Ankle Update and other Randomness

Okay a little Ankle update.

The last time I ran was on Sunday before I left NY. Monday and Tuesday my ankle felt very off. It had a constant type of pain and when I get up to walk I am limping a bit and last night every time I laid on my stomach, I couldn't rest my foot down. I just don't feel like it is getting better. And I am doing everything I am suppose to, to make it better.

So today was another one of my follow ups. And I let the Doctor know how I was feeling. As much as I know it could delay a lot of my working out and such, I had to let him know where it is hurting and where I have to go next. I can not let this get worse, I just cant. So he recommended that I now on to PT. Not sure what to expect or what this will entail. I am hoping it will help and get my ankle and me back to normal very soon. Because honestly this really sucks.

After feeling a little bit off and ready to take on the next chapter of this drama, I went grocery shopping. Cause, seriously nothing makes me happier than having a house full of food I can eat and have on handy for me. Oh and after the day I had yesterday. No Luck of the Irish for me. I started my day getting pulled over for having two ear buds in.

I mean I was about to take a conference call and was going to take one out. And he got me 1 minute into the call. So pissed off, a 116.00 dollars later!!! This is absolutely the last thing I need right now. Grocery shopping though makes me so happy, haha. And I have been getting back into my couponing game again and saved almost 30.00 dollars today. Another win.

Lets be real after the last two days and having my day off today, I wanted to a little bit of nothing. I cleaned our apartment last night so I could just do this afternoon..



It felt great. I love this time of year. I could have spent more time out there but James surprised me and came home for lunch. It was such a nice surprise in the afternoon. And the sun knocked me out a bit, so a nap was in order.

Then I decided to show my ankle and my determination who is boss and went for a 1.50 mile run.


These small miles mean a lot to me. I want to be running long distance so bad and getting back to a routine, but these miles are something and right now I am very happy that I can do this. My ankle does hurt a bit but nothing like before. I can't wait to work on my speed too. That 13:56 is sad but hey progress not perfection.

I also did a 20 minute shoulder work out I saw on Skinny Meg's Instagram. It was intense and I could feel the burn for sure. And it was just what I needed.

Other than that, that is my life from vacation. Just getting back to a routine.

Hope everyone is having a good week thus far!!

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.

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...
