October Highlights and some Goals for November

AHHHHHHH can you believe it is the last day of October. Holy Macaroni and Cheese balls where has this year gone!!! Just darn right crazy!

I have say my highlights for October are quite small, nothing really fantastic went on in my life in October. The beginning of the month I was super sick with a crazy bad stomach flu, that knocked me right on my butt for days.

I did indulge in a whole lot of pumpkin items. LIKE A LOT! And I am totally okay with it because for the month of November I will be doing EVEN more.

I really increased up my mileage this month. And really felt strong with my running and actually was able to stick to a plan and increased like I was suppose too.

I got to cooking a lot more this month and trying out lots of recipes, check out my Fab Finds and Daily Eats pages.

I actually finished and started a book and the TV series that went with it, Orange Is The New Black, I can not wait for Season 2.


At work I finally feel like I am making progress with my goals there for preparing for the holiday, which is really nice.

I finally attacked some cleaning and hording issues we had going on around here, it feels great.

Okay so with November starting tomorrow, I have to work in the morning and all day long so here are some things I would like to do in November:

First off of course run the Women's Half Marathon on November 24th
Turkey Trot 5k on Thanksgiving
Attending my BFF's wedding, YAY!!
Celebrating my boyfriends, my moms birthday.
Tons of birthdays this month I have to celebrate too!
Getting my mind and strength ready for the holiday season to begin, BLACK FRIDAY kicks it all off.
More cooking and bring something for Thanksgiving dinner.
Even though I am tapering some with my running for the Half, making myself do more with weights and the gym.
Watch a little less of TV on my day off and read more.
Cooking at least two things a week out of a cookbook, I own tons of them and have no reason not to use them lol.
Oh and Run/walk at least 120 miles for the month of November, I joined a Challenge with Run, Eat, Repeat: Pile on the Miles, check out her blog too, AWESOME STUFF and Join the Challenge!!

What are your Goals for November?
Did you have a good October or glad it is over?

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...
