The Next 21 Days...

Good Tuesday Morning Everyone!!

I have been up since 6:30 this morning while I am on vacation, its amazing how I have no problem getting up when I DON'T set an alarm but on days I do, I hit snooze like it is my job! But I think the main reason is because I know I have limited time here and I want to make the very best out of the minutes, even though I may be exhausted.

While sitting here this morning, I realized that today is March 10, being there is 31 days in the month, there is only 3 weeks left of 21 days. They say it takes 21 days to create a habit, so today is a perfect time to create a habit you can stick with in just 21 days and a nice way to end the month and carry on to the rest of the year.

I have never been one to be much of a water drinker. I really struggled with it in the past but I really wanted to commit to getting my ounces in and then some. And once I did that, seriously there is no turning back. I actually now crave the taste of water and will take it over a Diet Coke, a lot of the time.

But I will be real, I still very much love my Diet Coke, but to stay with my habit, I gave myself a rule. I set an amount of ounces I was going to drink that day, such as a 100 ounces or whatever the amount may be, then I could have my Diet Coke. It felt like such a treat and a reward for my hard work, that the Diet Coke tasted even better than I could imagine. After  awhile, I didn't even realize how much water I was drinking and some days I will forget about the treat I set up for myself.

This was a huge deal for me, because I would have a lot of Diet Coke before and hardly any water, sometimes up to 5 a day, it was my go to drink of hydration after my cup of coffee. But after 21 days, it has stuck and it has been a great addition to my healthy lifestyle.

I feel hydrated, I pee a whole lot, meaning I am flushing out anything and everything and my skin has cleared up some too.

So my challenge is, with 21 days left in this month, what challenge or habit will you create to continue on with your life. I bet after 21 days you will be hooked!!!

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
