Good Morning November & A Favor

Good Morning!!

Its a beautiful but crisp morning here in Florida. It actually has been all weekend, which I am loving it!!! Finally we can turn off our AC and sleep with the windows open and I seem to sleep even better with that combination. Oh and the extra hour of sleep is helping too.

Saturday after a long work day and an unexpected travel day, I came home and got my run on. It felt amazing, even though I was tired. I got 4 miles in, which has been the longest I have ran since the marathon. My life has been all over the place with work and getting back into the swing of things has been hard, but I think I am doing pretty good. I have to admit before marathon training, and with marathon training, all I did was run anyway, its hard for me to incorporate anything else with it. But I am surely trying this week.

I felt great running on Saturday, but my calf was tightening up again! I am not sure what is going on with it, but I am taking it slow and steady. My work outs this week are Today, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. I am traveling all week for work, so I have to squeeze it when I can. I am off today and feeling just exhausted. I worked yesterday for 15 hours doing our holiday floor set. Yes, HOLIDAY floor set, which means Christmas time. I walked into the mall yesterday and Christmas music was playing!!

And Starbucks has their Red Cups back.

Starbucks holiday drinks in the Red Cups

I am happy to see the Red Cups, but I haven't had a holiday drink just yet. My favorite is Skinny Peppermint Mocha, I think it is still a bit early, but who knows! I also picked up Taylor Swift's new Cd, T.S. 1989 and yes, it is pretty amazing. My BFF, Lea Ann told me to go and get it and well she is right, it is phenomenal. I am not much of a cd person anymore, but I could listen to it over and over.


I am very much obsessed with this song!!

Today, I am off of work, thank goodness and using the day to just relax, get some grocery shopping, laundry done and a nice long nap.

Next post, will be my November Goals

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...
