A rainy Sunday Morn

Well its early for me this Sunday morning and when I woke up to my surprise it was raining. I was all set up for my Day 29 run streak, even had my clothes laid out, but it was super windy, cold and rainy and well I just was not having it this morning. I know I know its only rain and I will sweat anyway, BUT I HATE running in the rain. I have gotten stuck in rain storms, one too many times, I will wait until after work today to get my run in. It will probably be a small and quick one, but I will get it in.

So after I woke up I of course tried to go back to sleep and gain a couple of more minutes but my brain was up and thousands of things started running through them this morning. Very random things, such as...

I really need to do my laundry, it just keeps piling and piling up and even though I was off this weekend, I neglected it. I did get two loads done, but I was having a much better time off, shopping, blogging, and running. I mean aren't days off suppose to be that way.

I am very happy that I have lots of other days off this week, so I can do that, catch up on house work and possibly start taking down the Christmas decorations. I want to keep the tree up until after the New Year, we always did that at my house, I want to keep the tradition the same.

I am renewing my Runner's World subscription today. I can not live without that magazine and thinking about signing up for Women's Running also. Another great publication. Its funny my magazines I get now are Women's Health, Fitness, RW, Self and About You, all deal with healthy, beauty and running. Before it was Rachael Ray and Cosmo. My have my thought process and likes have changed. I was thinking about getting WW too, but I can buy that easily at my meeting location, I would rather give them the business.

Speaking of WW, I am debating when to weigh in, it usually is Tuesday's but because of my crazy schedule I weighed in on Monday last week, so I will have one extra day to make a difference. I hope I am down just a bit this week, but I will not be surprised if I am not. I have eaten a lot of snacks lately. Trail mix, chocolate covered pineapple, couple of desserts at Christmas, some gingerbread, low fat egg nog and we ate out a bunch this week, Chinese and Chipotle. I have ran every day and I am drinking water, but I am not sure that will help. These next few days I am really focusing. But if I am up, I am up! I can knock it down next week.

James and I had a great night last night. We were going to go to the movies but he was exhausted from work, so we went to Chipotle, I told ya, I am loving it lately and then some grocery shopping. I had to drag him there but we made it through. Then we received the Hangover 3 in our Netflix, so we watched that. All of our shows are off until February so we have been watching lots of movies, which is nice. I love nights in with each other. We are thinking about seeing American Hussel tonight. I love Jennifer Lawerence and Amy Adams and Bradley Cooper and the era it is placed in. I am hoping I get out of work early today so we can see it and I am still able to get a run in.

I am super excited for New Years this year. I know the same old thing, new beginnings, letting go of the past, fresh start. Yes I am excited for all that, but I just love the new year, new things to look forward too. And I have a blog post coming up of not just resolutions but goals and bucket list items I want to do. Just things I want to do this year more of.

Oh and plus on New Years Eve and Day, SciFy runs a Twilight Zone marathon all day long. I love the Twilight Zone marathon. I am totally fine with placing myself in front of it all day long and watching it, even if I have seen practically every one. It never gets old for me.

Well now that I have gotten all my random thoughts on the screen, I am not going to enjoy my breakfast and coffee and head to work.

Two things making me smile this morning...


My Princesses wear Running Shoes shirt from James's mom

And


New Greek Yogurt from Yoplait that is only 2pp. It is very good. Sold only at Target.


Talk to you later about Day 29

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

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

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
