A Slight Win

Oh Tuesday, what a long day it was....

But a short recap of yesterday. After having a great Monday off, I did get some stuff accomplished and still managed to have a nice relaxing day off. I got all our grocery shopping done, did two loads of laundry and took a almost 2 hour nap. Then when I got up, I was a little bit out of it. I wanted to run and not run at the same time. So I switched it up and went to the gym.

I gave myself a fantastic work out. I was dripping sweat and was sore. My legs were wobbly and my arms were shaking. I did 30 minutes on the bike and then 30 minutes of high intensity cardio and some free weights. It felt amazing. I loved switching it up and today when I got out of bed it was hard for me to move my body. I LOVE that sore feeling, it means I am doing something right. Now I am dedicated to taking at least one day out of the week and working it out in the gym.

This morning, I was up super early for work. I am traveling to Sarasota for the next three days and it is almost an hour and half drive. I don't mind the driving all that much, but it makes for some pretty long days because with the 3 hours of driving, I am also working for 8 hours in the store training, selling and being a manager and training a manager. It is a lot of work, but I love my job knowing I am helping grow and make someone apart of our awesome team.

But when I get home, I am pretty beat. Today after work, I went to WW to weigh in. I have changed my weigh in day back to Tuesdays. While, I don't go to the meetings, I was just too darn tired today, I do go to weigh in. I had a slight gain of 1 pound, but I think it had to do with my outfit I had worn and my muscles were super heavy for the work out I gave them yesterday. Oh and last week, I did snack a lot due to my lovely time of the month ending.

So even though with the gain, I am still moving forward. I am really determined to be down at least 10 pounds by the end of the year. I am dedicated and determined, even though I am sure I will have a nice night out with James on his birthday, leading up too and after will be all good. Tonight and today was a win also. I stayed exactly in my 26 points, nothing over. I felt good, but I was hungry. My energy level was low towards the end. I think 30 points might be a good place for me, 4 over a day is just half of the weekly points.

I can make that up in activity too. I am having a love/ hate relationship with Weight Watchers right now. It has been a tough year on the program with all my running and I haven't been able to find a happy medium with it. I know I have gained a few pounds from the beginning of the year in my midsection. My little pooch as I like to say, but I have lots inches and my legs, arms and lower section have changed drastically too me. So you take the good with the bad, but the main thing is, I am not giving up.

I will use WW until the end of the year and like I have said, time to start fresh and something new.

It is going to be a long week for me, and it is already Tuesday and I am very beat. But as I know, I am stronger than I think.

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 ...

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...
