Simple Sunday & Weekly Weigh In Early

Usually on my days off I tend to wake up between 5-6, so I can get a run in. I was suppose to run downtown with my bff, Jacke, but she had a huge project for Nursing School due today, so she couldn't make it. So proud of her, she is working so hard, trying to get  her runs and exercise in and working a part time job, while running a household, girl is getting it done!! So since we weren't going to go together, I had a wild idea of just sleeping in a bit and running a couple hours later.

My bf and I were up late last night, watching the Mayweather fight, believe me 1:30 am is late for us these days, I can barely make it past 10:00 at times. I remember the days of changing bars at 1:30 am hehe. I had set my alarm for 6:00am, and then when it went off I said the heck with it, I am going to just sleep in. It was so tough getting out of bed, I was in the perfect cozy set up and my bf was cuddle right against me, what Sundays are made of. I slept in until 9:00. That is late for me and it felt great.

I got dressed and did a 3.13 mile run. I was trying to work on my first mile speed work because the first is always the fastest when I race because everyone is just trying to get out of the crowd, I wanted to work on it so I could get a good rhythm. Even though I was only running 2 hours later than I normally do, it was so hot. When I was done, in the AC, and unwinding, I was still dripping sweat.

I have a Store Managers meeting on Tuesday which is all day long, I wont be able to make it to my WW meeting or weigh in. I decided today I would weigh in, because I don't want to skip over it. They are only open for an hour on Sunday's so I had a small margin of time. I weighed in and pleasantly pleased I was down .6! Not a whole lot, but I will take a lost as a lost considering I just weighed in 4 days ago. .6 isn't a whole lot but I was so happy to see the number go down, even if it is just a little bit.

I think I might have found what works for me and that is eating my activity points, especially on days I do my long runs. I need to eat more than 26 those days because I burn so many calories in one time frame, so it works for me to eat over because I am constantly burning those calories. I am going to test it for another month and see if that is really what is working.

After my weigh in, I went and did some grocery shopping. Even though it costs me so much money to eat well, it is so worth it and I don't mind spending money to keep me looking this good. I came home after and just relaxed, I wanted to sit down to just read for a bit, but Million Dollar Baby was on TV and there was no hope for me, I was hooked. And I was crying like a baby, movie it does it to me. BF came home and now we are both in our comfy clothes, full from an awesome Turkey Chili with Cornbread, 9pp and watching Sunday Night Football.

Hope everyone had a nice, simple, Sunday like mine!

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
