Busy Week & Progression!

Happy Sunday and Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there.

Hope your day was blessed and you got to spend it with the ones you loved, no matter if you are a mom to fur babies, real babies, big babies, God mommies, Grandmas, Aunts, Step Moms, or you a strong Mother figure in someones life.

I am blessed to have the best Mom and Godmother there is around. And I have had a lot of mother figures in my life that have guided me along the way. I am a pretty strong lady and I give all the credit to the ladies of my life and well the men too. But the ladies, they defintley made me strong. I wish I could be with my family today, but phone calls and texts will have to do.

Whew, what a week it has been. On my feet and go go all week long. I just have to get through an Eight hour shift tomorrow and I will be off on Tuesday. Which tomorrow James and I have plans to go to the beach, somewhere and have a little Happy Hour. I cant tell you how much I want a margarita or two. And I wont even track it lol.

Speaking of tracking and working out. Usually weeks like this are quite tough for me because my life just completly is dedicated to work. But this week I think I did really awesome. I ran twice and got to they gym and did strength training twice.

I felt really good this week and had energy and I was sleeping well. But the best of it all was my ankle. It did not feel stiff, or sore and I was on my feet at work all day long, no sitting or anything. I left work and my legs were sore, but not my ankle. It is a huge transformation and progression. This week was the first real test because it was the longest week I would be on it since the accident and I am happily to report it did very well.

I wish I had gotten one more run in this week because work was defintely a bit of cardio at times, I am happy I got two runs in  at least. I was going to run after work today but I just needed some time to get to my computer, do some paper work stuff and just freaking relax. I just needed some me time a bit. So today and tomorrow and then a nice run on Tuesday morning on my day off, which I do not have much plans, except relaxing, phew!

I did weigh in yesterdy before work and I was up .6. Which I know had a lot to do wtih salt and weigh retention. I have a feeling Aunt Flo is on her way to visit this week, which is making me feel all kinds of wacky and makes a 100% sense. So I take this small gain as just another stepping stone and progress. Because I brought lunch to work, I made good choices this week, drank lots of water and stayed active.

It was a nice progression week and ready to take on another one and enjoy a nice cold Margarita.

Hope everyone had a great week also!!!

Stay Positive and Sparkle!!

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...
