Steamtown Marathon I've Arrived!!!

We are here!!!!!


We are settled into our hotel and oh man was it a long day of traveling. Everything worked out great, our flight was great, we had breakfast before we flew with James and his dad at a Friday's in the airport. Which by the way, does serve breakfast and it is pretty good.

I got egg whites with sausage and toast and breakfast potatoes. If you follow me on Instagram, you can total drool over it on there. I am too tired to go back and post it, lol. I enjoyed the toast and potatoes very much, carb loading is going to be nice for sure. BUT, I am starting to feel that bloated it kind of feeling, but then I have been drinking a lot more water to offset that as best as I can. It works.

Our flight was good, some bumps, but James and I watched a movie on his tablet. It was so nice to have him with me while we flew. Fun fact, this was the first time we ever flew together. I love traveling with him and while I normally read while I fly, it was nice to snuggle close and watch a movie.

Once we landed in Philly, we went and got our Rent A Car. What an ordeal that was. Holy expensive then what they said online, but we needed it and it worked out in the end. We got a red Ford Focus, which I am so loving right now. I have a 2003 Ford Focus and this is a nice upgrade. We hadn't ate in forever, we did split some protein bars, but not real food. So an hour driving we stopped at a service area and had Roy Rogers.

I was starving, I mean to the point, my energy level was so low. I was also getting to the point of Hangry! And we know that is not a fun state to be in. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, a side salad and some fries that I shared with James. I was starving and before I could even take a picture, I gobbled that bad boy right up.

We finally got to our hotel and went to CVS to get some water and snacks. I total picked up Dark Chocolate Almonds and Pitted Dates, which I will eat with some PB for a nice snack this weekend. The weather is kind of great. It is cold, but wow it feels so nice compared to the 90 degrees. I say that now, we will see after I run.

But I LOVE being able to bundle up in sweat shirts. Now James and I are all settled in to our room and heading to bed quite soon. I say this a lot lately but I cant believe we are here.

It flew by and now it is hitting me. It is really here, I am really doing this. No turning back now.

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
