I Love the First

Happy Hump Day!

Happy First Day of April!!

Happy April Fools Day!!

Oh man, so much on one Wednesday. I am not much to partake in April Fools Day, I am the worst at pranks, but people LOVE to do them to me, I am super easy to pull a prank on lol.

Anyway, it is a absolute gorgeous day here in Florida. I mean it seriously feels like a perfect spring day, which in Florida this time of year is a hit or a miss. So I am going to take advantage of the day and lay out by the pool for an hour or so. Sorry all my northern friends, it will get better soon.

I just wanted to touch base with a few things. This week is going actually pretty darn great. I have worked out every day doing either our gym and I got two runs in! Last night was a great run, a little slower than normal, but I was able to run without my ankle brace or KT Tape at all. I seriously was feeling back to normal. BUT with normal always comes something else with me, so while my ankle is starting to get back, my left knee is aching. Now before my accident, that knee was bothering me anyway, and I think because I have had to relie so much on my left side, it has flarred it back up.

So you can't be 100% all the time, but I am working on both of them and hopefully I will feel great real soon. Physical Therapy is going really well. My PT is amazing, he is very low key, been doing this forever and knows his stuff. I had no clue what kind of activity or exercises or things he would have me be doing, but what he has me doing is working awesome. He did a little electro stimulation today with ice and elevation, he does this lotion manual stimulation and then calf raises, ride the bike for 10 minutes and then a bunch of circle exercises and using a band.

Sometimes it hurts, but not as much as it used too, so I know it is getting stronger and stronger!!! WOOHOO!!!

My eating has also been on point this week too. I am really trying to stay in between the 26-29 points, but Monday and Tuesday I went over just a little bit, I mean last night was Chipotle night!! But other than that, life is really good right now. I feel so much better than last week, out of my funk and moving forward.

It's also the start of the new month, which means new beginnings and new goals. I honestly don't have many for this month, I just want to continue on the path I am going right now. I am running the Iron Girl 5k on the 12th and I just want to finish, even if I walk a majority of it, the goal is to finish. No time or pace requirements, I just want that awesome medal and see a lot of my running gals!!!

One fun fact about today is I signed up for my first Full Marathon on this day last year. I wanted to sign up right when it went live, in fear of it selling out. I was so nervous to type in my information and commit to such a huge thing. I was actually shaking and a little over whelmed with emotion. I know, I am a big baby, but it was a huge deal for me to take that first step. I mean signing up for something like that is huge. Hitting that submit button forever changed me.

Hope everyone is having a great day!!!

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...
