Time to have some #realtalk and Honesty

Yup. this has been my life this week...


Seriously I have been a cross between crying at everything and anything. 

SERIOUSLY EVERYTHING!

To hating life, looking in the mirror and seeing roll after roll after roll.

And then debating between eating a candy store and then washing it down with salt.

It has been rough. Let's get real ladies, PMS sucks!


Truth:

I wanna say poor James, but the minute I told him I had my period, THEN no matter what I said or did was because of that. Not because he was lazy and a bum and didn't put the toilet paper back on the roll or take out the garbage OR God forbid he actually puts his dirty laundry in the hamper and not just by it. THAT IS TOTALLY PMS Related haha.

But seriously PMS can make you feel broken. It did for me Sunday morning. To the point where I was down in the dumps. I am typically a really upbeat person, I maybe suffer from a little anxiety, maybe, I don't know, I don't know what it feels like really. BUT Sunday I felt like I was going to have a panic attack with my mood and emotions.

One minute I am happy and the next I am standing in the kitchen crying. I was beating myself up over everything and anything. It was something I had not experienced before. I knew I Had to do something to fix it.

It was 11:00 in the morning, so I looked at my running shoes sitting in the corner and I just went. I went out for a 3 mile run and the minute my feet hit the pavement and was moving down the road, I felt better.

One that sweat dripped down my face and I was catching my breathe, all those emotions were put on the back burner and I was concentrating on the music in my ears and the road ahead. It was amazing. Sure I was going slower than I wanted and the cramps were intense, but god that run felt great.

I have to say I am happy that I made the choice to just go for the run. Just get out there and hit the road and not care how hot it was, because believe it was hot or how tired I was or how I felt. I had to run away from the emotions I was having and I did just that.

Now not all PMS days are like that for me, but Sunday lets be real, it was tough. After the run I felt great and of course PMS was still there, haunting me but the endorphins from that run was a high that lasted all day.

My advice, when the world and life and everything in general is going out of wack, sweat it out. Walk, bike, run, do something, face those emotions, get lost in something else and come out on the other side and when this happens....

When ever someone says: "you must be on your period" I Just say: "I started my day in a puddle of my own blood, is that how you would like me to end yours?":

Have a great day!!

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
