Week 2 of Tapering Begins

Sunday Runday was today.

I set my alarm for 4:00 this morning and surprisingly got up with no hurt, pain or argument in my head. Probably because I knew I was meeting Nanci and Corinna for the mileage. These early mornings are really hard to tackle these mornings. I can not wait for the weather to break so I can sleep in a bit and it still be cool enough to just run whenever before breakfast. Plus shorter mileage is a bit appealing too.

We headed out around 5:30 to start our run. They were doing 13 miles and I only had to do 7. So I ran with them until 3.5 and then turned around and waited for them to finish at the end. I love running the Clearwater bridges, even though it kills me at times. I do love the challenge of those 4 bridges, even if I am cursing it the whole time. And the humidity was so crappy again this morning.

While I waited for the ladies, Caitlyn came down and waited with me and we caught up on life and got to know each other a bit more. Caitlyn just like Nanci are one of my biggest inspirations and anytime I can pick their brains and get to know them better, I am all game. These ladies are so motivating and inspiring, I am grateful to have met them and become friends with them. Surround yourself with people who push and drive you, it makes you a better person. Once everyone got back we went to Starbucks for some much needed coffee and breakfast. I was starving this morning, even though I had some toast and PB before. I didn't bring any fuel, GU or energy chews with me, my fail. I could have used it for sure.

I hung around and enjoyed my coffee and conversation and then had to head back home to go grocery shopping with James. We are stocked for our week and half home. The rest of my day will be napping, of course, reading and football.

Week Two of Tapering has begun. 15 miles on deck this week and hard to believe I just got through half of it just today.

13 days!!!

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.

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...
