The Day After...

Yup today I feel like I was hit by a big ol' truck!!

I laid around all day yesterday but by body was very restless. I went to bed and got a good amount of sleep BUT once I woke up I was done for. I was sore, not too bad though, the Stick helped so much! BUT I do need to roll more, I'm so bad at that.

And my energy was shot. I ate a lot of protein yesterday but I still woke up today just out of it. I mean completely out of it. I needed  more rest. I had to open the store so I asked my assistant if she could come in early and cover my shift. She did and got to leave almost 2 hours earlier.

The minute I got home I went to sleep. Just a full on nap. And I have slept for 2.5 hours and had crazy, crazy dreams. Dreams about the marathon too. Not being fully prepared, people being there, etc. Very weird. I do feel a bit better. 

I think for my long runs the day after is a must recovery/ rest day for me. And either take the day off or go in much later. I need to lay around, my body really needed it. But with that being said I feel good, so accomplished beyond words. It is quite a feeling.

I figured since I posted what I ate after 17, I would do the same for 20. Believe it or not the hunger not all the same. And I'm never really hungry until today.

So after my run when I got home and started to relax I had a big cup of coffee and water and


Egg whites scrambled with reduced fat cheese, peppers and two turkey sausage links with two pieces of Sara Lee 45 calorie bread with Laughing Cow on top

Also


Some strawberries and blueberries, banana and grapes mixed with 90 calorie vanilla greek yogurt.

Then I napped..

After a nap I ate


Perdue chicken pieces with long grain rice, black beans, lettuce, guacamole, and salsa. With again..

 
So good! This time instead of a banana I need a sprinkle of coconut. Holy yum!!!

Then 2 hours later I had a cookie dough quest bar.

I forgot to take a picture of dinner but it was a lean pork chop, sweet potato, 1/2 cup of fat free cottage cheese and brocoli.

We finished the sopranos, holy sad that we are done with it. I'm heart broken with that ending and really truly loved that show.

I snacked on some popcorn and a small box of yogurt raisins.

Then before bed I had a bowl of 


After all my long runs at night I always seem to want cereal. It is so weird. But it hits the spot of me, I mean like right on. 

I think I did pretty well. I tried as much protein and good carbs as I could. Believe me I wanted a margarita and a burger and fries, but I know it would make me sick! And I'm saving my nice cheat, victory meal until the big day!!

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...
