December Run Streak Challenge Day 4

Okay so this may be harder than I thought! I have decided that I have to run before work, I can not run after work, because as much as I try to leave on time, lets me be real, it never happens. Today I had my bags ready to go and as I went to clock out, I had to help with a customer and a sale and I got sucked back in. I love my job BUT I can never leave on time, it is extremely rare!! So as I was scheduled to get out at 5, 615 I left and it is dark out.

Plus, I was standing all day long, busy as heck at work, in flats, my feet were a little tired BUT I am determined, so I got home, sat for just 5 minutes and out the door I went. I was given a little red flashy, beeper thingy, at the Expo two weeks ago, so I attached it to my shirt and went running. I knew I was only going to do one mile because it was too dark out and I can not afford to trip and fall and hurt myself. I just went down our street and then turned around and went back.

I ended up doing 1.33 miles, pretty good I thought in 13 minutes. Geez, I remember I couldn't even get 13 minutes done in a half of a mile. I was really pushing myself today, I wanted to just get back home and unwind, shower, blog, etc. I had to walk for just 10 seconds. Being I have been training for half marathons, I don't sprint much or run at a faster pace, so to push myself I get a little tired. I like it!

I like that dripping sweat and heavy breathing, feel it in your lungs type of deal. I probably could have done more, but I knew I needed, scratch that wanted, to get home. Trying to run after work is going to be hard , but I know I am going to have to do it some days, believe me I love sleeping in! Especially this time of year because work just drains me.

BUT on a positive note, I got day 4 and in the books.

Hope everyone had a great Hump Day.

This always makes me giggle:
Enjoy

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
