A Long Monday and 60 Day Countdown

Happy Tuesday Morning...

Yesterday was a bit of a world wind day for me. After working all day and being exhausted on Sunday, I planned yesterday morning to get up at 6 and do my XT on the bike before I had to be to work at 8:15. BUT, I was dead tired, it was raining and I just wanted some more sleep.

I am a pure baby like that. I love my sleep and try to get it as much as I truly can. So I skipped the alarm and got a good hour of sleep. I figured since I got out of work at 4:30, I would go meet up with James and his mom for some dinner and then come home and get on the bike. I packed my bag and everything.

They came in to see me at work and literally as I was telling them I would be seeing them in a few hours, the girl who was suppose to work, called off.

Story of my life. So I was left there to do an open to close.

I wasn't prepared for an open to close, meaning no food, no drinks and really uncomfortable shoes. Luckily they were still in the mall, so the best boyfriend that he is, brought me back Subway for dinner.

Even though I worked 13 hours yesterday, I did not want that to hurt me not getting on the bike and getting in my training plan. So I dragged myself to the gym and got an awesome 40 minutes on the bike, which was nice, because I got to sit, I know sad, I hadn't sat all day, and got caught up on Social Media and some of my nook.

Speaking of sad, how horrible is it that Robin Williams died?? Breaks my heart. Now I did not know him personally, like most of us, but it effects us in all ways. He was a great actor, comedian, etc. It really hardens my heart that it is due to suicide. The sadness and desperation people feel and just think that leaving this world is the best way out. I have had a couple of people very, very close to me, die from suicide and it is too hard. I wish his friends and especially family much love and peace in this time.

A LOT of people were taking to Instagram and Twitter and Facebook with this picture...

With the caption, Genie...You're free..

Totally broke my heart and made me realize how many movies I really loved with Robin Williams in them. I completely forgot about Aladdin. And it makes me want to watch a bunch of them now. I hope he is at peace wherever he may be.

Today, was my typical 3 miles. It was not dare I say too hot out this morning. It was enjoyable a bit, I took it a bit slower because of the last few days, my legs have been a bit overworked and with 20 miles on deck on Sunday, I do not want anything to mess that up. I am off today, and it is James's moms last day in town, so I am going to spend the afternoon and night with them.

I am going to weigh in today because I know we are going somewhere yummy for lunch and I want to enjoy the last day she has here with us.

I of course will post later on the weigh in, fingers crossed I have some movement in the right direction.

OH and one more thing....


60 DAYS FOR TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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...
