Gave In To The Treadmill

14 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!


Holy Macaroni and Cheese Balls!!!! 14 days, two weeks until the big day. This time in two week, I will hopefully be falling asleep and getting lots of rest for the big day. To say I am a nervous or excited is an understatement, really right now I am just trying to make it through the days now.

This morning I woke up feeling icky. I had a sinus headache and cramps. So bad, so I figured after work, I was going to run. I had to get 4 miles. I was just praying I would get out at a decent time. We were busy at work today, so busy, I didn't eat anything until 2:30. Seriously! The joys of retail. I gobbled my protein bar down so quickly. I was starving.

I got out on time but of course it was down pouring, thundering and lighting. Yeah not happening for me. Which meant, I had to get my mileage in on the dreadmill. I HATE the treadmill and running. I don't mind walking on it but something about running it, throws me completely off. I hate staring at myself, our T.V. in our gym is on the other side, and we have no Wifi. But I knew I had to get my mileage, despite as how much I didn't want to do it.


To be quite honest, it wasn't that bad. I watched some music videos to pass the time and played around with the speed I had wanted to improve. I was sweating like crazy too. It felt good, but there is such a different pounding, running on that thing then outside. I will always choose outside, but hey what can you do. I figure out of the 5 months of my training, 1 day of running on the treadmill, isn't that bad in odds.

I ended my first tapering week with 18 miles. I probably should have had another 3 or 4 miles mixed in there this week, but what can I do. I did rest a bunch because I wasn't feeling great, which helps because I am starting to feel much better now. And it's crazy, I did 10 miles yesterday and didn't feel a thing. Remember when I would be in such pain. Not so much now.

Tomorrow starts week 2, which is less mileage too and the same set up 3 run days and 4 rest days. I will be on my feet a lot this week because we are moving a store, which will keep my legs nice and moving.

Tomorrow I am also running with Nanci and Corina, which I am excited about. They are doing  13.1 and I only have to do 6. So I am going to hang out and wait and for them to finish and cheer them on :0). And then of course refuel with some coffee. Then another Sunday Funday with James of football and naps!

Have a great 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

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going
