Weekend Update

Happy Sunday Everyone!!

Happy Sunday Football too! 




Can you tell we are Redskins fans haha?!! Well I'm kind of like made into a Redskins fan but I'm play along! James was super excited for today, I was happy to have friends over and just chill out. I decorated our apartment, made some snacks for them and had a grand old time.

Then I took some time for Me, grabbed some Froyo and headed downtown to my favorite spot ever...



Which is also where I ran 5 miles on Friday!!! My longest mileage since before my accident...


Pretty damn happy about that run. I felt good, pretty slow pace but I felt really awesome running in it. I did the first mile with no walk breaks and then the 4 doing Galloway with 2:1's. It was hot as heck and I was dripping sweat for like an hour after but it was the best part of my day.

Okay so I haven't chatted about weight loss lately. I'm still on this roller coaster ride for sure. Each day it is different but I'm happy to say, I stopped weighing myself every day... Which helped a lot. I have lost 3.5 pounds in 4 weeks, 2 weeks I stayed the same, like this week and you know what I am fine with that. But that scale is a pain in the ass, one way it says one and another way, another weight! So frustrating!! But whatever, i know I am on a right path. I am doing great with my points, I typically have one cheat kind of day or cheat meal and I'm happy. I am making great choices and drinking water like crazy. The weight is slowin coming off but it is coming off, that's nice. I typically have been sticking to cardio because I love cardio, duh, especially running! And I love the great swear sesh I get from it. Typically 4-5 days a week and usually a rest day on Saturday and Sunday's, and maybe a Thursday mixed in, because of my closing shift. 

I have my really great, damn I feel amazing days. And then I have days I just look at myself and feel like ugh, I pick apart everything, especially my pooch and my arms lately. Then I snap out of it and realize that it only makes me want to work harder. So I take a downfall and move it on.

So as we are in September, I know I missed September Goals, my main one is to not be hard on myself. Not pick apart every little thing and love my journey and molding and taking my body to new levels, even if it means losing one more pound!!

Hope everyone has had a great weekend!!

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 ...

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...
