what works best for me.

And really that's all I got today.

Oh and James and I started watching The Sopranos on HBO GO. I know it is forever old, I have watched a couple of shows here and there but never really got into it. We are always late to the party. But now we are starting it from the beginning and I am already dreaming of the show. I was dreaming last night I was part of it, it is going to make for an interesting nights sleep for 10 seasons lol.

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

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going
