Double Dose of Training

Happy Tuesday!!!

While normally Tuesday's are really, really long days for me, today I just didn't mind it too much. Getting up early and making it through the day with work and such is getting easier.

I got up at 6:30, much later than I would normally but the snooze button and I are becoming way to close.  I used to NEVER hit the snooze button, now I cant stop. So I got up and dressed quickly and got out the door. I do like Tuesdays because it being a quick and easy run day, 3 miles and done. I then raced to get ready for work and made it on time.

Tried to have a half day but like always, never seems to work in my favor, but hey any early time when having only one day off, is fine by me. I was starving so I threw together some tuna, salad and a soup, oh and attacked, and I mean attacked these gems..



I think I have posted these before, they are amazing!!! Once I start I can not stop, thank goodness they are out of the house. Then I took an afternoon nap, I was beat and I was meeting my friend Jacke downtown for a walk and dinner, so I wanted to rest up a bit.

I met Jacke at 6 and we walked along our route we normally ran, around the Pier and back. Thunder was a bit much, so we got it by .50 miles, so we got in 2.65. It was a really nice night for a walk, not too hot, humid but not all that hot. We saw dolphins in the bay and got caught up on our lives, we haven't seen each in 2 months and it was so nice to catch up and like old times.

After we went to EVOS for lunch. EVOS is a healthy type of fast food. It is truly amazing and one of my favorite places to eat. James isn't a huge fan, but I love it AND it is on the WW app, so I don't have to do any extra finding of points.

Check out their website

EVOS

I got their Air Bake Fries, nothing is friend, it is all baked and you can tell the difference. You don't feel bloated or nasty and the fries are delicious. I got the Chipotle Turkey Burger and added Avocado. I was starving so I devoured that bad boy so fast. I really have to work on slooowwing down when I eat, I am like a beast haha.

Jacke got the crispy buffalo chicken wrap, with the fries and a chocolate milk shake. I had a taste it tasted just like a frosty, BUT with out all calories. Only 205 calories and 5pp. Next time, I am all about that. I decided to not get one because I really wanted FroYo, which was right down the street.

It was so nice to meet up with Jacke and with her busy life, she is going to nursing school and with mine, we need to take more time to just see each other and we vowed to do so.

I got my FroYo. Just a little and I added lots of fruit this time, no candy. Which is first for me, but I didn't want to ruin the good meal I had. I do weigh in tomorrow, but I really didn't want to past it up, YOLO, right???!!

So training I did double duty tonight, 3 running miles in the morning and 2.65 walk at night. Feeling pretty good. I think on my small runs, I can do something like that and I wont over do it, or do a little more exercise. I need to do some yoga and stretching and strength too. I found a great article in Runner's World and I am going to tackle on that this week too.

Oh and I forgot to mention yesterday, my awesome friend Nanci is also a runner like I mentioned, WW member and she starts official marathon training on the 28, she is also a blogger and it is fantastic. She has so much to offer, I know you will be inspired and motivated like I am!!

Low Point Apple Crisp

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
