Stronger, Better, Faster

It's mid week, which means the week is almost over and my vacation is half way over!! Booooo.

I am really having a great time. I feel so relaxed and refreshed. I have been hanging out a lot with my Poppy, which is making me so extremely happy. His health hasn't been the best, so I am cherishing this time tremendously. I have cooked him breakfast and lunch and dinner every day and just being able to tend to him like he has my whole life, is rewarding to me.

The weather is pretty nice here too. I mean 30 degrees is freaking cold for me but it is refreshing. Today, I went out to get a run in. It is crazy to me that 3 months ago, I was running long distances just for fun and now I can only do a mile or so. But baby steps and progress is going to be big for me.

Today, I went for 1.48 and it felt amazing. I seriously could have done so much more, but I am getting better, faster and stronger each time I go out, even if it is just a little bit...


When I first started my running, I was getting 17 minutes per, now I am slowly getting back, I also decided to try 1:1's and it felt good. Having the sun hit my face and just being back to a "runner", I cant even explain how great it felt!! My legs were losing up and my ankle was feeling  wee bit better, except after I am done.

Rest and Ice is on the agenda. My Poppy wants to go for a small walk because his PT said he could cause its a nice day, so that's what I am happy to do with him!!

My eating has also been awesome too. I am not eating anything different than what I normally would and making great choices. I have been weighing myself each day but their scale is a bit weird and off, so I am going to wait until Saturday or when I am home in Florida to get the final weigh in for the Diet Bet.

Hope everyone is having a good week and here's to Progress Not Perfection!

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...
