Coffee Talk Rambles

I have been all over the place this week. It has just been a long week. I know my days and week will continue to stay this long because of Christmas coming up, but at least with Christmas, I am not traveling also. I am just in my store, selling and staying late and going in early.

This just sort of rocked my world. BUT I do have to say I learned a ton from it. I eventually in my career, would love to be a DM. And well being a DM, you visit all your stores, and have a lot of drive time, making your days long. So even though it kind of sucked, working those 10 hour days, it solidified it is something I would enjoy doing. Because when I am traveling and visiting store and infecting them with my knowledge and I am told I am doing it right and making a difference, well that makes it all worth it to me.

So Wednesday and yesterday were long days. I woke up Wednesday kind of beat, I had to close, so I had to leave kind of early and get home late. I opted to sleep in a bit because of that, instead of running. I know I have not ran since Saturday!!!!! That is crazy, every day I have thought about it, but my body was just not there. I have gave it a pounding, even after the marathon. I just haven't fully recovered, but this week with the long hours and Sunday on my feet all day, kind of set it back a bit.

But I know I am getting back to it. Today is my day off and my day off with James. Believe me I took advantage of sleeping in, I will not have days like that anymore. I have a conference call in a little bit and then I will be lazy for about an hour. Then we are heading to lunch with his family to celebrate his birthday which was yesterday, then we are running some errands. I will get my run in tonight. Even if it is 3 miles. I plan on running all weekend.

On Sunday, I will get up early and head downtown to my favorite place to run. Like I said, I will use one of my days off to sleep in and run at night and one to wake up early and get it done! It's funny too, I texted Nanci to tell her how bad, I have been doing with my running lately, as she is heading out this Sunday to tackle 20 miles. 

And she simply stated, do what you can do, when you can!

A light bulb went off! Yes!! I don't know why I stress or freak out, it isn't like I am giving up. I have been great with my points this week, except for yesterday for his birthday, which I already pre-planned that to be. But having a friend, support me and kick me in the pants with that and make me feel better about it, it worked.

I am very excited for her to be taking on 20 miles. I am even jealous. lol. I know crazy right, that I want to run 20 miles. I am sure I could go out there and do it again, but honestly not now, I don't want that mileage. I am happy with my 4-5 as my long now. But we shall see. I know she will do amazing and then she tapers. Which is even more exciting because it is getting close.

And then my boss and dear friend, is doing marathon training also. Her's is in January. I am surrounded by some kick ass ladies, let me tell you.

Okay, so I will stop rambling now. Darn coffee.

I know its a long weekend for lots of people, hope you enjoy it!!!

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...
