Transformation Tuesday: From The Inside Out

So there is this picture that comes up a lot.. Something to the words of, if you want a bikini body, just put on a bikini!!

And I thought about it and said, yes exactly that!!! So I took a plunge and went out and bought a bikini!!

Never in my whole life have I worn a bikini. I have always been a one piece girl! I am more comfortable that way. But have secretly loved the way they looked and really, really wanted one. 





And my excited face!

I got myself a bikini body!!!!!

I put it on and instantly my mind I felt good. I looked at myself in the mirror and didn't pick apart every little thing. I first thought, wow I look pretty darn good and proud of myself.

Now sure I could saw there a lot I want to change but considering how far I have come, this is pretty darn amazing. I would never have dreamed to wear one before and now I did it! And the transformation part is how amazing I feel!!!!

Tears literally welled up in my eyes with happiness because for once I was really loving what I was seeing on the outside. I didn't feel disgusting, I felt really, really good. And it has taken me 4 years to get to this place but I am there. 

I'm loving my flaws, working on them to get better but loving where I am at right now!

My advice is go out there, step
Out of the comfort zone and just put it on. Then take a long hard look at yourself and see how beautiful you truly are and how hard you are working!!

    I love it! You look so happy! I had a similar experience with a dress at Target recently, which I recently blogged about. It's amazing the confidence boost we get just by stepping out of our comfort zone a little bit!

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
