Running With Bricks, A Big Loss & Excited About Sunday Funday

It is Thursday but yet I feel like it is Saturday. Days off the beginning of the week really mess me all up. This whole week has thrown me for a quite a curve ball, but I am slowly getting back to things, before another week that will throw me off.

I had to open for work today, so I opted to sleep in. I tell ya, on days I work, I hate getting up early to work out and work, but I also hate coming home after work to work out, it is a lose lose for me. But I slept in and then went to Weight Watchers to weigh in.

To my very happy surprise, I lost 3.6 pounds. The week prior I weighed in and had gained 6.8, that was the week of my TOM and my 23 miles. My hormones and everything were crazy and considering the rest of the week, I attended a wedding, had ice cream for a lunch and was home in my hometown and flew, 3.6 was a nice loss. I hope this means I am doing something right. My hunger has been off the charts again lately and I am really trying to pull high protein items. So far so good.

But before typing, I did eat probably an embarassing amount of cracker chips with hummus. SOOOOO GOOD!! I just couldn't stop. But we are having dinner soon, so it will even out and I am so enjoying a glass of SkinnyGirl tonight. It is raining, James wants to play his video games in the bedroom, so I am curling up with a glass and my Nook. I need a night like this.

I ran after work and it hurt. I am not sure if it was the weather, or me, but my legs would not move at all. I was having to walk a little more, I don't know I was just off. But I made the 4 miles, completed the running week with 19, including 12 non-stop hill work and tomorrow I will do some work on the bike. I love the long run weeks and then the short run weeks, that has really been great for me.

I have to say I am super excited for Sunday. I am running 20 miles, I know crazy to say I am excited about that, but Nanci and her crew are coming to St. Pete to run 14 miles of it together. This will be Nanci's longest run ever, I am so excited to be apart of this big milestone with her and to have company for a big majority of my long run.

After my run, James is off on Sunday and we are watching football all day. I am fine with being lazy on the couch and just vegging out. I have a lot of work coming up in the next few weeks, so a day like this, I am all about. Plus I have vowed to him, to be more responsive when it comes to football this year, he loves it a lot and huge Redskins fan, so I am trying to not give him so much hassel about spending all of a Sunday watching it.

So I just want to get through 2 more days and then my Sunday Funday!!!

Hope everyone has something exciting they are looking forward too 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

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
