Day 4 of Run Streak: Sunday Runday & SkinnySnowman Challenge with Bab Not On A Diet

Happy Sunday!!

Can we first reflect on that today is the last day of November???

Where the heck did the year go? We have only 31 more days of the year. 2014 has been a great one for me, I mean like really awesome and despite the craziness the next 31 days will be for me, I am going to go out with a bang.

First lets say today has been a pretty fantastic Sunday so far. I am off of work, which having Sunday's off always seem to be so great. I had originally set my alarm for 6:30 and was going to go downtown and run, but well my bed was so comfy and I wanted more sleep, so I turned off the alarm and just let my body wake me up.

Which happened to be 9:05. Super nice to just sleep in and not feel guilty about running later. I quickly got dressed and headed downtown to run along the water.


It was an amazing morning. The weather was perfect and the views of the water were beyond words. Seriously running downtown is my favorite thing to do in the whole world. It is my Church moment. I was really trying to get my 5 miles under an hour again, I came so close. I am still having some pain in my calf, it is still really tight and I forgot to use the KT tape but it felt great to get a longish run in again. It was weird not doing the Jeff Galloway method and just running and walking when I wanted, but it was nice to just go.

After the run, I just stayed and took in the sunshine. It felt great to see people out being active and made me love Florida even more. November 30th and people are on the beach, in the water, playing volleyball, walking their dogs, just being active and happy. You can just tell. This run was just what I needed today and to end the month of November and start the week.

I, after went to Starbucks to get my daily dose of caffine and then to Walmart to pick up a few things. I finally found out how I am going to hold all my medals from the races and got the Cashew Milk, will be posting that soon.

But the best part of today is my dear Friend Nanci completed her first full marathon. She did amazing!!! She completed and completed under 6 hours. She is such an inspiration to me and a positive light in my life. I am so excited for her and happy for her accomplishment. We are now marathoners forever together!! Congrats Nanci!!

Today, also started the Skinny Snowman Challenge with Bab Not on a Diet! It is 5 week challenge where you can win prizes and goodies, but mainly it is to hold you accountable through the holidays, which I so need. So with the Runners World Run Streak and this Challenge, I am really hoping to close out this year in a good and positive light and feeling the very best.

And I will leave on this note...

Each day of the Challenge is you have to write or find 5 positives of the day...

Here are mine..

Have a great day!!!

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...
