Day 16: Walking with a friend

Today I was ready to take on the world.

Well not exactly, I was super tired when I got up this morning and wanted nothing more than to sleep in for at least an hour more, but duty called and I had to be to work really early. We had to change the store from Mother's Day to Father's Day, which meant into work early. 

But going in early also meant I could leave early, which is always nice and I did just that. I got out of work around 2:30 and I ran a couple of errands on my way home. Once I got home, my body relaxed and I wanted nothing more than to just take a nice nap. My friend, Jacke texted me earlier about going for a walk together and I was thrilled we were finally going to be able too.

I passed out and had a great nap and then met Jacke for our walk. Walking with a buddy and running with a buddy, makes a world of a difference. Time flies when you chatting and catching up. I was super excited to see Jacke because the last time we hung out was when we were training for Iron Girl, a little over a month ago. We caught on our lives and got a good hour walk in, which was of course perfect in line with my training plan.

I felt great after my walk and decided to use the energy I had flowing through me to clean my apartment. Every time I work a long week, our house cleaning takes a back seat and so does my laundry and everything that goes along with it. I even had time to prepare dinner. I am not sure if it was the energy of the walk or the fact I got to get to exercise with a friend but this was a great night. My mind is right, my hunger is of course on point, wanting to eat everything and well my training is going great.

And even better I am off tomorrow and Wednesday and I have some grocery shopping trips planned, to Aldi and Trader Joe's. A massage in the morning on Wednesday and eyebrow waxing and of course weekly weigh in. And a nap here and there!

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
