Day 36: Part II - 200 steps! I Do!

I was thinking of Yoda's "There is no try..." as I hit the trail. So I did 200 consecutive RUNNING steps!  I broke my 150 steps from two days ago!  I always walk, more briskly every day and try to insert some jogging and running. But I pushed harder today.

I came home and had a glass of water, 5 baby carrot sticks and about 1 t yogurt dip.  The chana masala aroma has filled the whole house. I feel lightheaded. But it is not quite ready.  I'll have a bowl before I hit the gym.

Did I mention I have officially signed up for a 5K?  I HAVE! One of my student's moms told me that Portland Parks and Recreation (of which the Community Music Center is a part), holds $5 5K's in the summer. I signed up for the one held at Westmoreland Park in September. Unfortunately it is the same day as the Boring 5K, but the price is right and I am avid believer in Parks and Rec.

So I have a goal!

I will do! No try!

:)

PS:  I just looked through last week's posts and realized I have been practicing intermittent fasting for a whole week today!  I have fine tuned it to:

8 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Drink Water
10:00 a.m. Eat 1/2 grapefruit and tea
10:30 a.m. Run
12:00 p.m. Eat healthy lunch consisting of lean protein, veggies and whole grains.
2:00 to 6:00 Teach Piano/Practice Piano
Continue to drink lots of water
Can snack on veggies and fruit if needed
5:00 to 6:00 Healthy Dinner
7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Drink Water and herbal tea
11:00 Bed

Depending on the day, it is subject to change, EXCEPT I am going to stick with no solid food from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. on weekdays, and 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. on weekends.

TTYL!

Year Two, Day 307: Chasing Away The Gloomy Weather...with Music and a Smile! :)

It seems to me that most of the city is depressed, tired and sick. I still have my low grade snuffly nose, along with sneezing, and itching eyes.  Low energy. It is nice to know I am not the only one. Misery loves company, don't you know! Even through the gloom, I had an enjoyable day.  I told myself several times that I really am a lucky woman. My kids are grown, I'm going to be a GRANDMA, and I love my work. My church job is a nice secure little job and it seems I am quite needed there.  I am still learning the ropes. But I am enjoying it. Meeting new people. And best of all, I have only a 1 1/2 minute commute (by foot!). I have a cozy little room in a household full of wonderful laid back people.  People who love animals and music. But best of all, my afternoons are filled with music. I basically get on the bus and travel about town, sitting at pianos, visiting with students, who are like my family. We talk. They play the piano for me. I offer pointe...

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!
