Sunday Reflections

Yay it is Sunday!!!!!

Seriously, I think Sunday is one of my favorite times of the week. I am usually off on Sunday's, I sleep in, get some laundry done, usually clean up the apartment a bit, I drink lots of coffee, take a long nap, catch up on my Netflix and read my book. Oh and my most favorite time of the day, getting a run in sometime.

My Sunday mornings for months and probably a whole year, consisted of me getting up at 4:00 am and going downtown and pounding out miles and miles. I LOVED IT. I craved it. But it made for my Saturday nights to be very simple because I had to get up so early.

 I like the transistion I have now on my Sunday mornings. They are feeling more like a day off for me again. Before, they honestly felt like another day of work. BUT I would be lying, as much as I love my lazy Sunday's, I miss those sunrise runs, the smell of morning, seeing people do the walk of shame, seeing other runners taking on the morning.

While, I love my sleepy mornings and kicking back with my coffee, I miss those runs for sure.

I will get back to those morning runs, maybe not every Sunday, because man I love the cuddle mornings, but once a week. I guess, I am just missing what it was like.

Alright, so after that totally random post on my Sunday mornings. Lets recap the week a bit, well from Wednesday on.

I have to say this week was pretty freaking great. It started off a bit rought with a bad day on Monday, but I worked out, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday. That is a big deal for me.

I am finally getting consistent with my workouts and feeling really good about them. I have been incorporating running and weights and mixing them up. I am laying a little heavier on the cardio side because I it gets me sweaty quickly and I don't know I love the feeling I get from cardio, mainly just the running aspect and the elipitical. Then I have been doing some stair workouts and sprints, and then doing some weights in my arms and a full body type of work out.

I found a great one with SkinnyMeg and I did it on Thursday and still today, my arms and upper body are sore lol.

The scale and I have been battling a bit this week. One day, I am up, the next day I am down. But there is movement in the right direction, so I am happy with that. I think I am going to switch up my weigh in day, I was telling my friend Melissa yesterday, that usually on Friday nights because James's closes that night we get dinner to go, usually Chipotle. So when I weigh in on Saturday morning, the scale reflects the salt, making the scale go up. So for me to enjoy life a little bit, I am going to try to weigh in on Friday, so I can enjoy my meal and not feel so guilty.

I did weigh in yesterday, and I was down .4. Wish it was more, but hey a loss is a loss and just like a win is a win it just feels good. My clothes feel a bit different too, and I can see some change in the mirror. I am really just feeling great lately. My choices have been good, sure I have my moments when all I want is carbs, I am human, but the next meal, I try to limit as much as I can. It is all about balance right!!

And my water has been on point too and incorporating green tea in my life again. So it was a good week, after the week prior when I felt all off. Keeping this week going the same. I have my family vacation at the end of the month and I want to make sure I look my very best!!

Hope everyone had a great week also of small victories and Big accomplishments!!!

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.

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...
