Just One Of Those Days...

I woke up today, just not feeling it. Sure, I wake up tired a lot, I mean it has been an ongoing occurrance for the last couple of months, but today I woke up just not me. I had set my alarm for 5:00 to run 10 miles, I kept waking up every two hours last night, then every 20 minutes, really weird. My mind and body were wired. I got up as if I was going to get ready to run, and I stood up and I just knew I had no energy whats so ever. I mean drained, just not there.

I just fell right back into bed. I knew my 10 miles were not going to happen today and quite possibly nothing happening today. It has been my one day off where I just felt drained and over worked. My throat hurt, my legs were tired, my body ached, I had a headache and I just didn't feel like moving. The idea of doing anything, just kind of made my tired. I do know I am getting my TOM next week and this may have a lot to do with it. But it was strange to me this morning.

I got back into bed and just relaxed, fell back to sleep and it was so nice. But just laying in bed, curled up was all I really wanted. Then I felt guilty, like I should just power through, just do it and move on. Unfortunately this is not the time to do that, this is tapering. Listening to my body when it wants rest, I have worked it over time these past 5 months and it is starting to really talk to me. I do not want to be beat for the marathon, I want to be refreshed, energized and ready to go. It is rare for me to have 3 days in a row of rest, VERY RARE, cant even tell you the last time, have to say back in March before everything. I am just in a funk today and I'm sure it is because I haven't ran since Saturday. Isn't that weird, I am in a funk from running and a funk since I haven't ran.

So today, I have to go to work for 2 hours. Then meeting James for some lunch and Target shopping and a little bit of Froyo. Just a little, I have been craving like WOAH lately. Tomorrow I will do the 10 miles because I don't to have work until 11:30. Hoping to get a nap in and just rest up. I have wanted rest and now that I have it, it is crazy the feelings it brings out. Might get on the bike today and just work some things out.

Have a 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. 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

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

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
