Weekly Weigh In: Attack of the Snack Monster

Once again I had no clue what was going to happen at this weigh in today. I swear every week it is a hit or a miss, and well this week was a miss. I earned about 33 activity points this week and ate them all. It was attack of the snack monster this week. I was extremely snacky!!! I don't know where it came from or why, I was just very hungry all the time. And I go for the right items, apples, grapes, fruit, veggies, but man, sometimes I just want something else, so all my 2-3 point snacks were looking so good and my almonds were on point. I live up to my weight gain this week of 1.4. I know its silly, that isn't much of a gain, but you know what it is a still a gain and it takes a blow to the self-esteem at times, especially, when you know you work so hard. I have been up and down for what seems like forever now, my body will just not go beyond this 151 pound mark.



 It wants to stay this way forever, BUT what my mind wants, isn't what my heart wants. And the heart always wins. So I continue to fight, I continue to move on, I pick myself up, I track, I run and I use my points. I will not let the fact I am yo-yoing so much get me down, it is a hill, and fight now I am stuck on the side, but let me tell you when I get over this hill, I am flying down!!!

Last week 150.2
This week 151.6
Plus 1.4
Total weight loss: 82.6

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
