1000 Miles in 2016 Update



Good Sunday Morning!!! I had a glorious sleep last night and even got to sleep in this morning and have been super lazy since I got up. Actually I have been catching up on a ton of stuff online, which has been great. I have neglected some of my Influenster and BzzAgent stuff and finally I have gotten it all together again. I have been quitely drinking my coffee and cleaning up the apartment a bit. It has been a great morning and shortly I will be running to the mall to get something and then planning on spending the afternoon with the TV off and a book or two in hand.

But before I log myself off, I wanted to update my 1000 miles in 2016 challenge I have given myself. Starting on January 2, I set a goal for this year to run 1000 miles in this year. While the first half of the year has been a bit rough, and I still have some ways to go, 8 months exactly. I know I can do it. I just have to buckle down but I am so proud of how many miles I have covered so far.

January: 50 miles
February 42.97 ( rough month)
March: 45 miles

After 3 months I am at 137.97. Now I am calculating just running miles, not walking or cross training. I have to average around 108 miles per month, which I know I can totally do. After Iron Girl next week, which is 13.1 miles, I have no more halves on my plate until the end of the year. So my running will be all based around just how I am feeling and I love long distance running, so I am positive I am going to run just for the heck of it and a lot will be just long runs.

I am determined and motivated and inspired to complete this goal by December 31. Plus for every mile I run this year, I pay myself a dollar, so any even more bonus to get out there and get moving!!

Any goals you set this year and how is your progress thus far?

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
