Saturday Weigh In, Eating Habits & Ankle Update

Good Saturday Morning!!!

Okay, so I have been absent on here for a couple of days, due to getting caught up with my days off, nursing my ankle and a bunch of other crazy talk BUT I am here today with a weigh in update.

So, I changed from going to meetings to Online with Weight Watchers because it is cheaper as I had stated before. I got the scale and I weigh myself every other day. And like I stated I weigh myself now on Saturdays, which I am kind of liking.

So this morning after my morning pee. Come on, I know you do it too. Every little bit helps!


So stinking happy with that result. Last Saturday, I weighed 171.6, now 168.2. I am really starting to feel great too. I don't feel as bloated and finally seeing some head way. I have 3 more weeks to get to the Diet Bet goal too. I really want to be in the 150's by June when I go on vacation to see my family at the lake house. I would be happy with 159. The last end of marathon training is really where this weight came on, for sure.

Now that I am not running, I really have to be careful with what I eat and this week, I really have been that way. I have been eating pretty damn well if I do say so myself.

Here is a look into some of my meals this week, some are breakfast, lunch and snack...


Sara Lee 45 calorie bread, 2 Hard Boiled and Peeled Eggs with 2 mandarin oranges- Breakfast


Snack- Goldfish Puffs, 1 Mandarin Oranges, 1 Hard Boiled and Peeled Egg and 1 Light String Cheese Stick.


English Muffin Banana Bread, Vanilla Cupcake Whips Greek Yogurt, 1 Hard Boiled and Peeled Egg, 2 Mandarin Orange


Do yourself a favor and top the yogurt on your English Muffin! Game Changer!!


Mini Cucumber sandwiches, Spicy Red Pepper Hummus with Shaved Turkey Breast- Amazing By the Way

I am a creature of habit. I love when I like something and I tend to stick with it for awhile! Haha. It is amazing how much your mind changes and your habits change when you decide to make a big change. I never would have eaten like this before, but now I crave it and it is pretty darn amazing.

I have also been drinking water a ton lately too and tracking it, trying to hit that 120 ounces per day.

Oh, also I actually went and did some walking yesterday too. The doctor said I can do some light walking on the treadmill for about 15 minutes. I am very happy about this. I plan to do it every other day. Yesterday though I went to the Health and Fitness Expo for the Gasparilla Distance Classic. I was suppose to run the 8k on Sunday but because of the accident and the doctor saying I can not run for another 2 weeks, I will not be attending, But I still wanted to go to the Expo because it is so much fun.

I did A LOT of walking yesterday at the Expo and before the Expo. There were stairs also. While I felt pretty good being up and moving, my ankle was a bit sore, especially this morning. I bought an ankle brace for work and to do some working.

Tomorrow I am off and plan on doing just the treadmill and the relaxing all day with some laundry thrown in.

Hope everyone has 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

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

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
