And will you succeed? Yes, You Will Indeed!



I love this quote!!!! How amazing and true this is!! All my success, dedication and life is due to those I am surrounded by and for staying true to who I am!!!

I get this question a lot, " How do you stay so motivated and dedicated?" To me, it is pretty simple, I JUST WANTED IT,  Wanting to succeed so much it hurts, knowing that at the end of the journey it is well worth the wait. I stay so motivated and dedicated because I have made it up in my mind that there is no other way. I am an extremely positive person. I believe in the theory that the glass is half full, not half empty and I can honestly say I have been like that my whole life. I tend to take the bitter with the sweet, roll with the punches and keep moving on. Not sure why I am like that because I have been dealt some crappy cards in my life, but the one thing I know that has influenced me the most is the positive people I have in my life. Believe me when I say this, surround yourself with positive, healthy, happy, motivating and dedicated people in your life. These type of people are hard find, but they make their way into your life at just the right moments.

 I consider myself a positive person to be around, I wont put people down, I love to see people succeed and grow and become someone better than they ever thought they could be. I live this way in my healthy lifestyle and in my career. I love positive people like myself, I live and breathe off of people who just have energy and spunk and life. Being around positive people, make me want to be a better person. I thought of this today and how true it really is. I had a really long day at work yesterday and have had sort of a long rough week emotionally. I worked a long shift today and decided after work to meet up with a friend for a work out session. I was dragging my feet but went anyway and I'm so glad I did.

The two of us together worked so well off our energy that an hour went by just like that and I felt great afterwards, so good I was beat. My friends positive energy changed my whole outlook on the day and week just in that one hour. Her motivation during our workout helped me succeed and actually gave me a new work out routine to improve my training. It was just awesome. I feel this way at work too. I have some pretty amazing people I work with and just being able to talk to them, converse about our day, vent and feed off of each of our energy, makes me want to be a better person and continue to grow at work.

My family and friends do that for me too. A lot of my friends from back home we hardly ever see because of the miles, but getting a text or hearing a song, make me feel great knowing I have these people in my life. Talking on the phone with my family and how they lift me up and support me. And every day living this journey with the love of my life, who inspires me, supports me and loves me just for being me, is my positive light.

My point to this whole ramble is I hope I am a positive light in your journey. I hope I can motivate and inspire you to be a better person because I know the people in my life do that for me. I hope I can just pay it forward, like those have before me.

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. 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
