Not exactly how I wanted the first week to be...

Good Friday Morning Everyone!!!

I hope everyone is having a nice week. The first official week to the new year!!!

Mine on the other hand has not been so great. A sickness or sinus or something has taken over my life this week. Between the glorious Aunt Flo visiting from out of town and then Wednesday with the restart to the day, to the last two days I have had the worst sinus pressure and infection.

I mean I can not catch a break. On Wednesday I did get a great 3.1 mile run in around our neighborhood. I went back to sleep in the morning and then put on my big girl panties and went for a run. It was a gorgeous day and it felt really nice to get the run in. Then I spent a few minutes in our little home gym, lifting some weights.

Yesterday and today though not that great. I woke up with such a sinus problem. Which I know has a lot to do with the change of weather here in Florida. I know, I know, 40 degrees isn't bad at all, compared to a lot of my friends who live in the teens and lower this time of year, but for this Florida girl, it is cold and it plays a huge part of my sinus.

Luckily, I have had to close at work each day, so sleeping in a bit has been nice and taking some sinus medicine has been helping. Hoping one more dose and then I will be good to go.

So my big, go big or go home jump start to the new year week, has taken a little back. BUT despite not running or working out as much, food wise has been okay. I actually stuck to just 26 points yesterday and I have been drinking water like CRAZY. So there is that.

Sunday, I plan a nice long run downtown and getting through lots of errands, I have pushed off from being sick.

How has your first week of the New Year been????

    I hope you had a great run this morning! You know how my week's gone... Still dealing with knee pain. But, it is much less today, thankfully. Can't wait to get back out there again.

      Yay I am glad the pain isn't as bad today. Well my "long" run downtown didn't happen, I never set an alarm and my body just kind of slept in. Heading out soon to get some miles in, I am loving this running as just a form of exercise rather than training because then I don't feel so guilty. But also sleeping in on a Sunday has its perks!!

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...
