Weekly Weigh In: A Gain but A Win

This past week has been a hard one, I wasn't on vacation, but a family member was down and it was as if I was on vacation with them. We ate out every night, which I was very happy about because we made awesome choices and got to indulge in restaurants that we never get out too. My BF and I eat in at least 6 days of the week, so to be able to go out and enjoy someone else cooking for me, is more than a treat, its pure heaven.

I know the correct way to eat for sure. I have this healthy eating down to a science at times, but sometimes I forget or stir away and just enjoy. But this week I did really good, I thought, I mean I did forget to say dressing on the side with my Chicken Cesar Salad, I did steal some chips from the bag that came as a side with my Crab Cake Sandwich, I did enjoy the whole serving of Chicken Pad Thai, and I did have an extra couple of pieces of bread in the beginning of two meals.

I am HUMAN! I am flawed, but you know what it was fantastic. It tasted great and did not regret it one bit. Eating out with family was great, made for awesome conversation and memories. Isn't it funny how food does that for us??!!

Even though I ate out every day, I did work out when I could. I went to the gym, did at home exercises, and got at least 3 runs, including one long one, 7 miles. The 7 miler was awesome and felt great, no pain, great pace, and had awesome company. So the working out evens out the bad eating. I thought for sure when I went to weigh in this morning, I was going to gain at least 3 pounds. I decided to weigh in this morning, rather than evening, even though I'm off from work today because I had the time in the morning and that way I could just chill out today.

Well when I stepped on the scale, I had gained .6! Only .6, I was thrilled! I mean I am not happy with the fact it is a gain, I don't want that at all, but a half of a pound is okay to me. I will get that .6 off and then some this week. I am back on track, keeping to my points and getting in my exercise. So even though it is a gain, I am happy it is not as bad as I was thinking.

It proves that Weight Watchers does work, even during a bad week, and something out of the ordinary, I did great. That is a win all on its own!

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

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
