Where did February go???

First off I can not believe it is March 1!!!


Where the heck did February go???

February was a really fast and tough month for me...

But it was also a growing month for me. Obviously with the ankle injury it was not how I wanted to kick off the month or the year, but I have to come to realize that is just how life is. Seriously!

It has been exactly a month since I last ran. 4 whole weeks. I am dying inside a little bit. I have been distracted this month with getting better the last week or so. There have been some slight set backs, but I can tell this is going to be a long process and ongoing. As much as I want to wake up every day and feel great, it just is not going to happen. Some days will be better than others and some are going to just down right suck.

Like yesterday and this morning so far. Yesterday, the weather was rainy and nasty all day long. I could feel it in my ankle for sure. I did some shopping after work and by the time I got home, I HAD to sit down and elevate that ankle. It was throbbing and swollen. I hate that feeling and today, it has that underlying pain too.

So I decided to just do some stretches with it and tomorrow we will try the treadmill. I think a part of me is scared. For some reason that treadmill scares me, but the idea of going out on the road, I am all for. I am ready to run too.

Like itching for it. I do need to get new shoes for it, and if clearance from the doctor on Wednesday, I am going to do just that. It is going to suck to cough up the money, but I know I need those new shoes, I can not use the ones I have.

So that's where I am at with my ankle, each day is something new. When I think I am good, it likes to creep its way back. What it doesn't know is I am going to give it exactly what it needs.

Also yesterday was Weigh In day. I am officially with Weight Watchers Online now. I started the other day. The only difference, is I weigh in at home and pay 20.00 cheaper. Sure, I can do this on my own and use FitnessPal and count calories, but I can say, I truly love Weight Watchers. I have a number in mind of where I want to be and then I will see if that is what I want to do.

I weighed myself yesterday morning and I was down another 1.8!!! I have not had this great of a success in a really long time. It feels amazing and the confidence I have is truly getting back up there. I have had a struggle for a whole year with this scale and I am hoping this is moving back down. I am now at 166.2. And I am very close to winning that diet bet.

The one problem is next week I will be in New York. I am going to be very cautious of what I eat and how I spend my points. I am going to limit my snacking a whole bunch and portions. There is no need for me to go crazy while home. I am going to just keep doing what I am doing and keep the idea of Vacation out of my head.

James and I are headed to a Spring Training game today for the Phillies. While I would love to just spend the day being lazy, I am so excited to have a day off with him. Just us, letting loose for the day.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday also!!

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...
