Celebrating Small Victories

Happy Friday!!!!

While I have to work this weekend, I do have Sunday off, I am totally okay with it, after the awesome days off I just had. Plus, I have a lot planned for my day off on Sunday, such as housework, running, reading and laundry and I am so okay with that because I truly have had a great couple of days.

Today, was a rest day for me, one because I am sore from my awesome work out yesterday and my skin is still on fire from the sun burn. But I am not just laying around, I have our dinner tonight already done. See, James and I both close tonight, so we don't get home from work until 930. I know, crazy to eat that late at night, but it's what we have to do and our bodies are both used to it.

Now, normally we would order Chipotle or something else, quick and easy. Chipotle isn't bad at all, especially how I order mine, but buying food can add up and considering we had two dates in a row, we need to scale back a bit.

Now, here is where my good friend Nanci, posted the other day about celebrating small victories and I was inspired. I think celebrating the small stuff, adds up to the big stuff and me prepping dinner for tonight is small BUT it is big for us, especially on a weekend.

I decided to make our dinner now before I have to go to work, so all we have to do is make our salad and eat up our dinner.

I made mini meat loves, with macaroni and cheese and a steamed veggie. We will pair it with a salad, we can throw together last minute. The meat loves are in muffin cups and it took less than 15 minutes to put together. I will post the recipe tomorrow, I promise. And well the macaroni and cheese is from the box, but hey moderation AND I measured out my serving size.

AND, I had another small victory. Last night at Happy Hour, I ordered only 2 drinks and just munched on 3 pieces of the little pizza we got, it was a true mini size. I didn't order anything else and even though we were eating early, usually I would get home and eat something later on. BUT I kept myself busy, I drank my water, didn't have anything else and had a small bowl of strawberries for dessert!!!

Two small victories back to back. Celebrate those little moments, those little changes and take pride in it. YOU DESERVE TO CELEBRATE THOSE LITTLE MOMENTS!!

And make sure to take a look at Nanci's post on celebrating small victories. She had some really great ones, that I will be using too for the upcoming week!

Have a great weekend!

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
