Comfort Inn Morning

Good Friday Morning!!!

We slept great last night here at the good old Comfort Inn. I am a big fan of hotels, I don't know what it is about hotels, I kind of love them, just like airports. I love traveling and that whole concept, I wish I could do more of it. We have a king size bed and James is in heaven because even when I roll over I don't even come close to touching him haha. He loves that he has all the space and even was talking about looking at buying one for us. We will see how that goes, one time we went to a friends house and I love their dog and he hinted on getting one. Still waiting on that dog...

This morning I woke up at 5:30 and a hard time going back to sleep for quite sometime. I was thinking about getting up and running, but my body would not move, so I surfed the web and finally fell back to sleep. We slept until about 8:30 and then took advantage of the breakfast they provide here. Well I thought it would be toast and coffee and maybe some fruit. Nope so much more.

They had egg patties, sausage, toast, pastries, muffins, cereal, hard boiled eggs, light and fit yogurts, and make your own waffles. I stuck with a yogurt, a hard boiled egg, one piece of sausage, a mini muffin and a hard boiled egg and of course 2 cups of coffee. I was shocked with the good options and some simple start ways I can stick with in. I took some of the yogurts and oatmeal packets back to the room with me, they make great Simple Start snacks. I only had to count the sausage and muffin, which came to 6 points. I am really going to try to stick to this Simple Start this whole weekend, even though we will be eating out a lot, but I will count the points if I eat something different.

I think after this weigh in I will go back to counting points for a bit, but I am learning a whole lot trying this Simple Start. The weather has warmed up a bit, well at least I hope so. I think I am going to put on my running shoes and get a run in. I was going to drive downtown and get a long run in, but James and I really want to hang out together today, so I am just going to do a quick run, I did get 8 miles in on Sunday, and I usually only do one long run a week.

Since I am doing the Gasparilla Distance Classic Challenge, where it is 3 races in two days, this coming week I will do my back to back runs because I am off Wednesday and Thursday, bonus!

Happy Friday Everyone, since I am off today and we are at the hotel for most of the day, I am sure there will be lots of posts, 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

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
