Upper Body Cardio and Cooking

Happy Hump Day!!!!!

Things over here in one ankle land are doing quite fine. Actually today is the first day I haven't hurt all that much. I can actually walk around without the boot and there is no pain. Please fingers crossed tomorrow when I go to the Doctors, he says I am good to go and I just need an air cast of some sort.

I have been using this Upper Body Cardio Work out from YouTube this week too...


It is wonderful!!! My arms feel like jell-o and my shoulders are on fire. I can do it sitting down and it feels amazing. I am asking the Doctor tomorrow a million questions on my running and walking too. I am guessing I am going to go back to the Galloway method to get my stride back and start from the beginning.

I think I have re-evaluate some goals this year too. Such as 1000 miles in 2015. I am sure I can make these miles up I have missed but not much, but we shall see. Also Gasparilla is hanging over my head too. I really want to do the 8k, I mean I REALLY want too, but I am still up in the air. I am going to ask the doctor and see his advice and with how my ankle is healing.

These last couple of days I have been getting a ton of rest. Sleeping in late, no alarm, taking naps and staying up late. I miss my routine, and I have been consumed with 30 Rock on Netflix! Another show I never watched while it was on air and really should have. This show is hysterical. I am saddened to say yesterday, I watched a whole season in one day. It felt really good to just be relaxed, maybe this was what my body needed all along, but today, today I need to read some of a book and get out for a bit.

Since I have been broken, James and I have been eating in every night during the week. And because I am on my compute most of the day, I have been able to look up some great recipes. I highly recommend Emily Bites. She is amazing!!! She makes feel food, comfort food, casseroles, unique takes on old items and makes them into low points for Weight Watchers.

Her tag line comfort food made simple. I have been dying to try a lot of her stuff but make excuses that it is too much work, etc. But this week since I have been able to get up and move, I put her stuff to the test.

First I made her Bubble Up Enchilada Casserole...



It was soo good and James was very impressed. He couldn't stop eating it. And he kept saying I need to twist my ankle more often to get meals like this lol.

Then we tried her Deep Dish Sloppy Joe Casserole...


This was really great too but I didn't use the right pizza crust so it wasn't as deep as it should have been but seriously really delicious.

Make sure to check out her website, she has a lot of great ideas. I am making another one tonight too. Which is right in line with another one of my goals this year was to expand and try new stuff and cook more rather than the same old stuff.

Hope everyone is having a good week!

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...
