Run.Work.Sleep : My Life!!

A pretty decent Saturday today, full moon is still shining bright which is making some of my customers super crazy, but all and all a decent day.

I got up this morning and went out for a run. I got a good 4 miles in but it was a TOUGH 4 miles, I probably could have done 4.5 but once my Runtastic app said 4 miles, I stopped it and walked the rest of the time to cool down. Fall has NOT come to Florida yet, it is still so hot out! I mean like Hell heat, scorching hot. I felt like the sun was literally sitting on my shoulders while I ran. I usually don't complain about the heat, I mean I live in Florida, I should be able to deal with it, but today I was just beat, it was way to hot for even me. I even walked more seconds on my 1:00 minute intervals. But I survived and got a mileage run in, not the best pace and time but the miles got in.

After my run, I did some housework, you know the simple stuff, dishes, laundry, cleaned up a bit and a nice big cup of coffee to drag me along. Most days I take my coffee in a to go cup because of work, so it is so nice when I can just enjoy from my many coffee cups. Got showered and ready for work and then sat down for a quick breakfast, yogurt and Lemon Fiber One Bar with some granola on top. It was quick but great. I love yogurt, I get in phases and I seriously could eat it everyday.

I got caught up with my DVR; Grey's Anatomy, Big Bang Theory and Chelsea Lately. Then it was time for work, made my lunch which was a simple turkey sandwich with cheese and some pickles and cubed pineapple. I also made a pumpkin smoothie. I wont post the recipe just yet because I am still tweaking it, wasn't as good as I was hoping. Made it through my work day, but really wish I had some more fruit and snacks at work because my stomach was growling and I really didn't want to bring like granola bars, chips etc. It is a bad habit of mine, I sure do love me some carbs.

Got home from work and had a turkey chili cooking in our Crock pot. I love my slow cooker, it saves my life a lot! My boyfriend had a friend over to watch a football game so they had order pizza. I had my chili with some Way Better Black Bean Tortilla Chips, which are amazing by the way and I was still hungry afterwords. Since I still have a ton of activity points, I indulge in a slice of pizza. It tasted like heaven and so glad I indulge so I wouldn't go crazy on something else. Sometimes you just need to indulge and give in. Once in a while will not kill you and I wont kick myself for it because I know tomorrow I will run and work hard to get it off and earn more activity points.

Now is time for a little sweat dessert and bed. Up early tomorrow for work, but its a short day which is always nice. Hope your Saturday if working some uneventful and nice 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.

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

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
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
