Next stop on the Journey to 26.2, PA!!!

Okay so this post will be short and sweet because James and I are leaving for PA in about an hour!!! WOO HOO!!!!!

We are so freaking excited. I am beyond excited and now it is all starting to feel kind of real, like oh my gosh it is finally happening. I worked yesterday, which turned out to be a great day. And I walked out of the store feeling a 110% better leaving. All my ducks were in a row, dealt with some customer issues we had and I walked out and stress just went off of me.

My staff is pretty amazing and they all wished me good luck and hoped I had a good vacation. I said goodbye to my awesome co-workers and they of course sent me off with some great well wishes. I have been waiting for this moment forever and now it is finally here. I think I will feel even more real when we get to Scranton. Today we fly to Philly and then drive 2 hours to get to Scranton.

Hey, however long it takes I am there. We are both packed and ready to go. I am the worst and over pack like crazy because I never know how I am going to feel or what I really want to wear. Seriously I bring my whole closet. And this one is even worse because the weather is cold and this Florida girl, is not used to that.

So yesterday I ran my second to last training run. Just a quick 3 miles, still warm a bit yesterday morning, but it felt really good. My calf is still a little sore. I noticed a bruise or not, so I am not sure when I was doing that move for the new location, if I banged it and that is what is making it so sore, which would make sense. But all in all,  I am feeling pretty amazing.

I have been uptaking my carbs a bit, a little at a time. The only problem with work these last couple of days, we had been so busy, that I wasn't eating enough. Yesterday I ate hardly anything and felt it when I got home, my energy was shot. I mean lay on the couch and couldn't move. So it is true, food really does fuel you.

I do admit, I am ready after this week of vacation to get back on track. I don't think I will even weigh in when I get back, one because I wont have time and seriously I ran a marathon, who the heck cares right now.

Alright all my sweet, amazing readers, have a happy Thursday. I am sure I will check in later. Oh and if you want to follow along with my awesome marathon weekend journey, follow my Instagram : AngelinaA718

I post so much on there I forget to post here!!

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
