All You Need Is A Monday...

Sunday morning was definitely an easy one and so was the rest of the day. I ended up laying on the couch while James played video games and I passed out for most of the afternoon, I never fall asleep on the couch, but it felt good to just be lazy for the day. After my nap we did nothing, we made lunch at home and just chilled out until a friend of ours came over to watch some football.

I got my couponing done and also started to look into the Weight Watchers Simple Start App and see what it is all about. My leader is going over it tomorrow in our meeting and it seems very simple, so I think it would be a nice way to jump start and kick off the year. Plus, I think I am going to have a bad weigh in tomorrow. The last couple of days I have been starving and a snack monster. Last year I was snacking on everything, granted we have some pretty safe items in our kitchen, but you can go overboard even if it is healthy.

I prepped my lunch for today for work last night which helped a great deal for this morning.

 Nothing really special, a Luna Fiber Bar, some Greek Yogurt with blueberries, which was delicious and a whole wheat reduced calorie turkey sandwich with cucumbers on it and spicy brown mustard.





I also snacked on some almonds, beef jerky and carrots with hummus. I was a hungry bug today. But I guess that's a good thing, and I am not grabbing candy bars or high caloric drinks.

The weather here in Florida took a drop, like a low of 30's tonight, that is a big deal here and today was my first day back to work and my loving monthly friend is killing me, I decided to just make today a rest day. I haven't taken one in well over a month, so I figured today everything lined up for it to be. I wasn't going to at first but my friend Jacke asked me to go to the gym at 5:00 am tomorrow, so I happily said yes. Plus it gives me an excuse to get up early, get a work out in and no complaining. And tomorrow is weigh in day, so I can use all the help I can get.

I am gonna take the weigh in and just deal with it. Its a new year, so I new chance to start over and get right back on track. I haven't been horrible at all, but my carbs and snacking has been through the roof because of Aunt Flo, lol.

Here's a little Monday Motivation for ya...

I love this...and I think it was just the perfect motivation

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
