Hello From The Sick Side

Hi everyone!! I have been absent this week because once again I have fallen down the sick well again. I have to honestly say I am getting sick and tired of this path.

I have been so well this month after the half marathon. My running has been back and I have been feeling back to normal and then Sunday happened.

Actually back to how awesome my running has been, I realized every Saturday this month I ran a different race and a different mileage each one. Saturday the 6th was 13.1, the 13th was a Valentine's virtual of 2.14, the 20th was Gasparilla 15k of 9.33 and last Saturday was a beach 5k for race for the cupcake. Which by the way was so much fun!!!



This race was probably my favorite of all the weekends because it happened so close to home and on the beach in the morning. It was a lot of fun and inspired me to get out to the beach much more.

On these Saturday's except the half I worked on those days, I made no excuses and got the race done and happily, well not all happily headed to work lol.

I have felt so good and really proud of myself. Then Sunday came and around 9 at night it started to hit me with a weird sore throat. Then full on full force shivers, even though my body was literally on fire. I mean to touch and I felt like I was burning and felt so wrong. I felt like I was panicking and dying. I always feel like that when I'm sick.

Then Monday morning came. I was burning up, throwing up and crying uncontrollably. My ears and throat hurt and my whole body ached I felt like I couldn't move. We went to urgent care and they took 3 hours, which left me throwing up more and then telling me I didn't have the flu, but like the flu, wtf!!

I also had a sinus infection and rapid flu, I was a hot mess. Tuesday morning I woke twice, dripping and drenched in sweat. It was bad but finally my fever broke and in a big way. Tuesday I tried to do some work from home with conference calls and such. I washed all of our bedding and was starting to feel okay.

This morning I woke up with the worse ear pain and used it as another day of rest. It has helped but I just hating being weak and it back tracks everything I have been doing. It just sucks. And yes I give myself a pitty party when sick. 

Anyway im hoping to move past this week and be much better and back to normal and live in a bubble. Haha.

The one thing with being sick that has been nice, is I have read and finished two books and my naps have been nice. Lol.

Hope everyone is feeling better also!

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...
