Day 2 of Travel

Hello Again!!!!

Yup I haven't gone anywhere and I am still here to report on my second day.

I hope you enjoy a day to day in my life kind of posts. I am loving it and I think I might do this more often.

Today was a pretty great day. Training at the store for the new associates there went amazing. They are like little sponges and grasping on to everything I am showing them, seriously it makes my heart full. I truly love the training aspect I do in my job.

I, honestly, didn't sleep all that great last night. I tossed and turned a bunch, due to the part of being out of my element. But the bed is awesome and I could have stayed in that thing all day. I knew I would be able to work out tonight after work, so I took advantage of sleeping in a bit more.

The hotel provides a pretty awesome free breakfast. There are hot itmes, such as a special freatured item, this morning was shredded potatoes, sausage links and a egg burrito. Then they have cold cereal, oatmeal with toppings, bread products, danishes, fruit, juices, you can make your own waffle, hard boiled eggs and yogurt and coffee.

I had some coffee of course and two hard boiled eggs, a yogurt, some potatoes and sausage...


I am so glad that they provide a breakfast and they provide a dinner, which is awesome!!! I will get to that soon.

Then I put on my big girl panties, shaked my nerves and headed out the door...


Perfect selfie mirror, fyi :0)

Across from the mall they have a Dunkin Donuts. I will be there everything morning, I mean how can I not.

For lunch and snack at work, I packed one of those balanced breaks, which was some cheese, nuts and dried fruit and I brought a QuestBar with me. I got a Venti Iced Green Tea also, unsweetened. 

When I got back from work, the hotel was having a dinner from 5:30-7:30. I thought it was a quick little finger foods, but to my shock and surprise, they had a full dinner set up. I mean not a full dinner, but buffet style of some pretty amazing things.


There was crab cake, some pasta, summer squash, cucumber and tomato salad, a roll and a salad with chick peas and fat free ranch. All free, this Hilton is no joke. I am living like a Princess this week, so spoiled. I am overguessing points on this because I really have no idea how it was prepared. This just took a huge weight off my shoulders that this is provided for me and so convient.

After filling my belly, I came back to my room, relaxed a bit and then hit up the hotel gym. I used the elipitcal for 36 minutes and then did some abs and arms.


Another successful day!! I am loving this and feeling really great this week too. Tomorrow I am going to my Aunts for dinner, so I am working out in the morning. I wish I could run here, but the area doesn't have the best sidewalk areas, so I am sticking to just the gym and will run when I get to my Poppys house. My plan is to have my rest day yesterday and Friday.

Okay, now a shower, my Artic Zero and Parenthood before dream land!!

Have a great week everyone.

    That's awesome that the hotel provides breakfast AND dinner; so many have free breakfast, but it's rare to find them with free dinner--and GOOD dinner at that!

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
