A Little Week and Weekend Update

Things around my world have just been pretty simple. Last week was a rough week for me, mentally and physically. I felt great going into the week and then Wednesday just did it in for me. I had a stressful day at work and then I just was off and out of it. Aunt Flo came to visit, so I know that had a lot to do with it and I was super snacky at times. So I was so happy to begin this week.

Thursday  night we met up with some friends on the beach..


The best part of this outfit was the look James gave me. He told me he loved the outfit and thought I looked fantastic. I got the blazer from Pink Slate Boutique, which is by far my favorite online store to shop from.


This boy really gets me and makes me crack up. This is what I get when I try to take a picture. We met up with some friends from college who were staying on the beach, no beach pictures it was a cloudy night haha.

Friday night I had to close at work so it was a pretty chill night for me. I made dinner and was in bed quite early.

Yesterday I had a decent day at work and then went to Publix for grocery shopping. Which despite paying all the money, I love to grocery shop. James told me he was bringing home dinner, which turned to not be so, and I got in a really bad stage of Hangry! It was horrible, but we finally ordered some pizza, not the best idea, but I wanted it and so did he, it was so worth it.

This morning I woke up with a clear mind and a pep in my step ready to take on the new week and day. I am turning 30 in 3 months and I want look my very best. I mean the best I can be!!! So I turned on a new mind frame today. No more making excuses or saying I am tired or my ankle hurts. Yes there will be times when that does happen but a day of rest should be just fine. I am going to use our gym and run when I can during the week.

I signed up for the Iron Girl 5k, which is April 12th. I love this race and just couldn't fathom the idea of not being there, even if I have to walk or crawl to get to the finish. So I have set my goal and I am going to reach it by July 18th.

That means cleaning up my eating and cleaning up my work outs. I will be documenting it too, not all the boring parts but the small things and see how it will all turn out by my birthday. I just want to bring on the new decade of my life, better than ever.


So saying goodbye to that arm jiggle and my sad excuse for a flex break. I did 25 minutes with the elliptical and an arm work out from Skinny Meg. I murdered my arms and it felt so good. It is progress not perfection. I will amp it up as the days go on, but doing it to make me happy and see progress is what I am all about.

My lunch today was on point too...


I was full and satisfied. Half of a large sweet potato, greek yogurt some strawberries and cashews! 6pp for all of it.

Then I met up with my friend Jacke, whom I have not see in forever, I mean since Thanksgiving and we went for a run. She is getting back into running too from an injury, but the best part was just getting back together and talking about life. She is finishing up nursing school and doing Weight Watchers. I am so proud of her because her life is so crazy and hetic, but she is doing awesome!!!


I am closing out this great Sunday with some turkey burgers and a nice of relaxation with my Bubba.

Hope you had a great Sunday too!!

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...
