Nathan Running Water/Fuel Belt

With my last couple of long and short runs, my water/fuel belt has seen some better days. I have tripped and fell and bottles have been broken, it is just time to move on and get a new one. I got mine last year from my boyfriend and I have put it to some serious use and because I have lost the weight, it doesn't hold up as well anymore. It slides and hits my legs, makes it uncomfortable at times to get into a good pace, when I'm stopping to fix it. And I need water, I have tried and cant do it.

My boyfriend got mine from Dicks and it was sort of pricey, so I knew I didn't want to go back. I was looking for one that had more of belt idea, rather than the Velcro. My running bff suggested to try TJMaxx or Marshalls, sometimes you can find really great ones there. So I was in the area and figured I would pop into a TJMaxx. Sure enough I found what I was looking for! They had mine I had gotten at Dicks, originally for 47.00, there price 24.99! Ouch! They had it in pink and orange. I figured that would be good, they had the two bottle one in orange with the belt clip too, exactly what I was looking for. Then tucked away on the shelf was this beauty....



4 bottle water and fuel belt for 20.00 on clearance!!! I grabbed it so quickly, I couldn't believe it, 4 bottles can be as high as 60.00 bucks and to be on clearance for 20.00, too good to be true. The water bottles are different, they have a open close water nozzle, that you just suck from, rather than the other ones, which I was having an issue leaking with anyway. Its not pink, but I can deal, I have a lot of pink gear anyway to offset it lol. I was so excited for this find, 4 bottles is just what I needed and really is a gem in my running world.

It is the Velcro latching but I can learn to live considering this might hold up better since is brand new and smaller than what I had. I can not wait to try it out and get used to it before the half marathon in November. I am still on the look out for the one with the clip and if I find one, I will pick it up, just like anything in my running obsession, you can never have too many of the things that work the best for you!

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
