Friday Five: What I Love About This Weekend

Good Friday Morning!

It is a nice Friday morning over here, still hot, but this morning the humidity felt a little low. Maybe I am just going insane, but I could actually breathe this morning running.

Yesterday, I nominated the day to be a rest day for me. While I really wish it was an all out, true, lay around all day long rest day, it was just a rest day from running and working out. I had to work an open to close, which by the way, are not fun by any means, so I figured, I wouldn't put any more pressure on my legs.

I planned on running Thursday and Friday and then rest day Saturday, but you know you gotta role with the punches. I am glad I did, because at work, I am on my feet all day long, and my legs have taken quite a beating already this week.

Today, I have a travel day for work, which is quite nice, so I got up at 6 and got 5 miles in. It was nice to just run around my neighborhood for more than 3 miles and I saw a lot of other people out running too, which is quite rare.

I see a lot of people do Friday Fives and I thought I would give it a shot, the theme from what I understand is  Five Things I Love About this weekend. I work today and tomorrow, but still you can find happiness around that.

Oh and make sure you check out Nanci's, Eat, Pray, Run, DC & Mar On The Run  Friday Five.

Okay so here it goes...

1. Catching Up On My DVR
Yes, I know TV, is a guilty pleasure of mine. But I am a religious followers of some shows, and I seriously can not find the time to just sit down and catch up on them. I am excited after work today, I have nothing going on, so before dinner, I can veg out for awhile and zone in.

2. Free Panties at V.S.
I have some free coupons to use at Victoria Secret's that I can use this weekend. I love anything and everything free and I plan on taking advantage of them today.

3. No Closing Shifts
After my 12 hour day yesterday, I am glad that I don't have to close today or tomorrow. I don't mind closing but sometimes man it weighs you down. I love that I can get out at 5 and have the whole night to myself.

 4. Chipotle!!!!
James is picking up dinner tonight on his way home for work. We really only eat out once or twice a week. We have cut back a lot. But Friday's, I love to not have anything to cook and I woke up this morning really craving Chipotle. Luckily, he loves it too. Holy Yum, Burrito Bowl!! I will be thinking of this all day.

5. Sunday Runday Funday
I look forward to all my long runs, but I look forward to this one even more because I get to meet up with Nanci and her friend and we are doing 11 miles. I am grateful to have met Nanci and be able to train with her, even though our marathon's are a month apart. It is a beautiful change of pace, being able to talk, laugh and just run with other people, is so needed. And we are doing the bridges, which well I need to work on some hill work, so it is beyond a win win!!

Have a Happy Friday!!

What's the Five Things You are Most Excited for this Weekend??

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...
