Journey to 26.2 Water & Fighting Myself

Happy Thursday and almost the week is done!!

I have to say I am glad I was super lazy on my day off yesterday because my next couple of weeks are going to be a little cooko bananas and rest will be very limited!

We had the best BBQ last night, I mean really, really, eat everything and then some good and then some sugar free soft serve. It was a perfect night out with my love but this morning, I needed to jump start right back to me.

I had my cheat meal and cheat day and now back to the grind and that starts with me and water. I enjoy water but it is not always my go to drink. I drink a lot of coffee and unsweetened green tea and of course my diet coke! I know it's not great but I am not budging on that one.

Yesterday ate Walmart I picked up some bottles to help me get my water in and a pitcher to make Crystal Light. 


I figure if I can drink these two things every day I am doing good. It comes to 109 ounces of water! Sure I am peeing like crazy but that is the idea. The pink cup had crystal light and then I just keep refilling it! I do better when I can drink from a straw. I finished those two by the end of work and now working on my second pink one!

I can feel the difference already.

Today was a run day and I should have went in the morning but I wanted to sleep in and took my chances with after work since it usually rains then. 

It looked really bad when I got out and I made every excuse to not go. I even came home and laid on the couch for a bit and then I snapped out of it! 


I was just being lazy. So I got dressed and said the heck with it and ran. 


Cause when I look back on my training I don't want to say I didn't give it everything I had.


And now day 81 is complete!!

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
