Past Couple of Days and Change

Happy MidWeek Happiness!!!

Its been a bit of a world wind of everything this week, I feel like I am always saying that too. I came back from my work week away and just getting back adjusted. On Monday I spent the day just trying to unwind a bit, relax and did grocery shopping. I had to go to Target and Trader Joe's, both of my favorite places in the whole world :0)


I got a lot of awesome things from Trader Joe's and will be posting about those items in the next few days. But here is a little bit of a look back on my week thus far. Lots of eats and working out.


I got this run in yesterday. I had a bit of a stuggle bus of it. I was having a lot of pain in my right side, I could not get my deep breathes to cool it down. So I just threw in the towel, got my mile in and walked the rest of the way and instead of getting mad and frustrated, I ran up and down the stairs of our aparment to just work on my legs more. I am really understanding that I need to put lots of effort behind my legs. I know working them out and using leg days and weights with them, will make them smaller and stronger.


These darn stairs are the death of me but they feel so good afterwords, Just as simple as going up and down them and then squats at the end of them. They were shaking and I loved that shaking feeling. I don't need a gym membership, I am trying to use whatever I have around me to keep me going and burning a sweat.


And because I love a little Sparkle!!!!
I got these at Target for 5.38, I could not pass that deal up


These are a HUGE win!!! 40 calories for 1pp per pop! They taste great, give me that chocolate ice cream craving I am looking for. I can enjoy a cold treat and not bust my waistline. Another super easy win!! These will be staying in my freezer for a really long time.

And because I am embracing change in everything in my life. I found this and it just spoke to me...


This regins so true to every aspect of life. Working out, diet change, business, work andything and everything. I am all about change, I embrace it because I know I can learn from it and live through it. So I started forever ago with my weight loss journey which was a huge change and then amping up my running, all were hard but God look how I came out in the end.

Not sure what changes are coming up for me soon, besides that fact I am turning 30 in a month and half, that's a big change and I am ready to take it on and to shed some skin, I decided to go a little shorter in my hair style :0)


It is short and stacked and fun and me! I kept telling the lady do whatever you want, I embrace change. And it is so true, however it comes out, I am ready for it.

My question, what is the biggest change you have made lately?? Did you Embrace it?

    I love your hair! My reward to myself for reaching 10 lbs lost was a hair cut; my hair was to the middle of my back, and I cut it as short as you cut yours. When I did it, I thought, "I'm changing so much--I want all this old hair GONE." Strange how much our hair can be a reflection of our feelings.

      Isn't it though. I feel like a ton of weight has been lifted off of me too. And I usually always have my hair short but I just wanted to go a little bit more, just some change!!

Low Point Apple Crisp

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

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

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
