Best Way to Start My Day

Good Tuesday Morning!!!

I am bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning. Let's just say I had an ahhhmmazing run this morning. Just 3 miles, but man I was in the groove. Everything was working great. My legs felt awesome, even from the 17 miles on Sunday. I was up before my alarm even went off and no hesitation to get out the door.

Why can't all mornings be like this??

I started running right before 6:00 am. My whole neighborhood was dark and quite. I brought along by red flashing strobe light to help light my way, but also to alert cars. People fear me around here when I am running down the street, too many close calls.

I left my GymBoss home and was just going to go out and run as is. Just see how my body is and go from there. I ended up running the whole first mile just at a nice pace, I honestly felt like I was a speed demon. It felt great, but I wasn't panting. I tried for my Magic Mile and it happened at 10:54!! I haven't seen that number with me running by myself in a very long time. It was a nice confidence booster. I then walked and then walked each .60 of each mile. It was 100% humidity, blah, blah, blah. We all know it is hot and humid here, I can not wait until October in PA!

I just felt so awesome this morning. I was doubting my training a bit yesterday. Questioning if I was doing enough, going farther enough, running enough. Eating right, sleeping well, etc. I guess I had a little mini freak out in my head. And then this morning, when I ran just like training said, it made it all make sense. My world was right again and doubts were pushed aside. Because this is my journey to 26.2 and no one else's. I need to stop reading a 1,000 other training plans, mine is working for me and it will get me across that finish line. I have proven that thus far.

I hope everyone has a great morning and day and started it off with a positive note like I have!!

Happy Tuesday

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...
