My 16 Goals for 2016

While I am not a fan of resolutions into the new year, I do love the idea of setting up goals and ideas and intentions into the new year. Mainly things that I didn't get to do in 2015 but would love to go forward with it in 2016 and a lot of these are things I do now, just continuing it on.

1. A reading challenge with  my Good Reads app to read 50 books this year. I love to read and setting a goal would make me read even more. I need to put down my phone more or the TV, and just unwind with a book and not social media :0)

 2. Run a sub 30 minute 5k. I had this on my goal in 2015 but with my accident it didn't happen and I am on a quest to chase that number.

 3. PR a half marathon and it doesn't have to happen in a race. My Best Half Time is 2;29. I am coming for that number this year. 

 4. Run a 1000 miles this year. This is my year again to get back into my love of running and really focus back into it.

 5. Use a plan to have an exercise program, not only with the running but toning and strength training more, focusing on my arms and thighs.

 6. Resulting in by the end of the year losing 15 pounds.

 7. Continuing  to count calories and incorporate Macro and Flexible dieting.

 8. Focus more on my blog and getting back to writing more posts and using my Facebook Page with it.

 9. Buy a new car!!!!! I am very excited about this one, not about having a car payment again but it is time.

 10. Focus on financial focus by saving more money, using a plan of saving deposits, like the 52 week challenge.

 11. Do more experiences with James, such as more movies, concerts, plays, brewery tours, more outings together, rather than our typical day offs.

 12. Continue on my path with my job and growing my career more with Things Remembered.

 13. Grow my friendships deeper and spend more times with them, more coffee and wine dates, especially a girls lunch or girls day.

 14. Inspire and motivate more those around me.

 15. Writing down at night before bed, 1-5 positives or happiness from the day in my journal. That way I can read them back at the end of year.

 16. Lastly, loving myself more. Focusing on more self love and bettering myself, taking care of the inside and the outside.

I love these and the idea that it is more of what I am doing now and just making it better.

So what are some things you want to accomplish in 2016???!!!

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
