Thunderstorms and Tuna????

My life I have to say was pretty uneventful today.

I had thought I was going to run when I got up this morning since I opened, which I don't always do on Thursdays, it was kind of new to me. So when the alarm went off, I said the heck with it, I'll run when I get home around 5, since it is light until 9ish and not so blazing hot. Yeah, well it seemed like a great idea, until I got out of work late and it was down pouring like crazy. I mean like hurricane like rain.

While, I am a runner and I'll run in most of anything, rain is not my friend. And thunder and lightening, we are also not best friends. So I had to make some adjustments to my training plan tonight and made it a XT night and run tomorrow, since I am off of work for the whole weekend too.

How freaking nice is that one??? I was on vacation 2 weeks ago and now I get the weekend off. Oh retail has it perks in the summer at times.

So I did the bike for 45 minutes, burned close to 300 calories and got 10 miles in. It was tough but I pushed, even though I could feel it in my right knee. I don't have pain when I run but doing that bike sometimes gets me. I need a real bike too. Next on my bucket list of wants.

Can I just say too, there is not enough time in the day to do all I want to do. Granted I am off this weekend, and I have some stuff set up, but the little things. Such as organizing my mail still from vacation, writing more posts, I have so many things to review, never enough time, LAUNDRY like crazy, oh and getting caught up on my DVR. Sunday, I have on deck a long run and then that is it. The day well be stuck indoors doing all of those things and a nap.

That's kind of it on my end.

Oh wait so my new obsession this week for lunch has been tuna! Yeah not sure why, but the single serve packets with some lettuce and whatever kind of nuts or croutons I have has been PERFECT.

I found Starkist had some fun flavors and they were on sale at Publix, which I am going back to stock up on because I love them.





I have had the lemon pepper, the sweet & spicy and the Ranch this week for lunch. Quick, easy and tons of protein. I love them and they taste great!!

Also perfect for a quick snack on the go!

I am off to devour my dinner, all this working out and never sitting down makes for a hungry girl!!

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.

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
