Whole Foods, Almond Butter and Pizza

I am really enjoying this staycation, the main thing I am really enjoying is the fact I have no plans for each day, except for the fact I will be working out each day and just relaxing. I am also taking on baking and cooking items I have been meaning to do, but because of work and life I am too tired to do so. This is what vacations are all about. Would I have loved to be home in New York with my family for the week, of course, but finances just aren't in the plan this time around. And when I am home, I cant really just unwind, I am contently going and going, so this is a nice change of pace.

Today, James left super early to go on his golf trip for the next 3 days. I hate to see him go and leave but I think it is a nice vacation for our relationship too, its always nice for us to have some time apart and do our own thing too. I got up a couple of hours later and might Jacke for our run. It was a bit of a struggle this morning, I really felt like I was lagging behind, but I made it through and did 4.26 miles. Of course after my run, I had my Turkey Bacon Egg Muffins, which tasted great, I am so glad I made them. Since I have no timed plans, I got caught up in a movie and then finally got ready to head to Whole Foods.





I love Whole Foods! It is a little expensive for me, but they really have some great products I cant find anywhere else. I picked up some oat flour, wheat germ, wheat bran, Kevita Probiotic drinks, Muscle Brownie Bars, Chia Bars, almond and coconut milk, quiona, creamer, veggie straws, Zico water, and some water enhancements, oh and Almond Butter, which I am now in love with.



 I love going there and just taking my time and walking around, I seriously could spend so much money there, buying everything my little heart desired, but my bank account would not like that so much, lol.

Attached to the Whole Food is my a Target and of course I had to go and check it out, plus I had to get some baby gifts for a baby shower I am attending on Sunday. I picked up a couple of things, not as much as I usually do, I did very well with self control. I am glad I brought a Quest Bar with me on the ride over because I was getting hungry and I didn't want to splurge or indulge with anything bad. By the time I was done with Target I was hungry again, damn running and working out, lol, I snacked on some Beef Jerky for the ride home. I also stopped into Home Goods and found vanilla bean paste, which I needed for a recipe I was making, woohoo.

My day was just simple and relaxing. I got a small nap in today and did some baking. I made 60 calorie Almond Butter Cookies I got off my Pinterest Board.

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

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
