Thursday Morning Happiness & One Song Workout

Happy Thursday Morning Everyone!!!

I am in a great mood this week. It has been a pretty good one too. I started off Sunday with a day of nothing but relaxing. Literally I laid around all day. It was good for my soul and body for sure. I plan on doing that again this Sunday too. Don't get me wrong, I love my Sunday work outs and running but I have some Sunday's coming up soon that I wont be able to just chill, so I will take it when I can get it.

Monday I worked out for an hour and half at the gym when I got home from work. Did a lot of arm and lower body work outs and then some cardio on the treadmill. Tuesday was my day off, I did some work in the morning and then I was off for the rest of the day and spent some time with James. We tried a new place for lunch and I got a nap in. It was glorious!!!!! Then I got a 2 mile run in. That damn two mile part always gets me. I do not know what it is about that second mile. I HATE It.

But I got 2  miles done and then walked home the other 2. I seriously love running and walking but I know I need to add more from the gym and I am working on it. Slow and steady and progress not perfection, but I am getting there. And really trying to get in some weights. I know it will be a huge difference, so I am willing to work at it.

Yesterday, I had a travel day for work and when I got home, I did a One Song Cardio Workout I had seen on SkinnyMeg's blog...

A little Dance Cardio Triceps: A little Dance Cardio Triceps

I thought when I saw this, oh heck this will be easy. Yeah RIGHHHTTTT!!! This was hard, I was breathing so heavy and sweating up a storm and I couldn't drink water fast enough.. It took me longer than the songs playing but I kept going. I know I have a long ways to go with some of these, like Burpees, ugghhh they sucked and Russian Twists, I could not get my Legs to stay up while I twisted, so I modified it a bit. I really liked this exercise and once I get the hang of it, I know I will get better. This was a great way to do at home if you don't or cant get to the gym or just something a little extra to do and  burn some calories and get your blood pumping.

See, I have to do different things to keep me entertained.

Today, is my restish day. I have to close at work today, so I took the morning to enjoy some coffee, stay in my sweats, make an awesome breakfast with James, which I will post later. And actually get a blog in!!! It is nice to take mornings like this before work because it sets me up for the day and take it on there!

Tomorrow I will do a gym day before my conference call and on Saturday will be a run day.

Hope everyone is having a great day and week!!! And looking forward to a long weekend.

Stay tuned too, I have some fun posts coming up soon!!

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

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
