Weekly Weigh In: Frustrated but Keeping On

Day off today and like most times I have off on a weigh in day, I weigh in the morning. I got up early this morning and got a 5k in, had a really good time with my run this morning. It had just rained probably about 30 minutes before so it was humid but the sweat was kind of refreshing. I had some things to do after my run, I showered and then went to WW to weigh in and I had a gain. A gain of .8. I get .8 isn't that bad but after a gain of last week, I thought for sure I was going to have a loss. I ran 9 miles last Wednesday and did two runs on Sunday, 5 in the morning and 3 at night and ran this morning and did yoga last night. I didn't go into my weeklies, but did eat my activity points, especially on the day I ran 9 miles. I guess I am just a little frustrated with what I'm getting.

I eat well, I do have cheat days and probably this week more than most, because we met up with family, went to a football game and I was just feeling hungry. A friend of mine reached out to me and suggested I look into the Simply Filling Technique of Weight Watchers, I'm intrigued by the idea, so I am going to look into and if I'm unhappy with the results next week, might have to switch it up a bit. Plus, my lovely monthly gift showed up, which I am sure had a lot to do with it. So today begins another week, usually on Tuesdays, I don't track, its my free day per say, but I am going to track, just to hold myself accountable. I'm still going to enjoy Taco Tuesday because it is literally my favorite time of the week, but I'm not giving up.

I just have to keep on keeping on and hope for a better week next week.

Last week: 151.6
Current Week: 152.4
Beginning of August weigh in: 155.4
Beginning of September weigh in: 152.4
I guess there is a little bit of a silver lining

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

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
