Citrus Smoothie

Happy Monday!! 

I am mid flight and I am not in the mood to read my book I bought and my Netflix is wifi only so I thought I would type a post! Even though this will post well after Inhave landed :0)

Yesterday I had a great relaxing day off, which consisted of sleeping in, catching up on some online stuff, two loads of laundry, packing, LOTS of Parenthood binging, a good sweaty Run, in which I got of my Sweats for and then showered after and got right back in haha.

My run was really good... It was hotter than most days and I went out at 1:30 which is expected but sometimes I seriously love those runs. The feeling of the heat from top and bottom and being inbetween squished with the heat, is such a sense of accomplishment for me..



My pace is getting better. And my endurance of just running is getting better too and I hardly feel my ankle anymore. Big strides in progression and I couldn't be happier. I also have stopped keeping track of my mileage. 

I am being realistic and I know I would hit a 1000 miles this year, not my year. BUT this is my year to get stronger, faster and more in love with running. I'm going back to the beginning. Next year I'll tackle the mileage, right now I just want to run. So where before I would right every mileage I did on my calendar and total it up, a bit obsessive for me, just isn't happening. Because I don't want to disappoint myself with how little my mileage is for the week. I just want to be proud of the injury I am overcoming and becoming stronger this year.

Since I was dripping in sweat, I hydrated myself with a fresh, fruity, citrus smoothie. I am not one to have a smoothie or shake every day. I don't feel filled from them despite the contents but sometimes I really want one.


I forgot to take a picture of ingredients, bad blogger but you can imagine! Plus the cup picture is for you Nanci, I know you appreciate it!! Haha! Marilyn, pink, sparkles and chevron!! Hello it is me all the way.

Okay, back to the smoothie, so easy and really delicious. 

In my blender I threw in 5 ice cubes, some cut up watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew! They were big chunks, so probably 7 all together, 3 watermelon, 3 canteloupe and 1 honeydew. Added 1 cup of Trop50 no pulp orange juice and a 1/2 scoop of Vanilla Whey Protein and then blended!!!

It was cold, refreshing and hydrated me right back. I loved it and will be making again especially after those hot runs!!

Hope everyone is having a happy Monday!!!

    Oh man, I totally feel you on loving the good, sweaty runs! It's hot and humid here 24/7 now, so even going out at 6am I still come home completely soaked and dripping with sweat--it's so disgusting yet wonderful! Haha. That smoothie sounds really refreshing; it's been a long time since I made smoothies for myself, but I might have to try something that post-run!

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
