Finally Friday!

It has been a long week to say the least. Busy at work all week, early hours and worked every day including Sunday and haven't had a day off since last Wednesday. Yes, its exhausting, tiring but in the end I know all my hard work and dedication is worth it. The beginning of the week it was really laying heavy on me, the rain didn't make it any better, and I was just a pure crank monster. Crank Monster= Cranky, crazy, monster like state of mind and attitude. I came home from work and just didn't want to do, see or engage in anything. My body felt so run down. On Wednesday finally the rain cleared up and so did I with an amazing 4.28 mile run, seriously it was exactly what I needed and ever since then I have been feeling great. Got another run in last night, 3.50 miles and then tonight I got a 2.00 mile walk in because I am planning on doing my long run of 10 miles in the morning.

Due to my crank monster attitude all week, I was happy to have a half day today at work and I just took some time to myself. I stopped my GNC and Barnes and Nobles and surprised my boyfriend for lunch, we went to Panera and my mood and life was back to normal. Isn't it crazy how a couple of days just come out of nowhere and rock you. After my awesome lunch with an even better lunch date, I went home and Napped. Yup, an under the covers, AC blasting, phone on silent nap. Felt great.

To keep our great day going, we decided  it was going to be a date night. We got pizza, yup pizza, counted the points, and maybe I didn't count every piece of Cheesy bread I ate. I am only human and I love bread and sometimes I just want it. Tonight I wanted it, plus I try to justify I AM running 10 miles in the morning, haha. I work hard every day and every week, if I want pizza and bread I will get it. After the awesome pizza we went to the movies and saw Don Jon. Joesph Gordon Levitt is my new favorite actor, he is gorgeous and his accent, NJ accent did it for me in this movie.



The movie is definitely not an Oscar winner, but it was a nice movie that had a romantic twist, but had LOTS of guy factors to it also. Win Win for both of us.



You know, even though we spend every day together, every night, practically every minute, it is still nice to have a date night and I seriously fall in love all over again. He is my rock and so glad we are in each others lives and puts up with my Crank Monster days. We are domesticate, simple but mostly we are happy. So even though the week started a bit rough and I never thought this day would come this week, I am glad it was worth the wait because today was pretty great!

Happy Friday, ya'll!

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.

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
