Wine, Cheat Meal, Guilt Free & Face to Face: Day 4

It is a Friday and I can get excited because I am actually off for the whole weekend AND Monday!!!!

Today is my last day in the store, not sure what my schedule is going to be today, I can really work and leave whenever I want per say. As long as I feel like I have gotten through everything. Yesterday was a hard day because I felt like I got through nothing, but we did. It was weird.

I started my morning off right with breakfast...


This breakfast here at the Hilton Homewood Suites is fantastic. Each morning there has been some potato option, egg thing of some sort and a meat item. I have been truly spoiled and I love breakfast, so this has been heaven. 


My outfit for the day. Wearing a sweater in May??? It has been chilly here, but a nice change of pace for sure and it has been refreshing. But not as amazing as my Large Iced Coffee every day.


For lunch I had planned to go to Starbucks and use a coupon I had for a Grande Iced Tea and a lunch item, but for some reason the code wouldn't work, so I went to GNC instead and got a Quest Bar and paired it with my yogurt.

Getting out of work, I really wanted some wine and trail mix or pretzels. I know I was craving some sort of comfort food, it was weird, I think because I was tired at work and it was a weird day. I couldn't find wine at the CVS because you can only get wine at a Liquor store and I couldn't find one of them either, so I went back to the hotel and enjoyed the free dinner, that had wine there too...


It was Italian night obvi!!! And I did have seconds of the ziti and some garlic bread. I mean, it was delicious and I really wanted some, so I used this meal as my cheat meal for the whole week. I am very proud of myself this week. So I decided to use it as my rest and cheat day and just unwind, relax and enjoy the fact I had no laundry to do, no cleaning, no drama, nothing, just me, some free food, wine and a night of Netflix.


I was a rebel and snuck the wine to go in a coffee cup! I poured that bad boy to the rim and brought it back to my room where I got a bath with bubbles, pulled the chair into the room and just loved life for a bit.


This literally is how I spent my night. Just me and Parenthood. I popped some popcorn a bit later and then used the last of my Artic Zero ice cream, topped it with a Cookie Dough Quest Bar as my dessert and then called it an early night..


This combo was amazing by the way. I need to find more Artic Zero, it was all cheat without the Cheat or Guilt.


And because it is Face To Face Friday, I just wanted to show how much 5 years, determination, inspiration, motivation and never giving up changes you. I cant even believe it, I am so happy that I made the change when I did. I have never looked or felt better!!

Happy Friday Everyone!!!

    You've done such a great job of staying on plan! Very 007 to sneak the wine in the coffee cup ;) Your comparison pic is awesome--you looked great before, but now you just seem to exude happiness!

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
