My Start of the 20 miles...

You know when you should relax and just cant..

Yeah that is what is going on with me tonight.

I got out of work sort of early today because of the open to close I did on Monday and decided I needed to grocery shopping again. Seriously I love food shopping more than I love clothes shopping. Being able to have healthy food in my house, makes me more excited than anything and well with training, I love to eat.

I am making myself lay on the couch all night. Feet up and relaxed, except for when I have to make my pasta. Which I plan on eating late again like I did last time. It really helped and kept me full before the run.  I have to get up at 3:00 am. I mean seriously who does that and is okay with it. I want to start running by 4:00 am, so I can be done after 8 and before the heat kicks in.

I am hoping to be done with a little over 4 hours. I am not stressing about the mileage, I am just going to run like I did for 17 but with 3 more miles. Then I will have the whole rest of the day tomorrow to just kick back and relax. I have a Nook Book I am planning on diving into and taking a nice long nap. Oh and refueling and recovery.

I have to open on Monday morning and I know I will be sore. So I am going to relax as best as I can tomorrow. My motivation to get through the 20 miles is simple, visioning that finish line. I want to just do it, knowing I can do it. I already did 17, it is only 3 more miles, or 36 more minutes. I can run for 36 more minutes than the last time.

My clothes are laid out, my hydration pack is cleaned, my fuel items are ready to go. I am ready for these 20 miles tomorrow.

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...
