A Late Post on Run Streak

Hello Again!!!!! Oh my I have been quite absent. This is actually the first time I have sat down with my computer in forever. I did do a post about day 15, 16 & 17 from my phone. You will see that one coming through too soon, it took forever to publish.

Okay, so as you can imagine my life is a total tail spin. Work is really starting to ramp up a bit. It is busy and crazy and I feel like I should just build a bed in the back and just sleep there all the time. Since my life day off which was last Tuesday, I worked 83 hours. INSANE!!! This week alone from Sunday until yesterday, I have put in 33 hours. Today is my only day off and my last day off until Christmas.

And you know what, it is what it is. I am still doing the run streak, every single day. Even if it kills me. I seriously thought that training for a marathon was some tough shit, but this run streak after work or before work is really hard. I am just exhausted or beat. I mean I feel great every day but I mean the last thing I want to do is run BUT I am finding a way to get it done one way or another.

Okay so to recap Day 18, 19 and 20...

Day 18 was Sunday and I had to close at work, so I got 1.44 miles in before hand around the neighborhood.

Day 19 was after work for 1.01 miles. I had gotten home really late Sunday night, 11:45 pm. I came home, got in my sweats and went to bed, then was up at 6 to be to work by 7 and then worked until 6:30, then came home and got my mile in.

Yesterday was Day 20 and another long day. I brought my running clothes with me. Changed after working 7-630 again, ran around the neighborhood by the mall. I then had to go back to work because I forgot my schedule, got caught up in some drama with our machines and didn't leave until 8.

The minute I stepped through the door, I had a beer in my hand. Seriously I needed that and I picked up a big bottle of wine. I am not one to go to wine or beer after a long day, but this has been helping a lot. One glass really helps me unwind a bit. I mean YOLO!

Coffee in the morning and wine at night, survival for sure!!!

One thing too is my eating is way off. I am still in my points but my cravings and what I am grabbing and how hungry I feel is different. I want small and quick items. Trying to put in as many veggies and fruits as I can too, even though it has been hard, but I am getting there. Because I got out of work so late, I wasn't able to go and weigh in, so I am weighing in tomorrow before work. Hoping for another loss, but we shall see Aunt Flo was in town and well my cravings got in the way.

Okay, so I am off today, hitting up Target for a minute and then relaxing the afternoon away. I have some cleaning to do and laundry, but an afternoon nap is much needed.

I promise after the Christmas holiday this blog will back and running!

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

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

Image
First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and
