Just A Thought...

Lately I have been seeing between my Instagram and Facebook, etc, a lot of people running Full Marathons and I am becoming more and more inspired. Marathons are all over, not so many here in Florida, mainly because of our insane weather, but Baltimore, New York, Boston and Chicago, all places I would love to visit and run! So I think the bug has been planted, I want to run a full marathon.

It sounds crazy to me and gives me chills with the idea of me even entertaining this thought and typing this. Never in my wildest dreams would I consider running 26.2 miles, but I have changed and thus have my wildest dreams. And as I sit here with sore legs and feet from running 11 miles, I can only imagine what it would be like to tack on another 15 miles to that pain, but you know what it is something I want to tackle. Now I am not saying I am going to start training tomorrow or sign up for my first one in the next month, but it is something I am looking and setting an ultimate goal towards.

I don't know what tomorrow will  bring or a year from now and I don't want to wake up one day and say I really wish I did that. I love running and I love the accomplishments and satisfaction I get from running. Seeing pictures and reading stories in magazines of accomplishing a full marathon seems like an experience I need to have in my life.

I have my half marathon on November 24 and then I am taking on a Challenge in February with a race that goes on around here, the Gaspirilla Distance Classic. So after that, I think I might just start training for a full marathon and this time next year I will be accomplishing it. I know for sure I will be doing this before I turn 30 in July 2015!

Here is to new goals, dreams and ultimate motivation!!

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
